    Abstract: Provided is a process for depolymerization of a poly(C2-C4 alkylene terephthalate), which comprises contacting a poly(C2-C4 alkylene terephthalate) with methanol and a catalyst chosen from potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, magnesium methoxide, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, and triazabicyclodecene, at a temperature sufficient to effect said depolymerization. The process of the invention can be carried out a substantially lower temperature and requires less methanol than necessary for zinc acetate-catalyzed reactions, and is sufficiently robust to tolerate lower-quality poly(C2-C4 alkylene terephthalate) scrap feeds.

    Abstract: Cellulose ester compositions for expanded foam applications are provided. Specifically, production of melt processed cellulose esters has historically been limited to standard extrusion, molding and solvent casting methods. A combination of cellulose ester formulation and selected blowing agents have been found to produce articles of good density and good dimensional stability for an expanded foam process using conventional polystyrene processing equipment.
