Closed-loop recycling of plastics enabled by dynamic covalent diketoenamine bonds. [PDF]

, 2019
Recycled plastics are low-value commodities due to residual impurities and the degradation of polymer properties with each cycle of re-use. Plastics that undergo reversible polymerization allow high-value monomers to be recovered and re-manufactured into

Compatibilization Mechanisms of Telechelic Polyethylene Reactive Additives in Polyethylene Terephthalate/Polyethylene Blends

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A deeper understanding of reactive blend compatibilization using hydroxy telechelic polyethylene additives in blends of glycol‐modified polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene is developed. Preformation of copolymer during reactive mixing is key for successful compatibilization of this system at lower mixing temperatures. ABSTRACT Imperfect sorting
