Thermoset plastic recycling method. Thermoset plastic scrap deemed to be unrecyclable could be a new frontier in the circular economy in light of a new, continuous process patented by a Hong Kong ...

Not only are most thermosetting resins made from non-renewable ingredients, but they're also difficult to recycle. Swedish scientists have set about addressing those problems, by developing a new ...

New method for producing thermoset plastics allows them to be broken down more easily after use. Thermoset polymers, found in car parts and electrical appliances, must be durable and heat-resistant ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are working on a simple way of turning scrap thermoset plastics into new thermosets with similar properties. Their process involves mixing scrap ...

Case Western Reserve researchers developing process to recycle ‘thermoset’ plastics; examples include wind-turbine blades, auto parts, boats, other structural materials Researchers at Case Western ...

Epoxy resin is a type of thermoset resin commonly used in glue, paint and composite materials. NIMS and ISMA have developed a new thermoset plastic recycling system capable of easily decomposing epoxy ...

A research team led by Dr. Chong-Pyo Cho from the Energy Convergence System Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (President: Yi Chang-Keun, hereinafter referred to as KIER) ...

Phenolic breakdown remains a common issue in ageing electrical systems and can pose serious risks if left undetected. Through a combination of visual inspection and professional testing tools such as ...

Long perceived to be in decline, thermoset resin molding is being revived by two Japanese companies as a process with ample potential to contribute to lightweighting in electric vehicles (EVs).

Because of their high strength and light weight, carbon-fiber-based composite materials are gradually replacing metals for advancing all kinds of products and applications, from airplanes to wind ...
