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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In reworking the connections within plastic materials, researchers are studying how plant-based compounds could eventually serve as scalable alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics.
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 ...
The manufacture of orally dissolving films is done by various methods such as solvent casting, hot-melt extrusion, semisolid casting, solid-dispersion extrusion, and rolling. The authors discuss these ...
