Read the latest issue of the SPE Sustainability Division newsletter.
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.
