Their "crosslinked polymer" chemical structure guarantees longevity but also makes these petrochemical-based materials—which comprise 15%–20% of all polymers produced—impossible to recycle.

Known as thermosets, this type of plastic boasts a “crosslinked polymer” chemical structure that guarantees longevity but has also made these petrochemical-based materials – which comprise ...

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and ...

Thermosets make up 15-20% of all polymers produced globally, amounting to 60 million tons each year. Their strength comes from a crosslinked polymer structure that ensures durability but prevents ...

Scientists in Spain have reported the first self-healing polymer that spontaneously and independently repairs itself without any intervention. The new material could be used to improve the security ...

and which are held in place by the crosslinked polymer matrix. In essence, a molecular memory is imprinted on the polymer, which is capable of selectively binding the target. Thus, MIPs possess ...
