1 the Process of Recycling of Polyesters with Polymeric Chain Extenders (original) (raw)

2005

Abstract

Epoxy-functional, styrene-acrylic polymers with low molecular weight, high functionality (> 4) and tailored polydispersity have been designed, synthesized and commercialized to be used as chain extenders or recycling aids PET and other polyesters. Dramatic increases in molecular weight, mechanical, and rheological properties of virgin, reprocessed, and post-consumer recycled polyesters are achieved without the incidence of gellation. Erema’s VacuremaTM recycling equipment is well-suited to processing the additive, and can improve efficiency over 400% Screw selection is shown to be especially important.
