This book provides an overview of various recyclable polymers in detail. At first, different polymer structures and their resulting properties are introduced, after which the major part of the book deals with different methods of recycling. Recycling of common polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and PET, are discussed as well as rubbers, fibers, engineering polymers, like Nylon and polycarbonate, polymer blends and composites.
The book concludes with an outlook of future technology and the toxicological impact of recycled polymers.
