2. Polyethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate

   The National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) defines PET as: "Polyethylene terephthalate items referenced are derived from terephthalic acid (or dimethyl terephthalate) and mono ethylene glycol, wherein the sum of terephthalic acid (or dimethyl terephthalate) and mono ethylene glycol reacted constitutes at least 90 percent of ...

3. PET bottle recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_bottle_recycling

   Polyethylene terephthalate can be depolymerized partially or completely to yield the constituent oligomers or the monomers, MEG and PTA or DMT. The main processes are glycolysis, methanolysis or hydrolysis. [18] [19] After purification, the oligomers or monomers can be used to prepare new recycled polyethylene terephthalate ("r-PET"). The ester ...

4. Plastic bottle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bottle

   Polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE) / Polyester This resin is commonly used for carbonated beverages, water bottles, and food packaging. PET provides very good alcohol and essential oil barrier properties, generally good chemical resistance (although acetones and ketones will attack PET), and a high degree of impact resistance and tensile ...

7. BoPET - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoPET

   BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation. [1] When metallized, it has [3] gas and moisture barrier ...

8. Ideonella sakaiensis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideonella_sakaiensis

   The flagellum attached to this bacterium are used as motile organelles and are able to rotate and thrust the cell throughout its environment by creating motion. The bacterium was also shown to grow on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET),a type of plastic, adhering with its thin flagellum. This is shown in the image to the right.

9. Condensation polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_polymer

   Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a common condensation polymer.. In polymer chemistry, condensation polymers are any kind of polymers whose process of polymerization involves a condensation reaction (i.e. a small molecule, such as water or methanol, is produced as a byproduct).
