Solving the green PET problem
Time: 2014-04-03 Source from: european-coatings
Researchers from Italy developed a green material by blending recycled PET and isosorbide, and the bio-based succinic acid.
A kinetic study has been performed in order to determine the best catalyst for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) depolymerisation with isosorbide and for the subsequent polycondensation of PET oligomers with succinic acid.
