UD engineers are the lead inventors on a new patent for making piezoelectric devices, such as sensors and actuators, using Nodax, a biodegradable, bio-based polymer. Every year, more than 400 million ...

Researchers at Rice University, working with partners at Chungnam National University in South Korea, have developed a bio-based polymer that strips more than 98% of PFAS contamination from water in ...

The global bio-based polymers market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% between 2022 and 2027. It currently represents a small fraction of the total production volume ...

The global Polylactic Acid Market is expected to witness robust growth as industries increasingly adopt biodegradable and bio ...

5-HMF can enable the gradual replacement of specific petroleum-derived molecules.

Is there such a thing as a fully sustainable gas pipeline? French utility network operator GRDF and petrochemicals giant INEOS certainly seem to think so. Both companies have come together to announce ...

While renewables are all the rage in many applications — or so it seems — bio-based polymers typically are not under material selection consideration for medical devices. One exception to the rule is ...

The research group of Professor Kotohiro Nomura, Tokyo Metropolitan University, in cooperation with the research groups of Senior Researcher Hiroshi Hirano and Director Seiji Higashi of the Osaka ...

Avantium, the Dutch firm pioneering a process to make polyethylene furanoate (PEF)—a biobased alternative to the beverage-bottle polymer polyethylene terephthalate—is taking a series of measures in a ...

Enzymatic polymer synthesis harnesses specialised enzymes, most commonly lipases, to catalyse the formation of polymer chains from monomers derived from renewable biomass. Unlike traditional ...

“It is extremely important that the construction sector continues to develop innovative ways to combat climate change. Renewable solutions such as renewable Neste RE feedstock for polymers can play a ...

Biobased polymers are macromolecular materials whose monomeric units originate from renewable biological feedstocks such as sugars, lignocellulosic residues and carbon dioxide derivatives. Synthesis ...
