University of Tokyo synthetic carbon-based plastics

Tokyo University Institute recently issued a statement that its School of Engineering, the research team successfully synthesized a new type of carbon dioxide as a raw material of plastic . The plastic in carbon dioxide levels higher proportion of carbon dioxide is expected to improve efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to contribute.Wholesale masking tape

University of Tokyo researchers said they carbon dioxide and butadiene as raw material , the use of a palladium catalyst for radical polymerization , the synthesis of a new type of plastic . The plastic in powder form , may extend into the molten transparent sheet material , even if the combustion does not produce nitrogen oxides. . Proportion of the plastic content of up to 29% carbon dioxide , even at high temperature is hardly deformed , up to the decomposition temperature of 340 ℃, can be melted and injection molding.Masking tape


The research team believes that this new type of plastic high hardness , it can be used in the manufacture of plastic containers, films and so on. In the future by expanding production and improved production processes, is expected to make this plastic cheaper , there may utilize carbon dioxide produced by coal-fired power stations and other manufacturers such as plastic, to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions .Washi tape


Carbon dioxide is a lot of resources to be able to get cheap . While researchers have previously synthesized carbon dioxide as a raw material of plastic , but the proportion in which low levels of carbon dioxide . These plastics also produce toxic combustion gases of nitrogen oxides , and their heat resistance is not strong , the conditions at near room temperature hardness of great changes .Sellotape
