Weekly Summary
[New] By product type, the composites segment is expected to expand at a remarkable CAGR rate from 2025 to 2034.
Precedence Research
Thermoplastic composites, like PEEK (polyether aether ketone) and PEKK (polyether ketone ketone), offer high impact resistance, recyclability, and a higher potential for repair and reshaping.
MDPI
Lithium-ion batteries could sustain over 500 charge cycles without significant degradation, whereas Li-Polymer batteries tend to last about 300 cycles under similar conditions.
THE BATTERY TIPS
As nature has survived for billions of years, looking to nature for inspiration - biomimicry, might be the only sustainable solution to the planet's problem.

From self-healing materials to ultra-lightweight composites, the innovations emerging from 2025 will define the next century of space exploration.
Apollo11Space
Clemson University researchers created a new polymer, pTPADTP, that could make AI more energy-efficient and cost-effective by transforming how computers process and store information.
Semiconductor Engineering
The bio-polymer segment for MPE tubes is projected to grow at 14.3% CAGR through 2030, driven by regulations like the European Union's Single-Use Plastics Directive.
PW Consulting Chemical & Energy Research Center
A new biocompatible polymer that helps glue and repair tissue without causing damage - initially developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - might be a better way to heal wounds.
New Atlas
Researchers have investigated the use of modified Halpin-Tsai model to predict mechanical performance in polymer nanocomposites reinforced with spherical fillers.
MDPI
The increasing availability of biomimicry burgers in the USA (e.g. the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger), including at major fast-food chains, represents one promising opportunity for replacement of red meat (in particular, beef) with more sustainable plant-based burgers.
PubMed Central (PMC)
Small-diameter vascular grafts will likely follow the success of 3D Systems' COAPTIUM nerve repair device, leveraging similar bioabsorbable polymer technologies for cardiovascular applications.
Quick Market Pitch
The bioabsorbable polymer conduits demonstrated 100% surgical success rates and restored patient mobility in clinical trials, with commercial rollout scheduled for 2026.
Quick Market Pitch
Most recently, BMW Group announced achieving a major breakthrough with the utilization of natural fiber composites, which will now be used for its series-production models following several years of development and in-depth research.
Securities.io
A report by management-consulting firm McKinsey on global plastics emphasises that if advanced recycling processes continue to evolve, recycled plastics would fulfil 4-8% of the total global polymer demand by 2030 and account for $40bn in capital investment over the next decade.
Outlook Business
Flexible display shipments requiring enhanced durability will exceed 250 million units annually by 2025, directly benefiting polymer adoption.
PW Consulting Chemical & Energy Research Center
Looking to 2030, the roadmap for architectural chitin composites includes further automation of manufacturing, integration with digital design and robotic assembly, and hybridization with other biomaterials for enhanced performance.
Yokosuka
In 2025 and the coming years, regulatory frameworks are expected to focus on integrating chitin composites into mainstream construction codes, particularly regarding fire resistance, structural integrity, and biodegradability.
