Thermoanalytical approach to assess riverine PET litter and its recycling potential

Thermoanalytical approach to assess riverine PET litter and its recycling potential

Abstract In this proof-of-concept study, a thermoanalytical method based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is proposed to quantitatively link the crystallisation dynamics of bottle-grade poly(ethylene-terephthalate) (PET) with its degradation state. The study uniquely simulates long-term su...
