Kaneka has announced that it is highlight its wide portfolio of material solutions for the functional and foamed plastics industry at K 2019. At its booth (Hall 6, stand 6A020), Kaneka will present state-of-the art polymer technology, including a major advancement in sustainability.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB is using a new, recently patented process to develop new polyamides from the terpene 3-carene, a residual material from the cellulose industry.
Clariant prioritizes sustainability and collaborative action at K 2019 in several new initiatives supporting greater circularity and resource-efficiency for the plastics industry launched at the show.
Piovan Group is presenting state-of-the-art technologies, from drying systems to temperature control, from traceability of the raw materials to solutions for industry 4.0, to provide complete turnkey solutions at K 2019 – stand 9B60 – with its own brands, Piovan, Aquatech, Fdm and Penta.
Trinseo will showcase its commitment to sustainability at the K Show (Hall 6, Booth E57) from October 16-24 in Düsseldorf, Germany. At the forefront of its presence at K Show, Trinseo will prominently highlight its activities advancing the circularity of Polystyrene.
A Florida State University research team has developed methods to manipulate polymers in a way that changes their fundamental structure, paving the way for potential applications in cargo delivery and release, recyclable materials, shape-shifting soft robots, antimicrobials and more.
A recent study performed by North Carolina State (NC State) University revealed that exceptional materials with distinct properties—similar to those of gecko feet—can be produced by exploiting liquid-driven chaos to create soft polymer microparticles with hierarchical branching on the micro- and nanoscale.
Dow has announced the development of a new resin made with 70 percent recycled plastic. This innovative new solution, called AGILITY™ CE, is the first post-consumer recycled (PCR) product offering of Dow's plastics circularity portfolio to incorporate a high percentage of post-consumer plastic waste.
Scientists at the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at TU Dresden have succeeded in synthesizing sheet-like 2D polymers by a bottom-up process for the first time. A novel synthetic reaction route was developed for this purpose.
Scientists have discovered a new method to make a polymer material known as polybenzoxazole (PBO), which is commercially known as Zylon. This material is used in the manufacture of bulletproof vests and other high-performance fabrics.
