Polyester plastics, commonly found in synthetic textiles and plastic components of home appliances, are notoriously difficult ...

A controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing a microbial strain that efficiently produces pseudoaromatic polyester monomer to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using systems metabolic engineering.

Pseudoaromatic dicarboxylic acids have better physical properties and higher biodegradability than aromatic polyester ... as an eco-friendly monomer that can be synthesized into polymers.

Polyester microdroplets can be formed by consecutive dehydration and rehydration following the pre-biotic synthesis of α-hydroxy acid (αHA) monomers, which could have been abundant on early ...

Most polyester resins are viscous, pale-colored liquids consisting of a solution of a polyester in a monomer which is usually styrene. The addition of styrene in amounts of up to 50% helps to make the ...

Textile-to-textile recycling company Circ has partnered with polyester producer Selenis to process and polymerise thousands of metric tons of Circ Polyester at an industrial scale.

Polyester is in almost all of your clothing, and it's almost impossible to recycle. ... Those monomers are transformed by a chemical company into PET plastic.

The ease of preparation of hyperbranched polymers has led to their incorporation into many copolymers. 39, 61, 62 The copolymerization of hyperbranched monomers as the random component of the ...
