This work addresses a novel bio-solvolysis process for the treatment of complex poly
(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) waste using a biobased monoethylene glycol (BioMEG) as a …

The massive accumulation of postconsumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in the
environment demands enhancement in the recycling rate to tackle global pollution. At the …

Polymer composites with various recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate)-based (PET-based)
polyester matrices (poly (ethylene terephthalate), copolyesters, and unsaturated polyester …

Glycolysis is the most promising chemical recycling method to depolymerize poly (ethylene
terephthalate)(PET) with ethylene glycol (EG) into the monomer bis (2-hydroxyethyl) …

The glycolysis of poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET), a polymer extensively used in food
packaging, into bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) monomers was investigated using …

Plastic circular economy needs to be established to solve environmental issues related to
plastic waste. Superengineering plastics such as liquid-crystalline (LC) polymers exhibit …

Although though ionic liquids (IL) are rapidly emerging as highly efficient reagents for the
depolymerization of waste plastics, their high cost and adverse impact on the environment …

Microplastics (MPs) are abundant in aquatic systems. The ecological risks of MPs may arise
from their physical features, chemical properties, and/or their ability to concentrate and …

Currently, only empirical methods are available for modeling the polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) glycolysis reaction, which do not have any predictive power, and thus, these rely …

Reaction kinetics provides significant insights into the reaction rate and mechanism to
control a chemical reaction. In the present work, the detailed kinetics of glycolytic …
