Advanced polymers Vs old fashioned plastics

Many people think all plastics are the same, but comparing modern advanced self-healing polymers with brittle plastics of the past, is like comparing the first commercially available handheld cellular phone (also known as "the brick) with a modern smartphone - they are simply worlds apart.

Plastics have come a long way since their inception in the 1940's. New "Smart" self-healing polymer compounds, when used for stabilising and reinforcing highly carbon intensive concrete, their long lifespan is actually environmentally beneficial as it saves carbon intensive concrete from landfill for around one hundred years.

Why Is Polymer Better Than Plastic?

Polymer is better than plastic because many examples are more flexible, sustainable, and biocompatible.

Because these materials are naturally occurring, they break down more quickly in nature than synthetic plastics. Additionally, some polymers are used in drug delivery systems and medical implants due to their biocompatibility.

Single use plastics (even polymers) are never a good choice. The fact that polymers are so resilient and long lasting makes them beneficial in applications like this, as they improve the lifespan of the carbon intensive concrete foundations, greatly reducing the impact of repeated repairs and carbon intensive waste on the environment.

Smart plastics- Advanced Polymer compounds

Intelligent materials, also known as smart materials, are capable of reacting to various external stimuli (such as impact froma vehicle) or environmental changes by rearranging their structure at a molecular level and adapting functionality accordingly. We have developed Smart Advanced Polymer compounds to create a material with improved properties, particularly in terms of impact resistance and flexibility.
