As industries shift toward sustainability, the demand for environmentally responsible adhesives and sealants is increasing — driven by regulatory pressures, end-user expectations, and corporate initiatives. As demand grows, manufacturers are seeking materials that reduce carbon footprints without compromising performance. Biobased polymers, which can form the backbone of modern adhesive and sealant formulations, are poised as […]
Epoxy polymer overlay systems are designed to protect concrete structures and prolong the life of bridge decks and elevated concrete decks. Much of the wear and damage to these structures can be traced to corrosive de-icing chemicals that can migrate into the concrete and through cracks in the structure. Over time, if left unprotected, the […]
Great chemists have discovered ways to combine carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen into all manners of plastics: leak-proof food packaging, heat-resistant car parts, durable personal protective equipment — the list is long. The real challenge for a material scientist in the 21st century is finding the perfect recipe for making polymers more sustainable and higher […]
