On the role of system integration in plastic waste management

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Julia Granacher

The management of plastic waste is a growing concern that can harm wildlife and ecosystems, and its end-of-life policies are key to mitigating plastic environmental impact. This work presents a decision-making methodology for the thermal and material valor ...

Recycling of Load-Bearing 3D Printable Double Network Granular Hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet, Sanjay Phileas Schreiber

Sustainable materials, such as recyclable polymers, become increasingly important as they are often environmentally friendlier than their one-time-use counterparts. In parallel, the trend toward more customized products demands for fast prototyping methods ...

Recycling Plastic and Marine Debris: What Can Be Done about Bottle Caps?

When will the weight of all fish in the ocean equal the weight of plastic discards in the ocean? These plastic discards in the water impacts birds and sea life around the world. Just as the canary in the coal mine forewarns of danger, the Laysan or Pacific ...

Stitched shape memory alloy wires enhance damage recovery in self-healing fibre-reinforced polymer composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Nathan Klaus Hostettler

A major issue in composite technology is matrix micro-cracking due to low-velocity impact damage, which may severely limit service lifetimes of composite parts. In a novel approach, remarkable levels of healing of impact damage are obtained using shape mem ...

Influence of Chemical Composition on the Rheological Behavior of Condensation Reaction Resins

In this paper, the chemorheological and dynamic mechanical behavior of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins of four different formaldehyde/melamine (F/M) molar ratios (1.25, 1.5 1.75 and 2.00) are investigated. MF resins polymerize via a polycondensation reac ...

Tailored interfacial properties for immiscible polymers by hyperbranched polymers

The influence of hyperbranched polymer grafted polypropylene (PP-HBP) on the interfacial adhesion between fusion bonded bilayers of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) and on the properties of PP/PA6 blends was investigated. The interfacial adhesion b ...
