Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the packaging industry

, 2020
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the third most widely diffused polymer exploited in the packaging industry, monopolizing the bottles market for beverages, and covering almost the 16% of the European plastic consumption in the packaging industry. Even

Hydrolysis of waste polyethylene terephthalate catalyzed by easily recyclable terephthalic acid.

Waste Management, 2021
Hydrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an efficient strategy for the depolymerization of waste PET to terephthalic acid (TPA), which can be used as a fundamental building block for the repolymerization of PET or for the synthesis of ...

Photoinjection into polyethylene terephthalate

Canadian Journal of Physics, 1977
We have measured the photocurrents injected into polyethylene terephthalate from evaporated aluminum electrodes in the wavelength range 475–300 nm following a careful depolarization of the specimens. The yield curves give linear plots of (yield)1/2 against photon energy. The threshold energy is [Formula: see text].

Polyethylene Terephthalate Blends

International Polymer Processing, 1988
Abstract Polymer-Polymer blends containing ethylene-methacrylic copolymers (EMAA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (where PET is the minor component) have been investigated. The permeability properties and the morphology of these blends, when the polyolefin phase is mildly crosslinked with small amounts of an agent that ...
