Toughening sustainable thermoplastics with poly(ester-alt-ethers): catalyst development, polymer blends and recycling
- Abstract:
-
Strong, tough and chemically resistant plastic materials, that are derived from petroleum, are responsible for a significant amount of CO2 emissions, and break down to form nano and micro-plastics, which are now pervasive in the environment. A more sustainable future for plastics relies on the development of high-performance materials that are renewably sourced, recycled without suffering losses in performance, and which are, ultimately, degradable to small molecules. This thesi...
