Abstract
Since the discovery of two-dimensional hexagonal allotropic modification of carbon–graphene, carbon materials and their derivatives have attracted increasing attention from researchers around the world because of their unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. The structure and properties of such nanomaterials are of interest for many practical applications, such as in the electronics, construction, and space industries. However, in recent years, the problem of recycling plastic waste has become increasingly severe. The accumulation of such waste in some regions of the world is an environmental disaster. This paper presents the results of the study on carbon powders obtained from the plastic wastes of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) by pyrolysis, thermal annealing, and subsequent microwave exposure. This work proposes a technique for heat treatment and subsequent microwave exposure that makes it possible to obtain turbostratic graphene. The microwave exposure affected the structure of the PET samples and increased the electrical conductivity of the materials obtained from PP waste.
