Anti-Fog masterbatches prevent droplet formation by modifying surface tension, spreading moisture evenly across the film and keeping it transparent. They are essential in food packaging, greenhouses, and refrigerated films — improving visibility, extending shelf life, and enhancing product presentation. source : Polimerizze Technology

  Introducing weaker bonds into polystyrene and rubber helps these materials dissipate energy, making them more resistant to destructive forces. With help from a novel cross-linking molecule, MIT chemists have shown they can substantially improve the ballistic impact resistance of common polymers, including polystyrene and a type of rubber used to make shoe soles. Polystyrene is a hard, glassy polymer that is used to make many types of plastic containers, such as bottles and mugs, as well as disposable cutlery. It is also found in coatings for electronic devices, and its foam form is the basis for Styrofoam and other lightweight packaging. (While sometimes labeled with recycling code No. 6, polystyrene is difficult to recycle and rarely collected for reuse in the U.S.) To make the polymer more resistant to sudden impact, the MIT team added weak bonds scattered throughout the material as cross-links, which allows the material to dissipate energy much more effectively under deformati...

Designed to move seamlessly from work to workout (and everything in between), the brand’s latest innovation combines the familiar softness of premium Pima cotton with advanced material innovation to deliver lasting shape, stretch, and comfort. Powered in part by NEOLAST™ fiber technology, and developed in collaboration with #Celanese , this tee from #UnderArmour brings together ultra-soft feel, resilience, and rapid-dry performance to keep up with modern, on-the-go lifestyles. The result: a shirt that looks like your favorite cotton tee but performs at a whole new level. It’s lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, no matter where you wear it. Behind every great fabric is a smart material choice. Meet The Future of Stretch – NEOLAST™ stretch technology.

Adding a PVC/PPH liner to the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tank combines the best of both materials, solving the key limitations of pure FRP tanks while extending service life and improving performance: Superior chemical & corrosion resistance PVC/PPH provides excellent resistance to most acids, alkalis, salts, and chemical solutions, including many corrosive media that ordinary FRP resins cannot withstand (e.g., chlorine-containing wastewater, hypochlorite solutions). It prevents chemical attack on the FRP layer. Zero leakage and anti-permeation performance :The liner is fully hot-melt welded, forming a seamless, impermeable barrier. It eliminates the risk of medium seepage into the FRP structure, preventing delamination and early failure. Smooth inner surface, anti-fouling and easy cleaning: The non-porous PVC/PPH surface prevents scaling, sediment adhesion, an...

A joint research team led by KAIST, Korea University, and the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has developed Water-Floating Nano-Transfer Printing (WF-nTP), a groundbreaking technology that enables precision metal nano-circuits to float on water and be seamlessly transferred onto virtually any 3D surface. By leveraging the unique properties of water, the team successfully transferred 20-nanometer-thick metal patterns while preserving their intricate nano-scale structures. The technology was demonstrated on a wide range of challenging surfaces, including plant leaves, fruits, flexible fibers, and highly curved objects. The resea...

Toray Industries, Inc., announced today that #TorayIndustries (India) Private Limited has decided to build a new production facility for #TORELINA™ at its site in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.   This high-performance #polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) resin offers excellent heat and chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy. Annual production capacity will be around 3,000 metric tons.   Operations should start in early 2027 at what will be Toray’s first in-house PPS compound production line in India. Supplies of samples to customers will begin in April 2027, with full-fledged mass production starting as soon as possible.   Toray will augment nylon and polybutylene terephthalate resin compounds that it already makes in India by establishing an integrated in-house PPS resin compound production system. It will expand its range of engineering plastics for #automotive electrical components and engine parts to optimize product design and process...
