Scientists invented instant plastic. Getting under the sun's rays, its molecules break up, transforming into harmless to the nature of the liquid.
Scientists from the Institute of North Dakota (NDSU) developed a technology for recycling plastic waste. They created the technology for the production of polymeric materials that can decompose under the action of sunlight.
Saravanakumar Rajendran with co-workers took as a basis fructose and special molecules that absorb light. When heated, the components are arranged in a long polymer strands forming strong plastic. But is this plastic to be subject to direct sunlight, as the threads disintegrate. In just 3 hours plastic is converted into bespredel environmental fluid.
Even despite their own benefit in preserving the environment comparing with the simple plastic, which can be dissolved for centuries, releasing poisonous drugs into the soil, innovations are certain disadvantages as well. For example, a little like a package that will melt in the sun. Therefore, the only sensible use of the new plastic contained in the application of it inside electrical appliances and other places where misses solar radiation, informs "News.ru". At the moment scientists learn the auxiliary features of the newest plastic, in order to understand its competitiveness.
Earlier Days.Ru wrote, as a scientist managed to create a super-durable plastic. Scientists from South Korea have achieved unimaginable success in the study of polymers. They created plastic high performance, calling it "policeman". It can be used in the automotive industry and the production of synthetic fibers.
Research was conducted by the South Korean group of companies Hyosung Group. The polymer, which is called "material dreams", has a high stability to chemicals and solvents. Besides all this, he also can keep the boiling oil at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. According to adherents of the firm, fresh material may be used as a replacement nylon.
