Henkel has patented a thermoplastic composition for 3D printing, containing amorphous polyamide polymer. The composition includes specific components like dimerized fatty acid and linear diamine. This ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered a new class of polymers as part of the work carried out within the ...

Completely bio-based poly(limonene carbonate) is a thermoplastic polymer, which can be synthesized by copolymerization of limonene oxide (derived from limonene, which ...

Rheological testing of thermoplastic materials can be carried out on both melts and solid samples. Issues related to process ability can be correlated with polymer melt properties, or problems ...

Dow Global Technologies LLC proposes a process for removing contaminants from thermoplastics, such as PCR plastic, that avoids negative aspects including solvent extraction, surfactants, caustics or ...

Rheology is the science of studying the flow and deformation of materials rooted in the laws of elasticity and viscosity proposed by Hooke and Newton in the late 17 th Century. Thermoplastic polymer ...

(b) Linear polymers in which the intermolecular forces of attraction are in between those of elastomers and fibres and can be melted again and again on heating followed by moulding to give the desired ...
