High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments
