In the amazing number of new plastics that debuted at the K show in duseldorf last fall, there is no complete focus on faster processing or higher strength, heat resistance or chemical resistance.
Resin suppliers seem to bet that the content of \"bio-based\" or \"renewable\" will match those other qualities, thus deciding which materials to choose for the next generation of cars and other consumer and industrial products.
In K, however, this is not all \"green \".
The nano-composites have attracted some attention, and some real novelty and \"first\" have also attracted attention in olefin, engineering plastics, TPEs, and thermosolid LSRs.
More than 100 new materials have been reviewed here, but many other new materials have been previewed in our September previewshowreport. (see Learn More).

In the amazing number of new plastics that debuted at the K show in duseldorf last fall, there is no complete focus on faster processing or higher strength, heat resistance or chemical resistance.
Resin suppliers seem to bet that the content of \"bio-based\" or \"renewable\" will match those other qualities, thus deciding which materials to choose for the next generation of cars and other consumer and industrial products.
In K, however, this is not all \"green \".
The nano-composites have attracted some attention, and some real novelty and \"first\" have also attracted attention in olefin, engineering plastics, TPEs, and thermosolid LSRs.
More than 100 new materials have been reviewed here, but many other new materials have been previewed in our September previewshowreport. (see Learn More).
