The American Chemistry Council today applauded New York Governor David Paterson's decision to sign legislation (A.11725/S.8643-A) that expands consumers' access to recycle plastic bags and product wraps statewide...
Tomorrow's specialty plastics may be produced more precisely and cheaply thanks to the apparently tight merger of a theory by a University of Oregon chemist and years of unexplained data from real world experiments involving polymers in Europe.
It’s holiday time again and everyone wants electronics, whether it’s
a new camera phone for Sis, the latest gaming device for Junior, or a sleek
laptop for Mom. But unlike the good old days, when the largest box triggered
the greatest anticipation, today’s most requested gifts come in petite

from engineering thermoplastics pioneer SABIC
Innovative Plastics.
You could hardly find greater contrasts in one and the same team. Plastic is light and inexpensive, but insulates electric current. Metal is resilient and conducts electricity, but it is also expensive and heavy.
A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind. The new technology, called transparent ...
Imagine tiny cracks in your patio table healing by themselves, or the first small scratch on your new car disappearing by itself. This and more may be possible with self-healing coatings being developed at the University of Illinois.
Carbon, the active ingredient in charcoal, is normally not considered a fire retardant, but researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have determined that adding a small amount of carbon nanofibers to the polyurethane foams used in some upholstered furniture can reduce flammability by about 35 percent
Future Lighting Solutions today announced the availability of Carclo Technical Plastics’ Ultra Wide Angle Optic, the first off-the-shelf optic for LED lighting applications requiring uniform illumination over a wid...
Curators worldwide work hard to preserve and maintain artefacts housed in museums. But although curators expend considerable efforts on paintings, sculpture and fossils, they must also contend with the problem of how to best preserve plastics.
