Tereftalato de polietileno de desecho (PET), su modificación mediante radiación gamma y sus diversos usos
Keywords:
Polyethylene terephthalate waste, gamma radiation, waste management, physicochemical properties
Abstract
The volume of plastic waste continues to increase each year, along with its accumulation and detrimental impact on the environment. As a result, several recycling processes have been developed to address the issue. However, the limitations of current methods highlight the urgent need to explore and adopt alternative solutions. One such promising approach is the use of gamma radiation. In recent years, gamma radiation has gained relevance due to its ability to modify and improve the physical and chemical properties of materials. For this reason, this article describes several investigations focused on the application of gamma radiation for the modification and reuse of PET waste.
