Webinar – Thermal Analysis Techniques for Polymer Recycling

Program Overview

Introduction to polymer recycling pathways
Overview of thermal analysis techniques
Real-life recycling application examples: DSC, TGA, evolved gas analysis
How TA is used in mechanical and chemical recycling
Summary: Which technique for which thermal effect?

The desire to reduce plastic pollution, along with the desire to reduce fossil hydrocarbon consumption, has created a need to recycle polymer waste and return it to the economy as a raw material.

To achieve this recycling goal, polymers need to be correctly identified and characterized. Suitable recycling processes must also be developed. Thermal analysis techniques are ideal for achieving these goals because of their high suitability for analyzing polymer materials.

Polymer Recycling Pathways and Thermal Analysis Techniques

In this webinar, we look at the different recycling pathways available and how thermal analysis techniques can be used to improve the quality of the end product. We will also take a closer look at evolved gas analysis (EGA) techniques. EGA is an excellent tool for identifying polymer blends by analyzing the comparative levels of gases that are produced on decomposition.

We will particularly focus on mechanical and chemical recycling, and provide a wide range of applications that can be adapted for your own use.
