In most polymer studies, nitrogen or another inert gas, such as helium or argon, is used as a purge gas to ensure that the polymer undergoes pyrolysis instead of combustion. In later stages, the purge ...

During pyrolysis, the plastic polymers are broken down into smaller molecules, resulting in the production of liquid oil, fuel source gases such as methane, propane and butane, and char. Char is the ...

Researchers have shown that table salt outperforms other expensive catalysts being explored for the chemical recycling of polyolefin polymers, which account for 60% of plastic waste. The research ...

- ETH materials researchers have developed a groundbreaking method that enables the near-complete recycling of Plexiglas for the first time. - The polymer chains are broken down into their individual ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the characterization of polymers, providing unparalleled insights into molecular weights, chemical compositions, and sequence distributions.

Turning plastic waste into useful products through chemical recycling is one strategy for addressing Earth's growing plastic pollution problem. A new study may improve the ability of one method, ...
