Commercial fire-retarded PET formulations - relationship between thermal degradation behaviour and fire-retardant action [PDF]

, 2007
Many types of fire-retardants are used in poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, formulations, and two commercial fire retardants, Ukanol(TM) and Phosgard(TM), have been shown to improve significantly PET flame-retardancy when used as comonomers.

Modulating Integrin and Growth Factor Signaling With Peptides: Strategies to Synergistically Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

Corrosion Protective Coating Based on Alkyd Resins Derived from Recycled Poly (ethylene terephthalate) Waste for Carbon steel

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013
The goal of this investigation is to obtain alkyd resins using recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate), PET, and different vegetable oils. Glycolysis of PET waste using pentaerytheritol (PEr) was used to produce suitable hydroxyl oligomers, GPEr, for ...

Ion flow in a zeolitic imidazolate framework results in ionic diode phenomena [PDF]

, 2016
Ionic transport (for applications in nanofluidics or membranes) and “ionic diode” phenomena in a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) are investigated by directly growing the framework from aqueous Zn2+ and 2-methylimidazole as an “asymmetric plug ...

Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...

Electrochemically Mediated Alkaline Hydrolysis and Methanolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)

ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering
Low-impact, closed-loop recycling of plastics is crucial to sustainably managing these pervasive and resource-intense materials. Our approach aimed to reinvent chemical recycling by integrating it with electrochemical processes to generate reactants electrochemically and depolymerize plastic in situ, with the objective of reducing both costs and ...
