- Recycled polypropylene for food contact: employment of a-C:H thin films by plasma deposition and degradation in the presence of contaminants, AP.R
Abstract
In this project, initially the clarified polypropylene will be contaminated with a series of contaminants stipulated by FDA. After that the samples will be recovered and reprocessed by extrusion. Different chemical structures of a-C:H thin films (diamond like carbon and polymer like carbon) are evaluated as functional barrier. The thin films will be deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical...

- Post-consumer PET recycling: evaluation of the degradation in the presence of contaminants, AP.R
Abstract
Recently, the use of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in the packaging market has contributed to rapid disposal to maximize their participation in the composition of municipal solid waste. The recycling of this polymer is consolidating in Brazil but the presence of contaminants in degradatives processes, as well as the steps of recycling, the decontamination of the material still need furth...
- PET recycling: a study of the solid state polymerization and increasing of barrier properties by deposition of amorphous carbon by PECVD process, AP.R
Abstract
The growing applications of polyethylene terephthalate - PET, mainly in the soft drink market, associated with the lack of adequate management of municipal solid waste (MSW), has caused serious environmental problems in Brazil. As the principal PET application is in blow-moulded packaging, it would be extremely useful if this material could be treated to be returned to its suitable form...
