Chemical depolymerization of recycled PET to oxadiazole and hydrazone derivatives: Synthesis, characterization, molecular docking and DFT study

The extensive use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based packaging materials has increased the desire to focus on their recycling. In this study, a chemical depolymerization method is proposed for synthesizing terephthalic dihydrazide (TDH) via the aminolysis of post-consumed PET. TDH is further...
