Abstract:Polyamide 11 (PA11) is a polymer used in flexible lines for oil prospection due to its properties. After the decommissioning of the lines, the materials used are discarded in landfills or left in the ocean. As developing a sustainable economy is of utmost importance, reusing these discarded materials would be a step in the right direction. This research focused on examining two kinds of PA11 previously used in flexible lines to see their properties changed compared to virgin PA11 and to infer if they can still… Show more
