Plastic packaging waste faces increasingly stringent sustainability targets such as recycling
rates of 55% imposed by the European Commission. To realize the vision of a circular …

The main novelty of this paper is the use of poly-ethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) as a
new shape memory polymer with excellent shape memory effect (SME) and printability. In …

In this work, for the first time, PET-G commercial filament is employed for 4D printing of novel
tailormade self-morphing samples. PET-G was found to be an amorphous shape memory …

Recently, studies on the synthesis, modification, and functionalization of polyesters derived
from 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (2, 5-FDCA) have attracted widespread attention. Among …

The efficient depolymerization of polyesters under mild conditions remains a significant
challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a highly efficient strategy for the degradation of a diverse …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Polyesters constitute nearly 10% of the global plastic market, but most are essentially non-
degradable under ambient conditions or in engineered environments. A range of …

We present an innovative process for directly transforming poly (ethylene
terephthalate)(PET), a polymer extensively used in food and beverage packaging, into trans …

The use of NMR spectroscopy in solution to investigate the chemical structure of
engineering poly (alkylene terephthalate) s such as poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET), poly …

The search for materials with improved mechanical and biological properties is a major
challenge in tissue engineering. This paper investigates, for the first time, the use of …
