Recycled pants based on old tires: The new product line of the outdoor apparel company VAUDE which will be available in stores from March 2022, does not only stands out due to its timeless design, robust material and simple reparability – the pants are also sustainable, as chemically recycled scrap more
A research team from the Fraunhofer Society and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) led by chemist Volker Sieber has developed a new polyamide family which can be produced from a byproduct of cellulose production – a successful example for a more sustainable economy with bio-based materials. Po more
Chinese researchers under the direction of Profs. LI Xianfeng and ZHANG Huamin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed an ultrathin ion-conducting membrane with high selectivity and conductivity that can boost the power of flow batte more
A new application notebook contains many examples for GPC/SEC analysis for a broad range of polymers more
Moisture control is an important aspect for the production of high quality plastic parts more
A number of chemical materials are used in the manufacture of the Brazuca, the World Cup football. The majority of these materials are polymers; these are very long molecules built up from many smaller component molecules. A simple, everyday example is polyethene, used to make some plastic bags. Dif more
This year’s European Championships are now well under way in France, and there’s already been some great football on show. It might surprise you to learn that some chemistry has also been taking centre-stage! The EURO 2016 ball is a triumph of materials science, and in this post we take a look at so more
Plastic is everywhere in our day to day lives – but, of course, ‘plastic’ is just a catch-all term for a range of different chemical substances. This graphic takes a look at some of the more common plastics we encounter on a regular basis, and examines their chemical structures. Below, we’ll also ta more
A sustainable lactam, which is derived from the renewable terpene β-pinene, is converted to polyamides via a convenient anionic ring-opening polymerization (ROP), which can be easily handled without the use of a costly catalyst. The resulting polyamides have prosperous thermal properties, which enab more
The crystalline packing of polymers with high tendencies to form amorphous materials has been attained by controlling intermolecular interactions. Block copolymers of aromatic polyamides in which hydrogen‐bonding moieties are sparing and mostly substituted easily form amorphous materials because o more
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the synthesis of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)‐based copolyamides. Indeed, FDCA monomer may be a potential bio‐based alternative to phthalic acids. A series of polyamides and copolyamides, PA 6‐I(x)/6‐F(y), are synthesized in a pilot scale rea more
