Reactive melt processing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) waste into calcium terephthalate
Recycling of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has attracted much attention in recent years because of the pressure from the environment. However, the cost-effective conversion of waste PET into value-added products by ecofriendly methods remains ...

Enhanced Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Hydrolase Activity by Protein Engineering
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase (PETase) from Ideonella sakaiensis exhibits a strong ability to degrade poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) at room temperature, and is thus regarded as a potential tool to solve the issue of polyester plastic ...

Crystallization kinetics of poly(lactic acid)-talc composites [PDF]
The crystallization kinetics of Poly(lactic acid) / talc composites were determined over a range of 0 wt.% to 15 wt.% of talc. Talc was found to change the crystallization kinetics.

Preparation and characterization of in situ polymerized cyclic butylene terephthalate/graphene nanocomposites [PDF]
Graphene reinforced cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) matrix nanocomposites were prepared and characterized by mechanical and thermal methods. These nanocomposites containing different amounts of graphene (up to 5 wt%) were prepared by melt mixing with

A study of all-polymer composites: all-poly(ethylene terephthalate) and all-poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) [PDF]
PhDComposites are normally composed of two distinct phases: reinforcement and matrix. In recent years, a new class of “self-reinforced” polymer composites or “all-polymer” composites, which are based on similar or identical materials for both ...

Development and characterisation of injection moulded, all-polypropylene composites [PDF]
In this work, all-polypropylene composites (all-PP composites) were manufactured by injection moulding. Prior to injection moulding, pre-impregnated pellets were prepared by a three-step process (filament winding, compression moulding and pelletizing).
