Crystallization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate): A Review. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel)Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a thermoplastic polyester with excellent thermal and mechanical properties, widely used in a variety of industrial fields. It is a semicrystalline polymer, and most of the industrial success of PET derives from its easily tunable crystallization kinetics, which allow users to produce the polymer with a high crystal

Chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Application to the synthesis of multiblock copolyesters [PDF]
eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2014 The chemical recycling of the poly(ethylene terephthalate), (PET), has been successfully carried out by glycolysis in the presence of bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) resulting in the formation of hydroxytelechelic oligomers.

Value-Added Products Derived from Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Glycolysis [PDF]
MoleculesAmong polymer wastes, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the most important commercial thermoplastic polyester. Less than 30% of total PET production is recycled into new products. Therefore, large amounts of waste PET need to be recycled. We describe
