Acrylic recycling method runs below 200°C without solvents or light irradiation
Chemistry World reports that Athina Anastasaki and colleagues at ETH Zurich developed the method. Its linked description identifies hydrogen atom transfer agents as key to producing pristine monomers from old acrylic.
TLDR
Chemistry World reports that the ETH Zurich team developed a chemical recycling method for acrylic that works below 200°C without solvents or light irradiation. The researchers say it is the first low-temperature method of its kind. Chemistry World says the approach could improve prospects for commercial scale-up.
