Decoupling Formulation and Processing Effects in Thermoplastic Starch Through a Data‐Driven Structure–Property Framework

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Processing‐property relationships in thermoplastic starch (TPS): plasticizer type, starch source and melt‐processing temperature establish a hierarchy of effects that governs process‐induced changes and the resulting TPS properties. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a melt‐processable biopolymer whose properties depend strongly on formulation and ...

Tuning Degradation of Polylactic Acid via Size‐Controlled Silica Nanoparticles

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Particle size emerges as a simple handle to program polymer degradation. By tailoring the size of silica nanoparticles, the degradation behavior of polylactide composites can be directed towards accelerated hydrolysis or enhanced composting‐induced disintegration without changing the polymer chemistry.

Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols

Polymer International, EarlyView.
We present the synthesis of four biosourced unsaturated polyesters made from chiral terpene‐based diols and esters of renewable diacids. The resulting materials harbor a bicyclic pinene ring in their backbones which leads to enhanced thermal properties while still conferring susceptibility to enzyme hydrolysis for chains having a cis alkene.
