MANITOWOC, WI - January 21, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - MCM Composites, a manufacturer specializing in thermoset plastic ...

WDue to their good mechanical properties and low production costs, natural fibres are becoming a feasible choice as reinforcement for polymer matrices. Their low density also affords very good ...

Epoxy resin is a type of thermoset resin commonly used in glue, paint and composite materials. NIMS and ISMA have developed a new thermoset plastic recycling system capable of easily decomposing epoxy ...

Traditional carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials are neither recyclable nor repairable due to the thermoset polymers' permanently crosslinked network. Strong and durable like ...

A future when tough polymer resins and composites such as those found in wind turbine blades could be made entirely from plant-based, recyclable components just got a little closer. Researchers led by ...

New method for producing thermoset plastics allows them to be broken down more easily after use. Thermoset polymers, found in car parts and electrical appliances, must be durable and heat-resistant ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Chemists have developed a way to modify thermoset plastics with a chemical linker that makes it much easier to recycle them, but still allows them to retain their mechanical strength. Thermosets, ...
