Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the characterization of polymers, providing unparalleled insights into molecular weights, chemical compositions, and sequence distributions.

During pyrolysis, the plastic polymers are broken down into smaller molecules, resulting in the production of liquid oil, fuel source gases such as methane, propane and butane, and char. Char is the ...

Ineos Olefins & Polymers Europe has received its first deliveries of pyrolysis oil at its cracker in Lavera in southern France. This innovative feedstock, made from recycled plastic waste, will be ...
