Chemical engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo have joined forces to take on a pressing environmental problem by using synthetic biology to turn plastic waste into valuable resources.

Requirement 2: Both thesis and non-thesis students will pick from one of the following Certificate programs and fulfill their required courses as an area of specialization (some of the certificate ...

A new process that converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled into new PET products or upcycled into higher value materials. Harnessing moisture from air, Northwestern ...

Scientists from the University of Edinburgh have engineered genetically modified Escherichia coli bacteria to convert terephthalic acid, derived from PET plastic waste, into paracetamol. This ...

University of Texas at Arlington engineering professor Sahadat Hossain explains how the unique mix of plastic and asphalt is made. He and a team of students are piloting the sustainable mix on a paved ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are developing a new approach to home construction that ...

Plastics are inherently dielectrics or electrical insulators, with electrons tightly bound within their covalent polymer chains, preventing the free flow of charge. This property makes them ...

Modern joining technologies support complex geometries, miniaturization and integrated functionalities in plastic assemblies. Advanced process control and validation tools enable higher confidence, ...
