    1.1.1 Mechanism

    The industrial polymers concerned are mainly :

    • polymers containing the ester group, whether linear polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycaprolactone or bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC), polyurethanes – polyesters or three-dimensional polyesters such as styrene-crosslinked unsaturated polyesters or anhydride-crosslinked epoxies;

    • polyamides, for example PA6, PA66 or PA11. Other polymers,...
