Bioplastics—typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers—stand to contribute to
more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin …

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 …

This review sheds light on urgent questions that arise from the need to replace a polymer
resin,–poly (ethylene terephthalate), which represents 7.7% market-share in the global …

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a promising approach to accessing well-defined
polyesters with superior (bio) degradability and recyclability. However, the living/controlled …

Poly (glycolic acid)(PGA) holds unique properties, including high gas barrier properties, high
tensile strength, high resistance to common organic solvents, high heat distortion …

Abstract Biomass-based poly (trimethylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate)(PTF) was synthesized
by the simple and low-cost direct esterification method. The high number-average molecular …

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 …

Related to the wide scatter of information in the literature, recently the bulk enthalpy of
melting of α-crystals of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) has been re-determined by correlating the …

The present work provides unambiguous evidence that annealing peaks in differential
scanning calorimetry heating experiments of semicrystalline polymers are caused by …

Highly promising fully biobased random copolyesters, poly (trimethylene 2, 5-
furandicarboxylate-co-trimethylene sebacate)(PTFcoPTSeb), were synthesized by using bio …
