Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers are emerging as attractive new sustainable polymers due to their true biodegradability and highly tuneable mechanical properties. However, despite significant investments, commercialisation barriers hindering the capacity growth of PHA. In this work, we investigated market potential for wood plastic composites (WPCs) based on PHAs. We considered latest global production PHAs, estimated at 66,000 tonnes/year, examined implications using PHAs WPC market....
ABSTRACT A fully biodegradable and biobased wood plastic composite based on a microbial biopolyester matrix, poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), lignocellulosic filler, pine flour (WF), was manufactured using extrusion at industry‐standard level of content. The effects three compatibilization techniques the mechanical properties composites were investigated. Techniques include silicone fiber treatment Sigmacote, maleic anhydride (MA) grafting PHBV addition polymethylene...
The synthesis and characterization of a novel fixative, guar gum-graft-poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (GG-g-p(AM-co-DADMAC)) polymer is described. grafted polymerproved to be effective at adsorbing hydrophobic wood resin particles onto papermaking fibre surfaces, thus removing resins from the water phase where they have tendency aggregate form troublesome deposits. new combines colloidal stabilising features natural product, gum, fixative properties synthetic...
Abstract Chemometrics was employed to study the effect of various reaction conditions on graft copolymerization acrylamide (AM) and diallyl dimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) onto guar gum using cerous sulfate potassium persulfate complex initiation system. A two level full factorial design used parameters percentage grafting (%G) monomer conversion (%MC). Synthesized polymers were characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1 H‐NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance...
