Precipitation of Polypropylene and Polyethylene Terephthalate Powders Using Green Solvents via Temperature and Antisolvent-Induced Phase Separation
Polymer dissolution and precipitation are two common processes for the production of polymer powders, especially for cases where usual means of comminution are not applicable. I investigated six dissolution–precipitation processes based on high-boiling sustainable green organic solvents and antisolv...

| description | Polymer dissolution and precipitation are two common processes for the production of polymer powders, especially for cases where usual means of comminution are not applicable. I investigated six dissolution–precipitation processes based on high-boiling sustainable green organic solvents and antisolvents for the polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate with respect to apparent particle morphology for a closed loop production scheme. Of the investigated processes two are considered antisolvent-induced precipitations whereas the other four can be considered temperature induced. The applied solvents included p-cymene, dibutoxymethane, ethylbenzoate, γ-valerolactone, ethanol, and hexanol. All processes yielded powders consisting of agglomerated primary particles at a powder dry substance of less than 25% by weight. The produced powders consist in all cases of agglomerates of smaller primary particles. |
