The widespread adoption of plastics has led to substantial production and waste generation, raising environmental concerns. Chemical recycling offers a promising solution enhance rates, with microwave heating emerging as an attractive technology for polymer breakdown. This paper investigates the dielectric properties various polymers their temperature dependencies, providing insight into effectiveness heating. Results indicate that while may show low loss at room temperature, those polar segments exhibit increasing high temperatures, indicating additional susceptors not always necessary effective Three key transitions are identified respect significant impact on elevated temperatures: glass transition decomposition point where dispersion/displacement peak exceeds measurement frequency. Additionally, this introduces new approach utilising selective, multistage mixed plastics.
