You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...

A sticky, toxic by-product that has long plagued renewable energy production may soon become a valuable resource, according to a new review published in Biochar. When biomass such as crop residues, ...

·Highly permeable protective textiles (HPPT) with micro/nano-networks were fabricated using a non-solvent induced phase separation, synergistically driven by CaCl 2 and fluorinated polyurethane, ...

Hydrogenated carbon nitride is synthesized by polymerization of 1,5-naphthyridine, a nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compound, under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The ...

electrochromic polymer; Poly(2,5–dimethoxyaniline); electrochemical polymerization; response time Herein, we reported the electrodeposition of PDMA on an indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrode from an ...

Polyurethanes, formed through the reaction of raw polyols with isocyanates, are one of the most widely used types of plastics today. By varying the starting materials, a diverse range of plastics can ...

In lieu of future cybernetics developments this is about as good as you're going to get. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Add us ...

Researchers have found a better method to recycle polyurethane foam from items like mattresses: They are not only able to break down PUR and separate the two main components -- they can do it in one ...
