Chemists Just Worked Out How to Recycle Some of Our Toughest Single-Use Plastics – ScienceAlert
Thermosets are some of the toughest plastics around. They’re used in products that have to be particularly durable and heat-resistant – but that also makes them very difficult to break down and recycle.
Thermosets are some of the toughest plastics around. They’re used in products that have to be particularly durable and heat-resistant but that also makes them very difficult to break down and recycle.
That could change with the help of new research into the chemical bonds that hold these thermosets together. The study suggests that by changing the way they’re made, we could keep the original strength of these thermosets, but make them able to be broken down and recycled.
