Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres represent a class of advanced polymeric materials that combine exceptional tensile strength, low density, and remarkable chemical inertness.
Chemists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to turn polyethylene (PE) plastics into propene, which can then be used to make new materials. This method of chemical recycling is ...
In the German research project bioPEtex, BB Engineering (BBE) is working with other partners to develop textiles made from ...
