Cork material can be compounded with three families of polymers: prime (PP, PE, TPU), recycled (PP & PE), and even bio-based ...

Institute, spans 434 pages and covers 17 bio-based building blocks and all commercially available bio-based polymers. It includes comprehensive information on capacity development from 2018 to 2029, ...

To tackle the growing pollution crisis, scientists at RIKEN in Japan have developed a new type of plastic that remains stable ...

Plastics are durable and strong, which is great while they’re being used but frustrating when they end up in the environment.

Plastics smaller than that are considered nanoplastics, which are measured in billionths of a meter. Polymers are chemical ...

About 98% of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to ...

and amine compounds. When appropriate, examples will be provided that relate to those typical polymerization reactions (e.g. free-radical or ionic) employed to manufacture commercial polymer materials ...

Bhagya Nallaperuma, a specialist in the Department of Environmental Health and Safety, has co-authored a review on natural ...

Around 98 per cent of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to extracting high-value molecules from this waste using a green chemistry ...

Radical polymers consist of a repeating polymer sub-unit backbone with side group ‘pendant’ organic radicals - compounds with an unpaired electron, but stabilized by their shape. These side ...
