Our other latest article has just been published in ACS Omega. Although widely used polymers, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are easily recyclable, complex engineering polymer blends used in the automotive sector involve recycling challenges at the end of life. Together with my colleagues, Prof. Dr. Guralp Ozkoc, Prof. Dr. Olcay Mert, and Instructor Rumeysa Yıldırım, we explored the alterations in the properties of compatibilized and thermoplastic elastomer toughened polyamide 6 under multiple thermomechanical recycling conditions, especially for the automotive industry in underhood applications.
