  - JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION - Year 2024

  Polymer waste pollution has a profound effect on the environment and, consequently, on the lifestyle of hu- mankind. The massive production and disposal of cross-linked polymers clearly exemplify the challenges of recycling. Increasing efforts are being undertaken to introduce recycled polymers, especially crumb rubber (CR), into asphalt formulations. Due to the rather poor processability and phase separation associated with CR- modified...

  - MACROMOLECULES - Year 2024

  Randomly functionalized polyolefins produced by catalysis have received increasing attention owing to their welldefined molecular structures, uniform distribution, and variety in types of functionalities. Herein, we investigate the scalability of the production of hydroxyl-functionalized propylene copolymers via a high temperature solution polymerization process using aluminum trialkyls as passivating agents. Initially, we evaluated...
