The global solvent systems market for closed-loop plastics recycling is poised for significant expansion, with projected ...

The solvent dichloromethane, or DCM, is commonly used to strip paint and cut grease. It's also what generations of chemistry students have used to dissolve pain reliever tablets in a lab exercise ...

The polyester precipitates from the solvent upon cooling, and can likewise be reused. In tests conducted so far, it has been possible to recover up to 100% of the cotton and 97% of the polyester. "The ...

Multilayer plastic materials are ubiquitous in food and medical supply packaging, particularly since layering polymers can give those films specific properties, like heat resistance or oxygen and ...

Researchers have invented a new solvent-free polymer for digital light printing (DLP), a type of 3D printing that essentially pulls solid objects out of a shallow pool of resin one layer at a time.

In the demanding world of aircraft and aerospace component manufacturing, highly effective precision cleaning is vital from ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...
