“…There has been much work done in the area of catalyzed thermal degradation of polyethylenes [23,24,25,26,27]. Most thermal degradation reactions of polyethylene utilize catalysts in an attempt to lower the temperature or increase the rate of reaction [28,29]. In most cases zeolites or amorphous silica-alumina catalyst have been found to be the most effective for the thermal degradation of polyethylene [30,31,32,33,34].…”
