Global polymer production is about to exceed 400 megatons yearly, and recycling methods
enabling a climate-neutral, circular polymer economy are highly important to successfully …

In pursuit of a circular economy of plastics, there is a need to use more recycled plastics for
new products. Polypropylene (PP) constitutes a major fraction of post-consumer plastic …

In line with efforts to create a circular economy of plastics, recent EU legislation is
strengthening plastic bottle recycling by ambitious separate collection targets and …

The routine analysis of polymer blends at the nanoscale is usually carried out using electron
microscopy techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission …

A gold nanourchin (AuNU) probe with a novel sensing mechanism for monitoring H2S was
developed as a feasible colorimetric sensor. In this study, AuNUs that are selectively …

The preparation process from waste fibers to regenerated fibers is an environmental
significance work. In this work, liquid chromatography/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry …

The use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic materials in sensitive packaging
applications, such as for cosmetic products and detergents, requires a clear understanding …

Recycling is a current hot topic with a focus especially on plastics. The quality of such plastic
recyclates is of utmost importance for further processing because impurities lead to a …

Research in natural products (NPs) has gained interest as drug developers turn to nature to
combat problems with drug resistance, drug delivery, and emerging diseases. Whereas NPs …
