• Poly (ethylene terephthalate) recycling for high value added textiles (2014, background): “polymer chain scission, the PET polymer can be broken down into either its monomers or its oligomers and other chemicals (Chen et al. 2001b; Kosmidis et al. 2001; Yamaye et al. 2002; Goje and Mishra 2003; Kao et al. 1998; Carta et al. 2003).”
• Methods of Recycling, Properties and Applications of Recycled Thermoplastic Polymers (2017, methodology): “Chemical recycling of PET by glycolysis involves ethylene glycol insertion into PET chains to give bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), which is a substrate for PET synthesis and other oligomers [41,48,49].”
