U of I team uses frontal polymerization for rapid energy-efficient manufacturing of polymers; saving 10 orders of magnitude of energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer-curing process that could reduce the cost, time and energy needed, compared with the current manufacturing process. There is plenty of energy stored in the resin’s chemical bonds to fuel the process. —Scott White, lead author. —Jeffrey Moore.
