  • What role does Germany play in polymer production?
  • The German chemical industry contributes approximately one-third of polymer production in the EU. It is embedded in the EU regulatory and research landscape and anchored in the European Green Deal, which aims for carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • Are plasticizers a problem in Germany?
  • We found an increasing number of substitutes in the German part of the three major European rivers Rhine, Danube and Elbe, as well as other waters in Germany. As a result, the total burden of plasticizers in the aquatic environment has hardly changed since 2005.
  • Does polycarboxylate superplasticizer disperse in cement pastes prepared with deionized water and seawater?
  • Comparative study on the dispersing performances of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) in cement pastes prepared with deionized water and seawater was conducted by involving techniques of fluidity tests, measurement of adsorption amount of PCE, isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and specific surface area analysis etc.
  • Can German plastic manufacturers follow EU policies?
  • German plastic manufacturers have attempted to follow this plan. Germany is an important member of the European Union, and such goals are embedded in EU policies and integrated into the policies of the European chemical industry, which is represented by its umbrella organization, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC).
  • What causes plasticiser migration in biopolymers?
  • Studies have shown that the migration behaviour of plasticiser in biopolymers is often complex. This is caused by: (i) cold crystallisation during service/ageing, (ii) phase separation between the plasticiser and the polymer, and (iii) hydrolysis and interactions with water.
  • Do plasticisers migrate from polymers to a gas phase?
  • This paper addresses the kinetics and predictions of plasticiser migration from polymers to a surrounding gas phase, an important issue for plastic and rubber products exposed to high service temperature conditions and during accelerated ageing and testing.
