Most of us are accustomed to the comfort of an air-conditioned or heated shelter, providing temporary relief from an outdoor climate that’s often less than desirable. Such heating and cooling actually ...

When it comes to boat construction, all sorts of materials can take part in the assembly. Bigger vessels need heavy-duty structures to last, but even materials like polyethylene can make an excellent ...

Every year, 400 million tons of plastic products are produced worldwide, half of which are single-use items discarded within a year. In particular, non-biodegradable plastic waste, which takes over ...

Polyethylene, polypropylene and ammonia are poised to dominate upcoming petrochemical project starts globally by 2030. This can be ascribed to robust economic growth, and escalating demand for these ...

Overview: Polyethylene glycol 3350/electrolytes is taken to clean out your intestines before a colonoscopy or barium enema. It works by pulling water into your intestines to cause watery diarrhea.

Figure 1: Polyethylene chains and fibres. Figure 2: Schematic of experimental set-up used to measure the thermal properties of a single ultra-drawn nanofibre. In nanofibres, the defect density will ...

Today’s plastic grocery bag could be tomorrow’s high-tech track suit, thanks to fabric made from polyethylene—the same polymer that is used to make plastic wrap. Analyses suggest that the fabric could ...

Polyethylene terephthalate polyester (PET or PETE)is the most common thermoplastic polyester. It is commonly referred to as “polyester.” Polybutylene (PBT,) another thermoplastic polymer, is ...

Exposure to high doses of micro-sized polyethylene has adverse effects on cells, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland finds. The researchers investigated the toxicity of micro-sized ...

A new Europe-focused study reveals that polyethylene (PE), the most widely used packaging material in Europe, has lower life cycle global warming potential (GWP)—often used to assess greenhouse gas ...
