Thermoplastics

Understanding how the process’s nature may induce deviations from the part design is crucial to meeting quality requirements in any molding project.

Fatigue failure prediction methods of elastomers help estimate product service life and play a critical role in preventing catastrophic failures.

Manufacturers increasingly use lightweight yet durable plastics to replace metals, with new applications emerging regularly.

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, efficient, safe, and long-lasting batteries become critical to meet energy and performance needs. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power most EVs, but they face energy density, safety, and long-term reliability limitations.

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

The demand for sustainable, low-carbon materials is rising, driven by the global push toward decarbonization and the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions.

Researchers have developed a breakthrough technique to improve the durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the most widely used plastics.

In response to the shifting demands of the rotational molding industry, companies are developing pioneering technologies to reduce cycle times and integrate recycled content into advanced materials.

Researchers have now developed a bioinspired double-stranded yarn to harvest water from atmospheric fog efficiently.

PVDC is a synthetic polymer with exceptional barrier properties. It has transformed industries such as food packaging and medical products.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.
