Polylactide (PLA) is known as one of the most promising biopolymers as it is derived from
renewable feedstock and can be biodegraded. During the last two decades, it moved more …

In this tutorial review, we provide an overview of heterogeneous Diels–Alder catalysis for the
production of lignocellulosic biomass-derived aromatic compounds. Diels–Alder reactions …

Comb and bottlebrush polymers present a wide range of rheological and mechanical
properties that can be controlled through their molecular characteristics, such as the …

Polymer bead foaming technology has expanded the market for plastic foams by broadening
their applications because of the breakthrough in the production of low-density foamed …

The applications of rheology to the main processes encountered during breadmaking
(mixing, sheeting, fermentation and baking) are reviewed. The most commonly used …

Extensional viscosity of several polypropylene polymers and their blends was measured
and the foam processing of these blends using carbon dioxide blowing agent was studied …

The aim of this paper is to investigate how the molecular structure of linear polypropylenes
can be modified by electron beam irradiation. For this purpose a linear precursor was …

In order to study the rheology of long chain branched polymers, branches have been added
on linear polypropylene precursors in varying amounts using reactive modification with …

A series of long-chain branched polyamide 6 samples (LCB PA6s) with well-defined branch
length were successfully fabricated via reactive extrusion by tuning various linear PA6s as …

A new filament stretching rheometer has been constructed to measure the elongational
viscosity of polymer melts at high temperatures. Two polymer melts, a LDPE and a LLDPE …
