This appraisal provides an up-to-date overview of the existent renewable, biomass-derived,
and more sustainable alternatives to conventional oil-based plastics, namely, high-market …

Conversion of plastic wastes to fatty acids is an attractive means to supplement the sourcing
of these high-value, high-volume chemicals. We report a method for transforming …

A progressively increasing concern about the environmental impacts of the whole polymer
industry has boosted the design of less aggressive technologies that allow for the maximum …

Polyethylene (PE) is the most widely produced synthetic polymer. By installing chemically
cleavable bonds into the backbone of PE, it is possible to produce chemically …

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used commercial plastic due to its excellent
mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and water vapor barrier properties. However …

As society moves towards a net-zero future, the need to adopt more sustainable polymers is
well understood, and as well as plastics, less visible formulation polymers should also be …

One of the challenges of developing bioderived polymers is to obtain materials with
competitive properties. This study investigates the structure-properties relationships of …

Aliphatic polyesters are intrinsically enzymatic-biodegradable, and there is ever-increasing
demand for safe and smart next-generation biomaterials including drug delivery nano …

Synthesis of high molecular weight polyesters prepared by acyclic diene metathesis
(ADMET) polymerization of bis (undec-10-enoate) with isosorbide (M1), isomannide (M2) …
