Bioplastics might be an ecofriendly alternative to traditional plastics. However, recent studies
have emphasized that even bioplastics can end up becoming micro-and nano-plastics due …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and other biodegradable materials have the potential to replace
petroleum-based materials as the mainstream option. As a synthetic monomer for PLA, the …

Bioplastics are regarded as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics,
particularly poly (lactic acid)(PLA). However, due to the slow biodegradation of PLA and the …

The development of efficient Beta zeolite for conversion of L-lactic acid (L-LA) to L, L-lactide
(L-LT) is in urgent need but still remains challenging. Herein, we reported an enhancement …

Dehydration of methyl lactate (ML) obtained from biomass is a sustainable route for the
production of methyl acrylate (MA). Herein, we demonstrate that cesium-exchanged Al-rich …

Herein, a novel continuous fixed-bed process for methacrolein (MAL) production via aldol
condensation of formaldehyde with propionaldehyde over a sulfonic acid resin was …

The valorization of waste polylactic acid (PLA) for the production of high value-added
chemicals is a sustainable way to avoid carbon resource waste and promote circular …

Densities and viscosities were measured as a function of temperature for 12 esters of
glycolic, dl-lactic, and dl-malic acids and linear chain alcohols C1–C5. The density and …

Lactide is an important building block of biodegradable polylactic acid. Lactide was
synthesized via separation-promoted liquid-phase transesterification reactions of lactates …

The chemical recyclability of poly (ester-alt-thioether) structures is investigated. Different
polymers were synthesized by alternating anionic ring-opening copolymerization of …
