Thermoelectric plastics: from design to synthesis, processing and structure–property relationships
Thermoelectric plastics are a class of polymer-based materials that combine the ability to directly convert heat to electricity, and vice versa, with ease of processing. Potential applications include waste heat recovery, spot cooling and miniature power sources for autonomous electronics. Recent progress has led to surging interest in organic thermoelectrics. This tutorial review discusses the...
متن کاملDetermining the amount of waste plastics in the feed of Austrian waste-to-energy facilities
Although thermal recovery of waste plastics is widely practiced in many European countries, reliable information on the amount of waste plastics in the feed of waste-to-energy plants is rare. In most cases the amount of plastics present in commingled waste, such as municipal solid waste, commercial, or industrial waste, is estimated based on a few waste sorting campaigns, which are of limited s...
متن کاملThe second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...
متن کاملControl technology assessment of plastics processing plants
A nually pproximately 12 million metric tons of plastic resins are processed anin the U.S. by more than 7000 plastics processing plants. Many types of resins, chemicals, and additives are combined to produde finished products through a variety of process operations such as adhesives production, coating, extrusion, film and sheet production, foam generation, lamination, and molding. Hughes et al...
متن کاملExpression of the entire polyhydroxybutyrate operon of Ralstonia eutropha in plants
Background Previously we demonstrated that an entire bacterial operon (the PRN operon) is expressible in plants when driven by the Tomato -yellow-leaf-curl-virus (TYLCV) -derived universal vector IL-60.Petroleum-derived plastics are not degradable, and are therefore harmful to the environment. Fermentation of bacteria carrying operons for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produces degradable bioplas...
