This study investigates the structure–property–performance (SPP) relationships of two thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), FILAFLEX FOAMY 70A and SMARTFIL® FLEX 98A, manufactured by fused filament fabrication (FFF). Disc specimens were...

In this contribution, two silsesquioxane–cyclopentadienyl titanium complexes featuring one or two chloride ancillary ligands, [Ti(η5-C5H4SiMeO2Ph7Si7O10-κO)Cl2] (1) and [Ti(η5-C5H4SiMe2OPh7Si7O11-κ2O2)Cl] (2), were synthesiz...

Currently, resin polymer anchoring agents are widely used for bolting support in coal mine roadways to anchor the bolts to the surrounding rock mass. However, due to the relatively low strength of the resin anchoring agent itself, the required anchor...

The crystallization behavior of poly(aryletherketone) (PAEK) determines its applicable molding process and profoundly affects its mechanical properties. However, research on the crystallization behavior of new PAEKs and their impact on performance is...

Short fibre-reinforced polymers (SFRPs) are increasingly used in structural applications where mechanical integrity under complex loading is critical. However, conventional modelling approaches often fail to accurately predict mechanical behaviour in...

This study examines the chemical recycling of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) dental waste in semi-batch fixed-bed reactors via pyrolysis, aiming to convert this waste into the valuable monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA). First, the effect of temperatur...

The smoke toxicity of epoxy resin limits the application of its carbon fiber composites in marine interior structures. To address this issue, a novel epoxy resin (EZ) was synthesized by grafting phenyl propyl polysiloxane (PPPS) onto ortho-cresol nov...

The persistence of the synthetic plastic waste problem makes it one of the most pressing environmental challenges. Sustainable material is an alternative approach to reduce petroleum plastics. In this research, our work aims to convert two biomateria...

This publication presents an improved manufacturing method for tetrahedral metal effect pigment particles that demonstrates reduced flowlines in injection-molded polymer components compared with conventional platelet-shaped pigment particles. The pre...

Biocomposites incorporating bio-based polymers and natural fibers hold great promise due to their environmental and economic benefits, though their commercial use is still limited by production challenges. This study reports the development of polyla...
