Plastic pyrolysis is a chemical process that involves chemically breaking down plastics into other molecules by heating the plastics to extremely high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.

About 100 million metric tons of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), one of the world's most commonly used plastics, are ...

If cruising in style is a priority, the new ST3 Pro offers a built-in ambient lighting system integrated into the footboard with fifteen separate lighting modes, all conveniently controlled by the ...

A new study reveals that polymers, once thought to be harmless due to their large size, may degrade into toxic chemicals over time.

Here the authors develop a strategy for co-upcycling polycarbonate, and polyethylene terephthalate, two types of waste commodity polymers, into polyarylate, a high-performance transparent ...

We hope that this work will help us learn about the types of microplastics floating through the air ... Similarly, spectral ...

To deal with microplastic pollution, it helps agencies to know what kind of plastic they’ve got on their hands.

Obesity is broadly defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. However, there are different types of obesity classified by their severity. Although the term "morbid obesity" was used in ...

Here are 16 types of loans that can help you make necessary purchases in your life: Personal loans generally come in two forms: secured and unsecured. Secured loans are backed by collateral—such ...

The scientific community has long believed that polymers—very large molecules—are too big to migrate out of products into people and therefore pose no health risks. As a result, polymers have largely ...

Polymer chemists at ETH Zurich have discovered a surprising way to virtually fully break down PMMA plastic – commonly known as Plexiglas – into its monomer building blocks. The process remains ...
