Researchers at the university in New York have combined four detection methods in an attempt to measure recycled content in a ...

Japanese researchers have developed an accelerated testing method to quickly and accurately determine if harmful chemicals ...

Recycled plastics are promoted on everything from water bottles and fleece jackets to shopping bags and yogurt cups: "This ...

Microplastics in food can now be detected in hours instead of days, thanks to a new method that improves testing accuracy.

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can provide valuable insights into how materials respond to heat. It is a thermal analysis ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

Polymer-based-or plastic-synthetic materials have a hold on the fashion industry, currently making up about two-thirds of all fibers used in textiles with no signs of slowing down. At the same time, ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...
