ORNL and JuggerBot 3D are collaborating to expand 3D printing capabilities to include thermosets and thermoplastics.

JuggerBot 3D and ORNL launch second R&D collaboration - building on the production-ready technologies developed previously.

Now, a team of engineers from the University of Delaware has developed a 3D printing technology that enables low-cost, flexible production of items made of fiber-reinforced polymer composites using ...

The early high-performance thermoset-matrix materials were called advanced composites, differentiating them from the glass/polyester composites that were emerging commercially in the 1950s.

Thermoset polymers have cross-linked networks that make them exceptionally tough and useful materials. But they are also practically impossible to break down or recycle. And epoxy-amine resins ...

Scientists tackle difficult-to-recycle thermoset polymers Scientists have discovered how to make thermosets like gels, rubbers and elastomers so they can be degraded and be re-formed without loss ...

Thermosetting polyurethanes have excellent elastic properties and solvent resistance, but they cannot be reshaped like thermoplastic polymers after molding. In this study, we designed a ...

The new solvent-assisted process called “vitrimerization” transforms the thermoset plastic into a new class of materials known as vitrimer polymers, which can be reformed and reprocessed. The next ...
