Comprehensive Study on Thermal and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of PET/PEN Blends [PDF]
The effects of interchange reactions on the crystallization, melting, and dynamic mechanical thermal behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PET/PEN) blends prepared by melt mixing have been investigated.

Sourcing thermotolerant poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase scaffolds from natural diversity
Enzymatic deconstruction of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is under intense investigation, given the ability of hydrolase enzymes to depolymerize PET to its constituent monomers near the polymer glass transition temperature.

Effect of Reprocessing on the Crystallization of Different Polyesters
The changes in crystallization characteristics of four polyesters were investigated during multiple processing. Two of these were petroleum-based materials: poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT), and two were bio ...

A marine bacterial community capable of degrading poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyethylene.
Plastic wastes are becoming the most common form of marine debris and present a growing global pollution problem. Here, we used a screening approach on hundreds of plastic waste-associated samples and discovered a marine bacterial community capable of ...
