Thermal depolymerisation of scrap polymers
Methods for recovering high purity monomer from scrap polymer are discussed, with particular reference to poly-methyl-methacrylate (commonly known as acrylic, Perspex™, Lucite™).

The kinetics of chitosan depolymerisation at different temperatures [PDF]
The stability (in terms of molar mass) of chitosan potentially plays an important role in its behaviour and functional properties in a wide range of applications and therefore any changes over time must be understood.

Pretreatment of chitin depolymerization by expansin-like protein to improve hydrolysis efficiency [PDF]
Chitin is a polysaccharide similar to cellulose that contains abundant hydrogen bonds. Expansin-like proteins disrupt hydrogen bond networks, causing cellulose to swell and accelerating its degradation.

TiN‐Cu Heterogeneous Nanocatalysts for Effective Depolymerisation of Oxidised Lignin
Lignin is one of the important resource for production of aromatics from lignocellulosic biomass. Effective depolymerisation of lignin is dependent on improvement of successful strategies for production of lower blocks of chemicals from lignin. Herein, a

Lucky 13-microtubule depolymerisation by kinesin-13 motors [PDF]
The kinesin-13 class of motors catalyses microtubule depolymerisation by bending tubulins at microtubule ends. Depolymerisation activity is intrinsic to the kinesin-13 motor core but the activity of the core alone is very low compared with that of ...

Innovative vanillin yielding from lignin: process modelling and assessment [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 3 approved with reservations] [PDF]
In this work, we present the modelling of a novel process to promote vanillin production from lignin using PODIC®. The model includes the PODIC® production, lignin depolymerisation, and final product separation.
