Polyethylene has a number of advantageous properties, but biodegradability is not one of them. A team of researchers has now developed a plastic which has similar thermoplastic properties to ...

Polyethylene terephthalate polyester (PET or PETE)is the most common thermoplastic polyester. It is commonly referred to as “polyester.” Polybutylene (PBT,) another thermoplastic polymer, is ...

Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and enables targeted modification of the material's properties. As a result, ...
