Since recycling of polymers is a preferred means of reducing unwanted wastes and land-
filling activity, and recovering monomers or other materials of economic value, tertiary …

Polymers have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and today we produce
around 370 MT of plastic per year. Only about 20% of it is being recycled, and the rest, 80 …

Chemical recycling has increasingly gained attention in order to mitigate environmental
pollution and facilitate the transition to a circular economy. Yet only a minor fraction of the …

The chemical recycling of non-biodegradable colored waste and scrap Polyamide 6 (PA6)
textiles (CWPA6T) containing diverse dyes into regenerated ɛ-caprolactam (rCPL) through …

Hydrolytic recycling is a promising way of recycling Polyamide 6 (PA6). Hindered by strict
hydrolytic conditions, the large-scale industrial application of PA6 hydrolytic recycling …

Timescales of polyamide 6 melt-shaping technologies, relative to the dynamics of
conformational rearrangements upon crystallization, challenge the formation of the most …

To address the problems of virgin plastic production from fossil resources and the growing
amount of plastic waste, a rapid transition to a circular economy is being pursued. The …

Hydrothermal aging behavior of polyamide 6 (PA6) and its composites (PA6/calcium
carbonate [CaCO3] and PA6/short glass fiber [SGF]) was systematically investigated using …

Abstract Polyamide 6 (PA 6) melts and dissolves in super-heated water when T> 160° C.
Commercial PA 6 films were treated in super-heated water at 140° C< T< 160° C, ie below …

Hydrogen-bonded polymer complex films with the thickness ranging from 50 nm to 2400 nm
were prepared by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)(PEOX) and …
