Driven by the need for more sustainable materials in the laminate industry, poly(glycerol citrate) was introduced as a bio‐based modifier that significantly altered the cure kinetics and structural evolution of melamine–formaldehyde resins. Correlated FTIR, DSC, TGA, and rheological analyses revealed accelerated network formation, enabling lower ...

Macro‐ and Micromechanical Deformations and Failure of Recycled PET/Flax Polyester Biocomposites
Macro‐ and Micromechanical Deformations and Failure of Recycled PET/Flax Polyester Biocomposites. ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability has become a global priority aimed at reducing waste generation and dependence on fossil resources. This study reports on the development of sustainable biocomposites by combining flax woven fabrics (2, 4, and 6 plies)

Synthesis and Polymerization of a Lactone Building Block Derived From Cashew Nut Shells
Cardanol as a renewable substituted phenol feedstock was selectively transformed into the corresponding cyclohexanone derivative by means of a partial metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation. Subsequent conversion via Baeyer–Villiger oxidation gave a lactone product consisting of a mixture of regioisomers, which has been readily converted into its homopolymer ...

A green approach to esterify wheat starch by reactive extrusion using a novel deep eutectic solvent has been developed. The DES acted both as a starch solvent and as an activating agent to complete the esterification within 15–30 min. This novel approach opens new opportunities for the development and upscaling of biobased polymers with promising ...
