Abstract
Identification of black plastics poses a significant challenge in recycling due to the absorptive nature of carbon black additives. This work introduces a method where hyperspectral imaging in the long-wave infrared regime is used to distinguish between twelve samples of commercially available black plastics encompassing nine distinct polymer types. The spectral scanner comprises a scanning Fabry-Pérot interferometer and a thermal camera based on an uncooled microbolometer detector sensitive to wavelengths from 8 μm to 15 μm. A principal component model is combined with k-nearest neighbors to differentiate between plastic samples in hyperspectral images. The model successfully classifies five (PET, POM, PMMA, PA6, and PA66) out of nine black polymers, and the overall accuracy of the model is %.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Testing focuses on the testing, analysis and characterization of polymer materials, including both synthetic and natural or biobased polymers. Novel testing methods and the testing of novel polymeric materials in bulk, solution and dispersion is covered. In addition, we welcome the submission of the testing of polymeric materials for a wide range of applications and industrial products as well as nanoscale characterization.
The scope includes but is not limited to the following main topics:
Novel testing methods and Chemical analysis
• mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, imaging, spectroscopy, scattering and rheology
Physical properties and behaviour of novel polymer systems
• nanoscale properties, morphology, transport properties
Degradation and recycling of polymeric materials when combined with novel testing or characterization methods
• degradation, biodegradation, ageing and fire retardancy
Modelling and Simulation work will be only considered when it is linked to new or previously published experimental results.
