The synthesis, reactivity and applications of glycerol carbonate (glycerine carbonate or 4-
hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-1, 3-dioxolane) are discussed and reviewed. Supported by the …

The most recent advances in the use of glycerol and glycerol derivatives as solvents are
reviewed. There are an increasing number of examples of the use of glycerol itself as a …

This review presents the recent advances involving several applications of five-membered
cyclic carbonates and derivatives. With more than 150 references, it covers the period from …

The potential of cyclic carbonates for the functionalization of lignins and condensed tannins
was studied in detail. Four different cyclic carbonates, namely, ethylene, propylene, vinyl …

Polyalcohol liquefaction can be performed by acid or base catalysis, producing polyols with
different properties. This study compared the mechanical properties of foams produced …

Morphology, molecular weight, polydispersity, functionality, and thermal properties are
important characteristics when using polyglycerol as a building block in the development of …

Lignosulfonate and lignosulfonate hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions were used as the
polyol components in polyurethane foam formulations. Although the treatment increased …

Polyalcohol liquefaction can be done by acid or basic catalysis producing polyols with

Hyperbranched aliphatic polyethers containing hydroxyl and amine end groups were
produced from glycerol carbonate (4-hydroxymethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-one) and cyclic …

Polymeric emulsifiers based on glycerol and oleic acid were developed and their properties
evaluated in palm oil and water solutions. Developed polymeric emulsifiers were …
