Significance of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate crystallinity on enzymatic degradation
New Biotechnology, 2023 Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a semi-crystalline plastic polyester material with a global production volume of 83 Mt/year. PET is mainly used in textiles, but also widely used for packaging materials, notably plastic bottles, and is a major contributor to environmental plastic waste accumulation.
