Utilizing Polyethylene Terephthalate PET in Concrete: A Review [PDF]
Polymers, 2023 In general, plastic waste has been growing remarkably. Numerous waste plastic products are generated by manufacturing processes, service industries, and municipal solid waste (MSW). The increase in plastic waste increases concern about the environment and how to dispose of the generated waste.

Efficient depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene furanoate by engineered PET hydrolase Cut190 [PDF]
AMB Express, 2022 Key points 1. The increased surface area of PET promotes its hydrolysis by Cut190, supporting the surface erosion mechanism by a two-step process (endo-type scission of a polymer chain and exo-type hydrolysis of depolymerized fragments).

Fungal Enzymes as Catalytic Tools for Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Degradation. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2021 The ubiquitous persistence of plastic waste in diverse forms and different environmental matrices is one of the main challenges that modern societies are facing at present. The exponential utilization and recalcitrance of synthetic plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), results in their extensive accumulation, which is a significant ...

Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) after Thermo-Oxidative Aging. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2021 The influence of the thermo-oxidative aging semi-crystalline polyethylene terephthalate process on the thermal and mechanical properties was analysed in the article. For this purpose, PET was aged at 140 °C for 21, 35 and 56 days. The research showed that as a result of aging, the amount of the crystalline phase increases by about 8%, which translates ...
