Covers factors contributing to polymer aging, degradation, gas permeability, diffusion, and thermo-oxidative degradation, as well as stabilization mechanisms and display technologies.
Explores polymer durability, oxidation mechanisms, accelerated aging, activation energy, and stress coupling, with case studies on polyamide 6.6 and the Arrhenius prediction method.
Explores non-destructive testing methods for assessing object health without damage, covering visual inspection, tapping, eddy current techniques, radiography, ultrasonics, and health monitoring.
Explores property changes during recycling processes, including molecular weight, viscosity, and toughness, with a focus on PET and short-fiber reinforced composites.
Explores the vital recycling chain, closed-loop recycling, and the cost of waste in hospitals, along with group work on recycling multilayer pharmaceutical packaging.
