• Recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) – A review focusing on chemical methods (2016, background): “[132] only studied the surface morphology of PET treated with cutinase and did not make a qualitative or quantitative statement of possible reaction products.”
• Characterization of a new cutinase from Thermobifida alba for PET-surface hydrolysis (2012, background): “2006), leading to a superfi cial crystallinity increase (Donelli et al. 2010).”
• A New Esterase from Thermobifida halotolerans Hydrolyses Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polylactic Acid (PLA) (2012, background): “Poly(alkyleneterephthalates) (PAT), and particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are one of the most widely used synthetic polymers worldwide [24] which can be functionalized via limited enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bond of the polymer backbone [25–29].”
