Abstract
A method is provided for decomposition of a polymeric article, wherein the polymeric article contains a polymer and one or more energy modulation agents, by applying an applied energy to the polymeric article, wherein the one or more energy modulation agents convert the applied energy into an emitted energy sufficient to cause bond destruction within the polymer.
Claims8
A method for depolymerization of a polymeric article, wherein the polymeric article comprises a polymer and one or more energy modulation agents, comprising:
- applying an applied energy to the polymeric article, wherein the one or more energy modulation agents convert the applied energy into an emitted energy sufficient to cause depolymerization of the polymer, wherein the applied energy is x-rays, gamma rays, or electron beam and the emitted energy is UV.
