Japanese researchers have developed an accelerated testing method to quickly and accurately determine if harmful chemicals ...

Microplastics in food can now be detected in hours instead of days, thanks to a new method that improves testing accuracy.

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have identified a hidden source of error in microplastic measurements: the gloves ...

A breakthrough method for chemically recycling acrylic—one of the world's most widely used plastics—has been developed by ...
