Insights from K Show: 3D printing finds key niches in plastics, from conformal-cooling tooling to large-format parts and TPU lattices.

Collaborating through “COM-ART”, researchers and artists are turning information into action to support the circular economy of plastics.

3D-printed biodegradable meshes improve guided bone regeneration by combining custom fit, mechanical support, and enhanced tissue integration.

Hyper-nucleated polypropylene improves clarity, stiffness and recyclability in rigid packaging by controlling crystallization.

Researchers have developed a method for recycling post-consumer garments into injection-molding materials.

Recycling plastics at scale remains a challenge as waste streams grow more complex. Mixed materials and contamination limit the performance of many recycling routes.

As liquid hydrogen systems expand across energy and aerospace sectors, polymers face one of their most demanding service environments yet.

Dynamic covalent networks allow crosslinked polyethylene to flow, weld, and relax stress during processing.
