Sustainability
Various topics related to sustainability in plastics, including bio-related, environmental issues, green, recycling, renewal, re-use and sustainability.
SPE Sustainability Division 3rd Quarter 2017 Newsletter
Read the latest issue of the SPE Sustainability Division newsletter.
Novel bionanocomposite systems for packaging applications
Incorporating silicon carbide and calcium carbonate nanofillers into soy protein and starch, respectively, improves the thermal, mechanical, and chemical-resistance properties of the samples.
Fabricating nature-inspired self-healing polymers
A thermo-reversible self-healing epoxy resin based on Diels-Alder chemistry is synthesized and strength-tested as part of a fiber-reinforced composite material.
Polymethylolacrylamide films for antibacterial and biowaste management applications
A novel electrosynthesis method is quicker and safer than conventional approaches, and allows the practical uses of the products to be broadened.
Industrial-scale preparation of nanocellulose-reinforced biocomposites
A novel method is used to fabricate recycled polylactic acid/cellulose nanofiber composites and to improve the overall properties of the biofilms.

Creep-recovery behavior of novel polyurethane/carbon nanotube composites
Dynamic mechanical analysis and three well-known models were used to investigate the mechanical properties of samples synthesized from recycled poly-ethylene terephthalate.
Agricultural waste can replace wood in plastic composites
Waste wheat straw can be treated for use as an environmentally sustainable reinforcement in composite materials, with performance equal or better than wood-polymer composites.
Real-time viscosity monitoring during graft copolymerization of gelatinized starch
A combined stirrer-torque meter provides a novel and effective way to obtain continuous, in-line measurements of reaction mixtures.
Enhancing the processability of plastics using carbon dioxide and water
The synergy obtained by combining supercritical carbon dioxide and superheated water enables polyethersulfone to be processed at significantly lower temperatures than in conventional processes.
High-modulus biocomposites based on short wood fibers and acrylic resin
Replacing natural fiber mats with short wood fibers in acrylic resin biocomposites reduces the associated production cost and cycle time.
