Mixed Dicarboxylic Acids Derived from Polyethylene as a Feedstock for the Synthesis of Polyesters

To move away from the currently linear fossil-based plastic value chain, we aim to produce dicarboxylic acid monomers, such as succinic and adipic acid, by the oxidative conversion of polyethylene (PE) wastes. However, a drawback of this technology is that a mixture of dicarboxylic acids of various...
