Abstract:Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a semi‐crystalline polymer that finds broad use. Consequently, it contributes to the accumulation of plastics in the environment, warranting PET recycling technologies. Ball milling is a commonly used technique for the micronization of plastics before transformation. It has also recently been reported as an efficient mixing strategy for the enzymatic hydrolysis of plastics in moist‐solid mixtures. However, the effect of milling on the microstructure of PET has not been syste… Show more
