A novel sandwich-structured composite from biopolymers for building envelope applications
Iranpolymer/Baspar A new sandwich-structured composite has been developed from the surface layers of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and the interlayer of polylactic acid and cellulose microfibers. The biodegradable cellulose microfibers can be modified chemically with a sol-gel process to improve the compatibility between natural reinforcement and the…

Putting an end to plastic separation anxiety
Iranpolymer/Baspar Bio-based plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) were invented to help solve the plastic waste crisis, but they often end up making waste management more challenging. Because these materials look and feel so similar to conventional, petroleum-based plastics, many products…

Renewable energy powers POM depolymerisation in new study
Iranpolymer/Baspar Plastics recycling through depolymerisation has been successfully demonstrated mainly for PET, polystyrene and polylactic acid. Now, a research team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has shown that electro-chemical depolymerisation of polyoxymethylene, or POM, is also feasible. POM is…
