Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

A one-pot method for producing a range of degradable, partially recyclable thermosetting plastics by polymerising the same ...

Researchers at Cornell University create a novel thermoset using dihydrofuran, enabling chemical recycling and natural degradation to combat plastic pollution.

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls – these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets ...

Hard, durable thermoset plastics appear everywhere from aircraft coatings to hip replacements. But they’re extremely difficult to recycle, and millions of tonnes end up in landfill, or incinerated ...

What types of new plastics can be developed with enhanced recycling capabilities? This is what a recent study published in ...

easier to shape and harden into durable thermoset products. The scientists upcycled plastic waste by employing two processes in tandem. Both are types of metathesis, which means a change of places.
