Researchers at Clemson University have developed a “smart blending” process that could revolutionise the manufacture of plastics, as well as improving their performance. The performance of most ...

Discover how polymer upcycling through reactive extrusion and FTIR microscopy enables enhanced blend compatibilization for ...

• We have developed a new polymer-blending technique with only a high-shear flow field without any additives. • We have enabled nano-scale dispersion of immiscible polymers by blending with high-shear ...

Lamellar patterns with periodicities from several tens to hundreds of nanometers were created by directional solidification and epitaxial crystallization of blends of ...

Blending, grafting, curing, and functionalization are all techniques to modify the characteristics of a polymer. Blending is the process of physically mixing two (or more) polymers to obtain the ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

Heatec polymer blending system is one of the many polymer systems the company has provided for terminals in the U.S. and overseas. Available in both fixed and portable configurations Company was an ...

Recycling plastic products is a challenge. Not only are a limited number of types of plastic recyclable, but because the recycling process also breaks down polymer chains and degrades the materials' ...

CJ has filed a patent for a method of producing a masterbatch that includes an amorphous or semi-crystalline polymer and amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoate (aPHA). The method involves feeding aPHA in two ...
