Immobilization of silver nanoparticles on polyethylene terephthalate [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2014 Two different procedures of grafting with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), activated by plasma treatment, are studied. In the first procedure, the PET foil was grafted with biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol and subsequently with silver nanoparticles.

Biological degradation of polyethylene terephthalate by rhizobacteria
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022 Abstract In view of growing demand of plastic products, an enormous proportion of plastic waste causing the biological issue is produced. Plants in collaboration with their rhizobacteria partners are also exposed to these contaminants. The aim of the study is to determine the rhizobacterial ability to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

Influence of the compatibilizer on the properties of composites based on low density polyethylene and polybutylene terephthalate [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Composite materials based on a polymer mixture -low density polyethylene and polybutylene terephthalate -have been obtained and investigated. To improve the compatibility of two thermodynamically incompatible polymers, a compatibilizer was used, which is

Confinement-induced vitrification in polyethylene terephthalate [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2007 Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis performed on cold-drawn polyethylene terephthalate (PET), cold crystallized (annealed) in the temperature interval 100-140°C, reveals the presence of marginally glassy domains above the annealing temperature Ta. This suggests that the thermodynamic force driving crystallization causes the structural arrest of some ...

Detecting microplastics pollution in world oceans using SAR remote sensing [PDF]
, 2018 Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans is estimated to have reached 270.000 tones, or 5.25 trillion pieces. This plastic is now ubiquitous, however due to ocean circulation patterns, it accumulates in the ocean gyres, creating “garbage patches”.

Biocatalytic recycling of polyethylene terephthalate plastic [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 The global production of plastics made from non-renewable fossil feedstocks has grown more than 20-fold since 1964. While more than eight billion tons of plastics have been produced until today, only a small fraction is currently collected for recycling and large amounts of plastic waste are ending up in landfills and in the oceans. Pollution caused by

Engineering Microbes to Bio-Upcycle Polyethylene Terephthalate
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is globally the largest produced aromatic polyester with an annual production exceeding 50 million metric tons. PET can be mechanically and chemically recycled; however, the extra costs in chemical recycling are not ...
