Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

A one-pot method for producing a range of degradable, partially recyclable thermosetting plastics by polymerising the same ...

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.

Because of these properties, thermosetting plastics can be found in products such as electrical fittings and circuit boards.

Because of these properties, thermosetting plastics can be found in products such as electrical fittings and circuit boards.

In contrast, thermosetting plastics ... 13 By understanding the different types of plastics, their properties, and their environmental implications, we can make more informed choices and ...

Thermoset plastics, used in applications such as bowling balls ... The polymerization reactions are light-initiated and ...

Hard, durable thermoset plastics appear everywhere from aircraft coatings to hip replacements. But they’re extremely difficult to recycle, and millions of tonnes end up in landfill, or incinerated ...

The Department of Plastics Engineering provides instruction about and performs research on thermoplastic and thermoset elastomers. Since thermoset elastomers, including thermoset rubber, require ...
