Abstract:
Novel applications of waste thermosetting resins are developed by facile mechanical crushing, and their excellent performances are demonstrated in oil-water separation, superhydrophobic coatings with diverse water adhesion, acid liquid/gas monitoring and information storage. This work provides new ideas for waste treatments and functional material design, as well as speeds up the transformation of waste resins from laboratory achievements to industrial applications. Moreover, it can also improve the utilization efficiency of non-renewable resources and meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the...
