Chemical degradation of step growth

Hvdroglycolysis The term hydroglycolysis refers to the combined use of polyols (diols, triols, etc.)/alcohols and water as the reagents to bring about chemical degradation of step-growth polymers. In one example PUR foam waste was dissolved in EG at 185-220°C under N2 water and alkali metal hydroxides (e.g. NaOH) were added to the...
