Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Japanese Scientists Create Saltwater Biodegradable Plastic Saltwater biodegradable plastic developed by RIKEN scientists dissolves completely in seawater after 8.5 hours, offering a promising solution to the global microplastic pollution crisis affecting oceans worldwide. Scientists at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed a saltwater biodegradable plastic that completely dissolves when soaked in seawater. This innovation could help address the growing global crisis of microplastic pollution that now affects every corner of our planet. Microplastics—plastic fragments smaller than 5mm—have infiltrated remote regions of the deep ocean, the Arctic, and even the air we breathe. These tiny particles are increasingly found in human bodies, particularly the blood and brain. While researchers are still studying their full impact, microplastics are known to cause significant problems in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The enviro...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share In 1964, a chemist's unexpected discovery at DuPont led to a material five times stronger than steel—Kevlar. The chemist was Stephanie Kwolek, working at DuPont's Pioneering Research Laboratory in Wilmington, Delaware. Kwolek was tasked with finding a new lightweight, yet strong, synthetic fiber to reinforce radial tires. She was experimenting with rod-like polymer solutions. During one experiment, she created a polymer solution that was different. It was cloudy, thin, and opalescent, unlike the usual clear and thick solutions. Many would have discarded it as a mistake. However, Kwolek was intrigued. She convinced a reluctant colleague, the operator of the spinneret machine used to make fibers, to test her unusual solution. They were concerned it might clog the machine. The results were astounding. The fiber spun from this solution was exceptionally strong and stiff – much stronger than any other fiber they had worked with. 🧪 This remarkable materia...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share You really understand how important mold temperature is in Injection Molding ? When molding semi-crystalline materials, a higher mold temperature will accelerate crystallization and possibly reduce (Yes, REDUCE) cycle time (see top right kinetic curve), while producing a stiffer part. When molding amorphous polymers, the degree of Physical Aging induced by a higher mold temperature will lead to a higher Yield Stress (left graph) and serious consequences on mechanical response. Creep performance and Impact will change by orders of magnitude, in opposite directions. Many erroneously interpret these effects as being due to residual stresses. source:Vito leo
