This article discusses the identification of polymers such as ABS, PE, PS, PET, and PMMA in various dyes using Raman spectroscopy. Rapid and non-destructive identification is achieved once a suitable ...

One way to reduce plastic pollution in the environment is to identify different types of plastic to guarantee efficient waste management. Plastics are one of the most widely utilized products globally ...

A peptide sensor to detect water-soluble polymers in wastewater, a major contributor to pollution on par with microplastics, has been developed by scientists from Tokyo Institute of Technology. The ...

Scripps Research, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and several other collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a machine-learning ...

Chemicals of concern in plastics: Number of the chemicals identified as of concern, less hazardous, not hazardous, without data, and under development. The outer circle represents chemicals that are ...

Polymer-based-or plastic-synthetic materials have a hold on the fashion industry, currently making up about two-thirds of all fibers used in textiles with no signs of slowing down. At the same time, ...
