Chemists have developed a new catalysis concept for obtaining polyester from castor oil. The development of future technologies that are not based on mineral oil and can be used for producing ...

Polyester fibers are crafted through a process called polymerization. Polymerization transforms recycled plastic bottles into new polyester fabric by breaking them down into smaller molecules, then ...

Surface modifications of polymer fibers and molded articles have been studied because of their importance in industry. Polymer products are required to adjust the surface properties, such as their ...

A recent study investigates how polyester microdroplets, potential precursors to modern cells, could form under realistic early Earth conditions. Researchers pushed these conditions to the limits, ...

This week, the polyester market revolved around two core questions: "How much higher can costs go?" and "To what extent will the concentrated ...

One of the most successful plastics is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the material we use to make bottles and fibers for clothing. However, PET is made from petroleum-based building blocks. An ...

The development of future technologies that are not based on mineral oil and can be used for producing chemicals and plastics is one of the major tasks in modern materials science and a key challenge ...
