Fossil resources are rapidly depleting, forcing researchers in various fields of chemistry and
materials science to switch to the use of renewable sources and the development of …

Elastomers play an irreplaceable role in our society due to their unique properties. Natural
rubber is directly obtained from plants and is widely used in tires, shoes, etc. Recently …

Limited petroleum sources, suitable law regulations, and higher awareness within society
has caused sustainable development of manufacturing and recycling of polymer blends and …

The negative environmental effects of conventional polymeric materials have intensified the
research toward the production of biobased counterparts. Vanillic acid (VA), a vanillin …

Polyesters based on 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (2, 5-FDCA) have attracted attention from
both academia and industry as a new class of biobased polymers for the growing era of …

Considering the current trend of finding sustainable alternatives to the existing fossil-based
plastics, in this review we describe what makes a bioelastomer “bio” and what this implies in …

The macroscopic properties of materials are governed by their microscopic structure which
depends on the materials' composition (ie, building blocks) and processing conditions. In …

In this work, new bio-based copoly (ester amide) s were synthesized by a two-step melt
polycondensation process, using 2, 5-furanedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester (DMFDC), 1, 3 …

In the present study, a fully plant-based sustainable copolyester series, namely poly
(butylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate)-block-poly (caprolactone) s (PBF-block-PCL) s were …

Problems related to non-biodegradable waste coming from vulcanized rubber represent one
of the pre-eminent challenges for modern society. End-of-life tyres are an important source …
