New plastic could transform recycling
A new type of plastic has been developed by scientists at the University of Surrey. The material, that turns into a gas when heated and reforms into a solid when cooled, could create a new approach to processing and recycling polymers (molecules found in plastics). Researchers have introduced a system that could simplify how materials are applied, removed and recycled by eliminating several of the complex processing steps that are currently us…
Researchers from England have discovered a plastic that evaporates at around 90 °C and becomes a solid polymer again when it cools down. According to their study, it is the world's first polymer with this behavior and opens up new ways for recycling and coatings.
