Domain-Adapted Discovery of PET Depolymerisation Routes Using In-house Curated Scientific Literature and Experimental Validation

Abstract

Curated chemical literature combined with a domain-adapted language model is shown to generate experimentally feasible PET depolymerisation pathways. This work establishes a practical dataguided approach for evaluating and discovering viable routes in plastic waste management.
