When it comes to boat construction, all sorts of materials can take part in the assembly. Bigger vessels need heavy-duty structures to last, but even materials like polyethylene can make an excellent ...

Polyethylene, polypropylene and ammonia are poised to dominate upcoming petrochemical project starts globally by 2030. This can be ascribed to robust economic growth, and escalating demand for these ...

Figure 1: Polyethylene chains and fibres. Figure 2: Schematic of experimental set-up used to measure the thermal properties of a single ultra-drawn nanofibre. In nanofibres, the defect density will ...

Polyethylene terephthalate polyester (PET or PETE)is the most common thermoplastic polyester. It is commonly referred to as “polyester.” Polybutylene (PBT,) another thermoplastic polymer, is ...

Today’s plastic grocery bag could be tomorrow’s high-tech track suit, thanks to fabric made from polyethylene—the same polymer that is used to make plastic wrap. Analyses suggest that the fabric could ...

Bordeaux and Marseille chemists have succeeded in transforming two of the most widely used but also most difficult plastics ...

Polyethylene Naphthalate is a polyester that is chemically quite similar to polyethylene terephthalate but which is more temperature resistant. So far available only as biaxially oriented and heat ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...
