Explore the fascinating process of manufacturing thermoset plastic serving dishes and plates. Skilled workers carefully mold and shape each piece, ensuring durability and functionality. From raw ...

New thermoset plastic is easily reduced to its source chemicals, recycled An acid bath could make electronics, car parts a bit easier to reuse.

Not only are most thermoset resins made from non-renewable sources, but they're also hard to recycle. Scientists have set about addressing those problems, by developing a new lignin-based ...

The researchers demonstrated how well the recycling process works with a few examples. First, they colored pieces of plastic with different pigments, mixing in carbon nanofibers, to boot.

The solid fuel grains that will power the world’s largest operational hybrid rocket will be a thermoset plastic similar to nylon.

Epoxy resin is a type of thermoset resin commonly used in glue, paint and composite materials. NIMS and ISMA have developed a new thermoset plastic recycling system capable of easily decomposing ...

Thermoset polymers have cross-linked networks that make them exceptionally tough and useful materials. But they are also practically impossible to break down or recycle. And epoxy-amine resins ...

Thermoset plastic recycling method. Thermoset plastic scrap deemed to be unrecyclable could be a new frontier in the circular economy in light of a new, continuous process patented by a Hong Kong ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Cleveland, say they have developed a new technology to recycle rigid, long-lasting plastics used in cars, planes, wind turbines and other ...

Examples of thermoset plastic products include glass-reinforced-polyester boat hulls and circuit-breaker components, epoxy printed-circuit boards, and melamine dinnerware.
