Composites

Recycling has become a turning point for environmental sustainability, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. However, not all materials are equally easy to recycle.

The lower recycling rates worldwide have demonstrated that effectively managing plastic waste needs multiple recycling technologies.

The need to produce lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles that comply with stringent environmental regulations and reduce carbon footprints drives the growing interest in Natural Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (NFRP) composites.

Researchers are exploring the use of bio-based materials to enhance the performance and sustainability of solar cells.

Electronic devices emit substantial energy as electromagnetic interference (EMI). Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) emerge as a potential solution, as their shielding properties can be tailored to mitigate this interference.

The fast expansion of the wind energy industry has resulted in a significant rise in Wind Turbine Blade (WTB) waste. Unfortunately, conventional disposal methods can exacerbate environmental issues.

Conductive polymers (CPs) have emerged as a significant material in the development of supercapacitors due to their unique properties and potential applications in the market.

Innovative Roadway Pavements can fulfill multiple functions, including pavement condition monitoring, snow-melting, urban heat island effect (UHI) reduction, and self-healing.

Microencapsulated flame retardants (MFRs) revolutionize the landscape of fire protection for polymer materials. They leverage encapsulation technology to enhance performance while addressing environmental and safety concerns. 

PVC-fiberglass composites have been positioned as an effective and innovative alternative, combining the strengths of both materials to create pipes with improved characteristics.

Self-healing polymers can revolutionize the packaging industry by significantly enhancing product durability, safety, and reliability.

Antibacterial polymers are engineered to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, making them essential in healthcare and public settings.
