Mineralisation makes chemical recycling of fluoropolymers a possibility
By using molten sodium hydroxide, researchers show they can produce fluorite from fluoropolymers in a two-step process
- Research
Water works as a monomer in polymer synthesis
Water monomers form direct linkages in polymer backbones when used to synthesise polyethersulfones
- Research
