    polymers Review The Recent Developments in Biobased Polymers toward General and Engineering Applications: Polymers that Are Upgraded from Biodegradable Polymers, Analogous to Petroleum-Derived Polymers, and Newly Developed Hajime Nakajima, Peter Dijkstra and Katja Loos * ID Macromolecular Chemistry and New Polymeric Materials, Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] (H.N.); [email protected] (P.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-50-363-6867 Received: 31 August 2017; Accepted: 18 September 2017; Published: 18 October 2017 Abstract: The main motivation for development of biobased polymers was their biodegradability, which is becoming important due to strong public concern about waste. Reflecting recent changes in the polymer industry, the sustainability of biobased polymers allows them to be used for general and engineering applications. This expansion is driven by the remarkable progress in the processes for refining biomass feedstocks to produce biobased building blocks that allow biobased polymers to have more versatile and adaptable polymer chemical structures and to achieve target properties and functionalities. In this review, biobased polymers are categorized as those that are: (1) upgrades from biodegradable polylactides (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), and others; (2) analogous to petroleum-derived polymers such as bio-poly(ethylene terephthalate) (bio-PET); and (3) new biobased polymers such as poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)

  • Environmental Biodegradability of Recombinant Structural Protein
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Environmental biodegradability of recombinant structural protein Yuya Tachibana1,2*, Sunita Darbe3, Senri Hayashi1, Alina Kudasheva3, Haruna Misawa1, Yuka Shibata1 & Ken‑ichi Kasuya1,2* Next generation polymers needs to be produced from renewable sources and to be converted into inorganic compounds in the natural environment at the end of life. Recombinant structural protein is a promising alternative to conventional engineering plastics due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, its production from biomass, and its potential for biodegradability. Herein, we measured the thermal and mechanical properties of the recombinant structural protein BP1 and evaluated its biodegradability. Because the thermal degradation occurs above 250 °C and the glass transition temperature is 185 °C, BP1 can be molded into sheets by a manual hot press at 150 °C and 83 MPa. The fexural strength and modulus of BP1 were 115 ± 6 MPa and 7.38 ± 0.03 GPa. These properties are superior to those of commercially available biodegradable polymers. The biodegradability of BP1 was carefully evaluated. BP1 was shown to be efciently hydrolyzed by some isolated bacterial strains in a dispersed state. Furthermore, it was readily hydrolyzed from the solid state by three isolated proteases. The mineralization was evaluated by the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)‑ biodegradation testing with soil inocula. The BOD biodegradability of BP1 was 70.2 ± 6.0 after 33 days. Many commercially available polymers have some associated environmental problems1,2. Te increase in the production and subsequent disposal of synthetic polymers causes serious environmental pollution because these polymers do not degrade in the natural environment.

  • Impact Behaviour of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene After Temperature and Humidity Load
    MATEC Web of Conferences 125, 02048 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/ matecconf/201712502048 CSCC 2017 Impact behaviour of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene after temperature and humidity load Lenka Hylova 1,*, Miroslav Manas1 1Tomas Bata University in Zlin, nam. T. G. Masaryka 5555, 76001 Zlin, Czech Republic Abstract. This study deals with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) which was subjected the drop-weight test before and after temperature and humidity load. ABS is an engineering plastic and also an important engineering terpolymer, which has butadiene part uniformly distributed through the acrylonitrile-styrene matrix and is commonly used in production of automotive interior components. The injection moulded ABS samples were subjected the penetration test at fall height 100 J before and after temperature and humidity load and the results were subsequently evaluated and discussed. It was found out that ABS after temperature and humidity load has lower impact resistance. 1 Introduction construction, computer and business equipment, personal care products, toys, medical devices and in automotive Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is an engineering interior components [1-3]. plastic and also an important engineering terpolymer, Brazilian scientists investigated three types of which has butadiene part uniformly distributed through commercial ABS, namely GP (ABS for general-purpose the acrylonitrile-styrene matrix. ABS was use), HI (an ABS high impact) and HH (ABS high heat commercialized at the latter of 1940s by U.S. Rubber and resistance). They studied activation energy of all three originally was made by blending of polystyrene-co- ABS and they realized that it is much higher than acrylonitrile (SAN) and NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene reported in the literature.
