“…They not only offer the promise of superior mechanical properties and reduced weight, but also provide a real world solution for improving recyclability. Different thermoplastic polymers, including polyethylene (PE) [1,2], polypropylene (PP) [3,4], polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [5,6], polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) [7,8], polylactic acid (PLA) [9,10], polyamide (PA) [11,12], polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) [13] and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) [14], were exploited to manufacture SPCs. Another advantage of SPCs is the missing dispersion step in their production contrasting the common polymer nanocomposites, so the new members of SPC family, the micro-and nanofibrillar SPCs, were developed [15].…”
