Would You Eat From Barf-Scented Plastic? Didn’t think so. But that’s the trouble with recycling molded plastic from many food containers. They’re often made of polypropylene (PP), a.k.a the #5 plastic ...

Analysis by IDTechEx says technological refinement and commercial scaling are among the challenges still being confronted in the chemical recycling subsector. Polypropylene is among the resin types ...

The advanced recycling market predominantly focuses on technologies like pyrolysis and depolymerization (thermal, chemical, and enzymatic). To a lesser extent, methods such as gasification and ...

The remaining material is then shredded, mixed with a proprietary ionic liquid solvent (a liquified salt, in other words), and placed inside a reactor chamber. Within that reactor, the polypropylene ...

Dissolving polymers with organic solvents is the essential process in the research and development of polymeric materials, including polymer synthesis, refining, painting, and coating. Now more than ...

We investigated, on the basis of light-scattering theory, the relationship between the color of polypropylene gel and the refractive index in the vicinity of the interface of polypropylene networks in ...
