Summary: Which technique for which thermal effect?

The increased demand for plastic products has led to a rapid increase in the production of polymers. This, in turn, has resulted in an increase in environmental pollution. The desire to reduce this pollution, together with a desire to reduce the consumption of fossil hydrocarbons, has created a need to recycle polymer waste and return it to the economy as a raw material.

To achieve this goal, polymers need to be correctly identified and characterized. Suitable recycling processes must also be developed. Thermal analysis techniques are an ideal way to help accomplish these goals due to their suitability for analyzing polymer materials.

Polymer Recycling Pathways and Thermal Analysis Techniques

In this webinar, we look at the different recycling pathways available and how thermal analysis techniques, such as DSC and TGA, can be used to improve the quality of the end product. We will also take a closer look at evolved gas analysis (EGA) techniques. EGA is an excellent tool for identifying polymer blends by analyzing the comparative levels of gases that are produced on decomposition.

We will particularly focus on mechanical and chemical recycling, and provide a wide range of applications that can be adapted for you own use.
