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

The impact of plastics on the environment can be mitigated by employing biobased and/or
biodegradable materials (ie, bioplastics) instead of the traditional “commodities”. In this …

Poly (butylene succinate) is one of the emerging bio-degradable polymers, which has huge
potential to be employed in a wide range of applications. Furthermore, it is also recognized …

In this article, we synthesize five poly (n-alkylene succinate) s, P n ASs, with n= 2, 4, 6, 8,
and 10 via multi-step polycondensation methods. Next, we comparatively investigate these …

In the polyester family, the biopolymer with the greatest industrial potential could be poly (3-
hydroxybutyrate)(PHB), which can be produced nowadays biologically or chemically. The …

Biodegradation of polyesters driven by enzymes is considered as one of the most effective
way of degradation of these materials, as a way to control plastics accumulation in the …

In this work, we synthesized and investigated five linear and–OH terminated poly (ε-
caprolactone) s, PCL, prepared by ring opening polymerization. The samples cover the …

In this work, poly (hexamethylene-ran-octamethylene carbonate) copolycarbonates were
synthesized by melt polycondensation in a wide range of compositions. The copolymers …

Random copolymerization is used to prepare new polymeric materials that combine the
desirable properties of different homopolymers. The covalent bonds between the …

Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) is a thermal fractionation technique that is
performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The combination of non-isothermal …
