Features: The author, Dr. John Shais from Australia, is a senior expert in the fields of polymer recycling, degradation, and analysis. Using numerous industrial production examples, the book outlines the new technologies in polymer recycling over the past decade; lists the efficient production equipment for polymer recycling in developed countries in Europe and America; elaborates in detail on the recycling and utilization technologies of various common thermoplastic polymer products; and discusses the latest advancements in the comprehensive utilization of waste tires. Starting from the fundamental principles of polymer materials, the book focuses on the comprehensive utilization technologies, tools, and processes of recycled polymers, and introduces on-site recycling and utilization equipment, production line processes, and practical application technologies of several companies in Europe and America, with special emphasis on the quality control of recycled polymers. This book serves as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in processing and application research, as well as for faculty and students in polymer materials science and engineering programs. It is also available for professionals in the resource recovery, environmental protection, especially the circular economy of solid waste, and for government departments involved in formulating regulations and industrial policies.
