Plastic waste in the oceans is a significant problem that will require innovative solutions to tackle. A research paper published by PNAS has demonstrated the feasibility of creating fuel from collected waste which will significantly improve the entire process of plastic waste removal.
COVID-19 has also affected waste creation and composition, as well as disposal and waste management in the pollution process.
More than 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced annually, which causes serious environmental issues because of plastic's life cycle and the difficulty of eliminating it.
Certain molecules have features that cause them to group together in particular ways, known as self-assembly.
Plastics have taken the world by storm over the last century, finding applications in virtually every aspect of our lives. However, the rise of these synthetic polymers, which form the basis of plastics, has contributed to many serious environmental issues.
Many kinds of garments and wearable products have cushioning materials that provide shock absorption and user safeguards. The journal Polymers considers weft or warp woven spacer textiles that have lately been employed as a substitute for foam materials.
Fiber-reinforced polymer or FRP composites are commonly implemented in the construction field for many purposes, such as cladding repair and strengthening work.
The application of Additive Manufacturing in the field of biocompatible material manufacturing has truly been beneficial in increasing the biomechanical performance of the end products, as expanded upon in new research in Polymers.
Polymers exhibit lightweight and certain optimal material properties such as specific strength and rigidity. A batch forming process called single point incremental forming (SPIF) is considered in the Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering.
A newly designed coating that enables some liquids to move throughout surfaces without any loss of fluid can power new advancements in various fields, such as medical testing.
