chemical compound
A molecule of low molecular weight capable of chemically reacting to another molecule of the same type to form a larger molecule, such as dimer, trimer, tetramer, polymer, etc...
A polymer comprised, at least in part, of building blocks called monomers, produced from renewable feedstocks such as corn. An alternate definition for biopolymer, includes all biologically produced...
Controlling pests that damage crops and plants is necessary both to safeguard food security and to ensure viable income to farmers for their production. This needs to be done while...
The world production of marine macroalgae, or seaweed, has more than tripled since the turn of the millennium, increasing from 10.6 million tonnes in 2000 to 32.4 million tonnes in 2018. Increased...
This catalyst supports the world net-zero carbon initiative by using carbon dioxide (CO 2) as a feedstock for efficient ethylene production powered by electricity.
Researchers wanted to see if “seasoning” a biodegradable bioplastic called poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with fruit-derived tartaric acid or citric acid could improve the plastic’s mechanical...
In 2014, Linger presented a tandem process for lignin valorization by integrating chemical and biological catalysis. Chemical pretreatment of corn stover generated mixed lignocellulose-derived monomers that were...
The Commission adopted a recommendation to promote research and innovation for safer and more sustainable chemicals and materials. The proposed European framework is an important step to increase the protection of human health...
Airlines hope to become carbon neutral by 2050.
