Multilayer polymer laminate packaging materials are carefully engineered composites, with each polymer layer selected to deliver specific chemical and physical properties. This design allows for the ...

The packaging industry faces growing pressure to become more sustainable due to the environmental impact of traditional plastic polymers, which contribute to issues such as plastic waste, resource ...

Nylon fishing lines and nets are particularly durable plastics, with lifespans extending into the hundreds of years, causing significant issues to marine life. 2 To tackle the issue, organisations ...

When two solutions of oppositely charged polymers (polyelectrolytes) are mixed, phase separation occurs and leads to the formation of a polymer-rich phase and a supernatant phase. The precise ...

The European Symposium on Polymer Spectroscopy (ESOPS) founded in 1969 in Cologne gives opportunity to share knowledge of current research and development on the spectroscopic characterization and ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a method to convert a commonly discarded ...
