Researchers have found a way to create industrially important thermoset polymer and fiber-reinforced polymer composite products at considerably lower expense than has been possible before. The ...

Carbon nanomaterials offer formulators and designers of polymer composites additives that can boost mechanical strength. However, these improvements do not materialize as expected when such systems ...

Bio-Based Polymers and Composites is the first book systematically describing the green engineering, chemistry and manufacture of biobased polymers and composites derived from plants. This book gives ...

Polymer-nanoparticle composites are used in batteries, construction materials, nonstick coatings, and electronic and medical devices. But making them requires multiple steps or a lot of heat and ...

An example of how MI is being used in composites was announced by Toray Industries (Tokyo, Japan) in 2021 — it leveraged MI to develop a new high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...

Chemists discovered a new way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, they could increase the materials' resistance to tearing ...

Automakers are committing significant resources to develop electric, autonomous, and hybrid vehicles. These OEMs also need to meet rising demand for greater connectivity in every class of car, ...

The Annual Global Summit on Polymers and Composite Materials (AGSPOLYMERS2026) will be held from September 21–23, 2026, at the Panorama Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic. The summit aims to provide a ...
