List of Contributors. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Plastics, Polymers and Rubbers by Vibrational Spectroscopy (John M. Chalmers and Neil J. Everall). Spectra Structure Correlations: ...

Nylon fishing lines and nets are particularly durable plastics, with lifespans extending into the hundreds of years, causing significant issues to marine life. 2 To tackle the issue, organisations ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...

Understanding how polymers change structurally throughout the extrusion process is critical for optimizing extruded product production. Extrusion can change a polymer's structure and properties in ...

Advancements in nanotechnology have heightened the demand for analytical tools that can reveal the chemical makeup of newly created materials at the tiniest scales. Electron microscopy can pinpoint ...
