The development of sustainable and environmentally friendly polymer materials is among
the most pressing contemporary challenges for polymer science and engineering. Bio …

Polymeric materials play a key role in modern industry. Owing to outstanding and very
versatile properties of polymers, they have rather quickly occupied the great niche of …

Plastics, with their ubiquitous presence in our daily lives and environment, pose an
uncomfortable conundrum. Producers and consumers are aware of the value of these …

It is likely that a half-century ago even enthusiastic and optimistic proponents of the synthetic
polymer industry (Mr. McGuire included) could not have predicted the massive scale on …

Considering the state of affairs related to polymers and their applications, the plastic-
dependence of the modern society is evident and becomes now needless to mention …

The low biodegradability of petroleum-based polymers and the exhaustible nature of the oil
reserves have intensified interest in natural renewing resources for the chemical synthesis of …

Poly (alkylene dicarboxylate) s constitute a family of biodegradable polymers with increasing
interest for both commodity and speciality applications. Most of these polymers can be …

2, 5-Bis (hydroxymethyl) furan is a highly valuable biobased rigid diol resembling aromatic
monomers in polyester synthesis. In this work, it was enzymatically polymerized with various …

In this paper, three bio-based unsaturated polyesters were synthesized from itaconic acid
and different diols which could be derived from renewable resources. Their chemical …

An eco-friendly approach towards furanic–aliphatic polyesters as sustainable alternatives to
aromatic–aliphatic polyesters is presented. In this approach, biobased dimethyl 2, 5 …
