During melt-processing, the molecular weight of poly (ethylene terephthalate) PET, being
prone to hydrolytic degradation, decreases proportionally with its initial moisture content …

Abstract Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is a thermoplastic of high-volume applications,
and is identified as Number 1 in the Resin Identification Code on single-use packages. The …

Foaming of recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate)(rPET) was performed by supercritical
carbon dioxide (sc-CO 2) assisted extrusion. The intrinsic viscosity (IV) of rPET was …

Challenges involving tendon and ligament repair have motivated the investigation of new
strategies to improve clinical outcomes. These have been mainly based on polymer …

The effects of mould temperature (cooling temperature) on molten HDPE (Hostalen GC
