A team of scientists has got a step closer to making several different types of plastic much easier to recycle, using a method that could be applied to a whole range of difficult-to-recycle polymers, ...

Thermosetting epoxy resins are widely used in our society for adhesives, electronic devices, and building materials owing to their hardness and chemical stability; however, their robustness hinders ...

Despite the increasing use of fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) across multiple industries for the development of lightweight structures, the conventional manufacturing methods for ...

Polymers with breakable bonds inserted into the polymer chains (B) were more easily degraded and re-formed than those with breakable bonds in the cross-lnks (A). A team of UK scientists has got a step ...
