    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for recovering plastic material(s) from a post-consumer disposable absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, a hot melt adhesive composition H, wherein at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet comprises at least one plastic material,
    wherein the hot melt adhesive composition H comprises:
    ∘ at least one polymer P selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, thermoplastic block copolymers of a vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene compound, and mixtures thereof;
    ∘ at least one tackifier T comprising at least one ester group or carboxylic acid group;

    the method being characterized in that it comprises:
    - a step i) of providing a post-consumer disposable absorbent article,
    - a step ii) of immersing the post-consumer disposable absorbent article in an alkaline aqueous solution in conditions sufficient to obtain debonding of plastic material(s),
    - a step iii) of separation and recovering of plastic material(s) from the medium.

    摘要: An apparatus for plasma treatment of an implant prior to installing the implant in a live subject is provided. The apparatus comprises an activation device and a portable container detachable from the activation device. The portable container comprises a closed compartment containing the implant immersed in a fluid, and the activation device comprises a slot configured to receive the portable container. The activation device further comprises an electrical circuit configured to be electrically associated with at least one electrode and configured to provide to the at least one electrode electric power suitable for applying a plasma generating electric field in the closed compartment, when the portable container is disposed in the slot. A container suitable for providing plasma treatment to a silicone implant and a method for preparing an implant for implantation surgery are also provided.
