Compounds such as ethanol, lactic acid, succinic acid and glycerol would then replace — or at least reduce our reliance on — fossil-based compounds such as ethene, propene, butadiene and benzene.

Polymerisation is the process in which many small monomer units combine to form one large polymer molecule. The alkenes ethene and propene are two important feedstocks in the petrochemical ...

Main applications include packaging, textiles, healthcare, pipes, automotive, and electrical applications. Polypropylene random copolymer is produced by polymerizing ethene and propene together. It ...

The Refrigerants Market is projected to grow from USD 6.3 billion in 2022 to USD 9.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.4% ...

Plastic waste, especially polyethylene and polypropylene, makes up a staggering two-thirds of post-consumer waste glo ...

The process can even run efficiently with a mixture of polypropylene and polyethylene. Note that propene is just another word for propylene. Credit: UC Berkeley One of the most promising aspects ...

The global refrigerants market is segmented based on type into HFC & blends, HFO, isobutane, propane, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and others (HCFC, air, water, propene, and isopentane). HFC & blends ...

Plastic bags, bottles, and containers may soon get a second life, thanks to a new chemical process developed by scientists at ...
