Depolymerization Mechanism of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) in Supercritical Methanol

The kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) depolymerization in supercritical methanol was investigated to develop a chemical recycling process for postconsumer PET bottles. PET with a high molecular weight (IV value (intrinsic viscosity) = 0.84) was depolymerized in a batch reactor at temper...
