Preparation and properties of green crosslinked styrene butadiene rubber with poly (Malic Acid)

Bio-Based and Biodegradable PVC Plasticizer Synthesized from CO2 and Castor Oil with Superior Migration Resistance

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), a versatile plastic, requires substantial amounts of plasticizers to enhance its processability and flexibility. However, most commercial plasticizers are low-molecular-weight petrochemical derivatives that suffer from poor migration resistance and raise environmental and health concerns d...

Fabrication and Characterization of Carboxylated Lignin Sulfonate Modified Epoxidized Soybean Oil Wood Adhesive Cured by Maleic Anhydride

In this work, a formaldehyde-free bio-based wood adhesive was successfully fabricated using epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) cross-linked with maleic anhydride (MA) and carboxylated lignin sulfonate (CLS). The effect of CLS substitution dosage on the bonding performance was systematically investigated. The results indicate...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Eleven Novel Renewable Plasticizers for Polylactic Acid (PLA): Linking Molecular Structure to Performance

The development of bio-based plasticizers is increasingly important due to regulatory restrictions on several phthalates, growing concerns over plasticizer migration and toxicity, and the demand for renewable materials. In this work, eleven novel furfural-derived bio-based plasticizers were synthesized and evaluated in...

Synergistic toughening and reinforcement of PLA by PPCU and bamboo charcoal.

Polylactic acid (PLA), owing to its high strength, excellent processability, abundant renewable feedstocks, and biodegradability, has emerged as a highly promising candidate in the field of bio-based polymer materials. However, its inherent brittleness significantly limits its applicability in broader engineering scena...

Synthesis and characterization of PVA-co-acrylic acid incorporating magnesium nanoparticles and their application in sweetening of natural gas.

The Synthesis of Superabsorbent Hydrogels Containing Naturally Derived Components and Their Use for the Environmental Cleanup of Dye Pollutants

The utilization of naturally derived sustainable components is an increasing trend in polymer and materials science and technology. This paper reports on the synthesis of superabsorbent hydrogels (SAHs) containing acrylic acid (AA), styrene (St, 10 wt.% of AA) and poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate) (PEGDA) using one-pot...
