Poly (ethylene terephthalate) recycling for high value added textiles
Sang Ho Park,Seong Hun Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the problems in the use and disposal of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and including the concise background of virgin and recycled PET as well as their possible applications are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community-based polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production from wastewater: Techno-economic analysis and ex-ante environmental assessment.
TL;DR: Conceptual process design, economic, environmental impacts and sensitivity analysis are developed for one fermentation process and three downstream processing routes, based on alkali, surfactant-hypochlorite and solvent treatments, finding the alkali treatment is the most favourable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing life cycle energy and GHG emissions of bio- based PET, recycled PET, PLA, and man-made cellulosics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the environmental profiles of petrochemical PET, (partially) bio-based PET, recycled PET, and partially biobased PET and compared them with other bio-product materials, such as man-made cellulose fibers and polylactic acid.

Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion behaviour of the acetaldehyde scavenger 2-aminobenzamide in polyethylene terephthalate for beverage bottles.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was the determination of the migration kinetics of 2-aminobenzamide into natural mineral water as well as into 20%anol, which indicates that 20% ethanol is causing swelling of the PET polymer.

Infrared spectra of high polymers: Part IX. Polyethylene terephthalate
C. Y. Liang,Samuel Krimm +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a complete assignment of the spectrum of polyethylene terephthalate and three of its deuterated analogs has been made on the basis of analysis of the predicted spectrum, and with the aid of data from benzene and substituted benzenes, the authors suggest a modification of the proposed chain structure of this polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the development of ordered structure in poly(ethylene terephthalate). 1. Results from external reflection infrared spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, front-surface external reflection infrared spectroscopy was used to study a set of samples of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) corresponding to various states of order: highly amorphous, drawn at 80 °C to different draw ratios, and thermally crystallized under different conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Surface Orientation in Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) by Front-Surface Reflection Infrared Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the use of front-surface specular reflection FT-IR spectroscopy to characterize surface orientation in thick samples of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourier transform Raman study of the conformers in poly(ethylene terephthalate)
TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy has been used for the study of the quantitative structural changes which take place in poly(ethylene terephthalate) on annealing, and the two-phase conformational model proposed previously in the infrared domain using photoacoustic FTIR has been extended to the Raman domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Step-Scan Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform Infrared Studies of Uniaxially Drawn Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dynamic infrared spectra of uniaxially drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate) under a sinusoidal strain and revealed that the phenyl ring 18a band at 1018 cm-1 and phenyl-ring 19b band at 1410 cm -1 were composed of three and two independent components, respectively.
