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 …

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 …

The production of amines from biomass is a growing field of interest. Particularly the
amination of bio-based alcohols receives a lot of attention. In this review, we discuss recent …

Polyamides represent a very important class of polymers for a wide range of applications.
After establishing in the 1930s with Nylon and Perlon, their impact on many branches has …

Polysaccharides are ubiquitous in nature, and play many critical roles in biology. As such,
the synthesis of polysaccharides and of polymers mimicking the structure or function of …

Minor comonomer units can be included as defects in crystalline phase during the
crystallization of isodimorphic copolyamides, further changing their interchain packing …

Structural characterization of a series of novel bio-polyamides based on renewable raw
materials—PA 4.10, PA 6.10, PA 10.10, and PA 10.12—was performed by Fourier transform …

In this work, we address the synthesis of novel aromatic–aliphatic biobased polyesters
showing thermotropic behavior in the melt. Successful incorporation of different biobased …

A class of bio-based aliphatic polyamides (BDIS) was synthesized by melting
copolycondensation from four biomass monomers: originated (SA), itaconic acid (IA), 1, 10 …

To develop colorless and soluble polyimide films, a novel dianhydride containing 1, 4: 3, 6-
dianhydro-D-mannitol unit, 2, 5-bis (3, 4-dicarboxyphenoxy)-1, 4: 3, 6-dianhydromannitol …
