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

Sustainability management is a continuing process that must become an integral part of the business operations. Sustainability management is not a single act but a process. 

The difficulty in handling solar panel waste lies in managing the large amount of waste, retrieving valuable materials, and controlling toxic substances.

Did you know that during a hailstorm, your home’s roof is at risk of damage? The extent and type of damage depend mainly on the roofing material.

Researchers at Washington State University have developed an exciting new conductive, cotton-based fiber that melds cotton’s flexibility with the electrical conductivity of polymers.

Despite its benefits, multilayer plastic packaging faces complexities in recycling; innovation is key to a sustainable, circular economy solution.

Recycling plastic films through Solvent-Targeted Recovery and Precipitation (STRAP) is crucial for environmental sustainability since packaging commonly uses these materials. While experts are testing pioneering methods, scaling these techniques remains a challenge.

NAFION, a remarkable polymer crafted by the Chemours Company, earns widespread acclaim for its exceptional properties and versatile applications across various industries.

The inclusion of additives plays a crucial role in augmenting the functionality of packaging materials, ensuring they fulfill the varied requirements of different applications. This comprehensive analysis covers the main types of additives and functionalities to improve your packaging production.

EU-supported SmartCore project creates nanorods with a core-shell structure comprised of a multi-stimuli-responsive smart polymer and a piezoelectric ZnO shell. An array of these stimuli-responsive nanorods on a surface constitutes smart skin. These combine force, humidity, and temperature sensing (F-H-T) with high spatial resolution.

The terms “film” and “sheet” often lead to confusion within and outside the industry, as they are sometimes used interchangeably. While both refer to thin, flat materials, they possess distinct characteristics and applications.

IKV has consistently pushed the boundaries of knowledge, fostered interdisciplinary collaboration, and driven progress in the dynamic field of plastics.
