Starch-based polymers have emerged as a sustainable alternative in textile applications, particularly in warp sizing where adhesion and film properties are of paramount importance. Recent advances ...

The global starch-blended biodegradable polymer market revenue was US$ 1.62 billion in 2021. The starch-blended biodegradable polymer market revenue is forecast to reach US$ 3.4 billion by 2030, ...

We now generate huge amounts of plastic waste, especially in the packaging industry and agriculture. Oil-based polymers are becoming more and more expensive, due to rising oil prices that are due in ...

Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...

The packaging & bags segment dominated the market in 2020, accounting for nearly half of the total share, and is forecast to maintain its lead. WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2025 ...

A recent article in Polymer investigated the impact of high-frequency curing on aqueous polymer isocyanate (API) containing an oxidized starch/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) system as the main ...

In Cassandra Callmann and her team’s proof-of-concept, the sticky materials removed heavy metals including cadmium and lead. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans ...

A squirt of this polymer binds with cadmium, forming a cloudy precipitate, and then a little bit of acid releases the heavy metal, redissolving the polymer. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their ...
