This study includes the synthesis of a new natural plasticizer obtained through esterification reaction of rice fatty acid and polyols, its physicochemical characterization and its preliminary ...

ABSTRACT: The molecular recyclability of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and three semi-aromatic polyesters poly (phloretic acid) (poly-H), poly (dihydroferulic acid) (poly-G), and poly ...

Amsterdam researchers have made a major leap forward in the production of biobased polyesters. The breakthrough could ultimately pave the way for commercial bioplastics. Bioplastics offer a promising ...

Researchers take an important step towards the production of fully biobased, rigid polyesters. They present a simple, yet innovative, synthesis strategy to overcome the inherently low reactivity of ...

Synthetic macromolecules that mimic glycolipids, named Janus glycodendrimers (JGDs), have been shown to self-assemble into nanoscale vesicles displaying glycans on their outer surface, similar to the ...

That was the cry of amateur standup comedian Al Rosenberg in September 1981, pretending to be eccentric inventor Earl C. Watkins (not a real person), leader of the “Save the Nauga” campaign. Watkins ...

Introduction: Poly(glycerol sebacate) [PGS], a biopolymer, has shown some promising potentials as an implant in human body due to its predictable biodegradable properties [1],[2]. However, the ...
