Mixed plastics waste valorization to high-added value products via thermally induced phase separation and spin-casting
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Plastic waste is an underutilized resource that has the potential to be transformed into value-added materials. However, its chemical diversity leads to cost-intensive sorting techniques, limiting recycling and upcycling ... -
Towards green membranes: Repurposing waste polypropylene with a single plant-based solvent via tandem spin-casting and annealing
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)A key aspect of advancing sustainable membrane technology is to source eco-friendly polymers, such as recycled plastic waste, use renewable plant-based solvents, and limit the number of solvents used in dissolution-precipitation ... -
Transforming polypropylene waste into transparent anti-corrosion weather-resistant and anti-bacterial superhydrophobic films
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The global pollution crisis arising from the accumulation of plastic in landfills and the environment necessitates addressing plastic waste issues. Notably, polypropylene (PP) waste accounts for 20% of total plastic waste ...
