Abstract
Regeneration of used pet bottlesviaelectrospinning, into high performance membranes for smoke filtration.
Highlights
Useful recycling of plastic polymer waste is a growing concern over the entire globe
The results suggested an internal morphology with a high degree of molecular orientation in the amorphous segments along the thinner fibres, consistent with a constrained mesomorphic phase formed during their rapid solidification in the electric field
These post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are nowadays highly valued in manufacturing since they are inexpensive compared to virgin PET, which would have an equivalent market price of ca. 150 million USD if no PET would be recycled in the USA.[4]
Summary
Useful recycling of plastic polymer waste is a growing concern over the entire globe. The total spin time was varied depending on the PET concentration of the sample (10 wt% spun for 4 h, 15 wt% for 2 h, and 20 wt% for 1 h) in order to produce bre mats of similar thicknesses.
