Extended Data Fig. 2: Characterization of the wicked PP melt.
From: Depolymerization of plastics by means of electrified spatiotemporal heating

a, Schematic showing the position of the cross-sections cut from the reactor layer after STH operation for about 6 min (0.11 s power on at about 22 V, 0.99 s power off; small-scale reaction system). b–d, Representative optical microscopy images showing the wicking of PP in the reactor layer. The images correspond to the cross-sections shown in a. The white species are wicked plastic melt. The black objects are the cut pieces of the porous reactor layer with cross-sections facing out.
