Covers the general aspects of polymer materials, the 'Big 5' technical polymers, spider silk nanostructure, synthetic polymers, major application segments of plastics, and the activities of the Polymer Science department at EPFL.
Explores the challenges and methods of plastics recycling, including mechanical and chemical processes, energy recovery, and the impact on material properties.
Explores property changes during recycling processes, including molecular weight, viscosity, and toughness, with a focus on PET and short-fiber reinforced composites.
