The new monomers, isosorbide 2,5-bis(4-glyceryloxybenzoate) dimethacrylate (ISB4GBMA), isosorbide 2,5-bis(3-glyceryloxybenzoate) dimethacrylate (ISB3GBMA), and isosorbide 2,5-bis(2-glyceryloxybenzoate) dimethacrylate (ISB2GBMA), are mixed with triethy- lene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and photopolymerized. The resulting polymers are evaluated for the degree of monomeric conversion, polymerization shrinkage, water sorption, glass transition temperature, and flexural strength. Isosorbide glycerolate dimethacrylate (ISDGMA) is synthesized, and Bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate (BisGMA) is prepared, and both are evaluated as a reference. Poly(ISBGBMA/TEGDMA) series shows lower water sorption (39–44 µg/mm3) over 3 3 Poly(ISDGMA/TEGDMA) (73 µg/mm ) but higher than Poly(BisGMA/TEGDMA) (26 µg/mm ).

  • Isosorbide, a Plant-Based Feedstock for Coatings
    Date: November 5, 2020 Introducing isosorbide: a sustainable, safe, high performance, plant-based feedstock for coatings Better resistance to UV, to abrasion, to scratching and impact. Better adhesion and improved properties for water-based formulation. The demands on today’s coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE) create a long list of desirable properties for a ‘would be’ feedstock. Step forward isosorbide. Perfectly safe and produced from an annually renewable feedstock isosorbide has a unique combination of properties that offers excellent potential for a range of CASE applications. What is isosorbide and how is it made? Isosorbide is a plant starch-derived bicyclic diol with rich functionality for a range of applications in the packaging, coating, adhesives, sealents and elastomers (CASE), and automotive sectors. Isosorbide is a bicyclic diol derived from plant starch. The schematic below illustrates how isosorbide is made. Starch from annually renewable feedstocks is hydrolysed to produce glucose which is then converted to sorbitol and on to isosorbide by hydrogenation. Over the last two decades, Roquette, the world’s leading manufacturer of isosorbide has refined and optimised this manufacturing route to produce stable, high purity isosorbide in industrial quantities. The company’s flagship plant produces isosorbide of three different grades, each tailored to specific industrial applications. Isosorbide is industrially manufactured from renewable plant feedstocks in a series of different grades. As a plant-based, sustainable feedstock with a carbon footprint of just 0.09 kg CO2/kg of product, isosorbide is an attractive substitute for monomers such as bisphenol A, which has a carbon footprint around 60 times higher.* However, impressive environmental credentials are just the start.

Moreover, the possibility to carry out solid-state post-condensation (SSP) is conditioned by its ability to sufficiently crystallize. The present study, thus, gives a systematic investigation of isothermal crystallization of these statistical copolyesters with isosorbide contents ranging from 4.8 to 20.8 mol.%. For each copolyester composition, the lowest isothermal half crystallization times and the highest Avrami constant (K) were obtained around 170 ◦C. Over the range of composition that was studied, both melting points and melting enthalpies decreased with increasing amounts of isosorbide (from 250 to 207 ◦C and from 55 to 28 J/g, respectively). On the contrary, half crystallization time displayed an exponential increase when increasing isosorbide contents in the studied range. Finally, structural and thermal analysis of PIT homopolyester are reported for the first time, showing that only ET moieties crystallized when PEIT was subjected to isothermal crystallization at 170 ◦C.

Received: 20 April 2018; Accepted: 22 May 2018; Published: 29 May 2018 Abstract: Biomass-derived polyester coatings for coil applications have been successfully developed and characterized. The coatings were constituted by carbohydrate-derived monomers, namely 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid, isosorbide, succinic acid, 1,3-propanediol, and 1,5-pentanediol, the latter having previously been used as a plasticizer rather than a structural building unit. The effect of isosorbide on the coatings is widely studied. The inclusion of these monomers diversified the mechanical properties of the coatings, and showed an improved performance against common petrochemical derived coatings. This research study provides a range of fully bio-derived polyester coil coatings with tunable properties of industrial interest, highlighting the importance of renewable polymers towards a successful bioeconomy. Keywords: biomass; coatings; isosorbide; FDCA; polyester; biopolymer; 1-5-pentanediol 1.

  • Corn-Based Chemistry (Paper)
    1 Corn-Based Chemistry and its Applications Sanjay V. Malhotra1*, Vineet Kumar,1 Anthony East,2 Michael Jaffe2 New Jersey Institute of Technology Corn is the largest crop grown in the USA, occupying some 70 million acres. The U.S. produces 44% of the world’s corn. It is a versatile, natural, biodegradable and renewable resource for many commercial applications. Corn as a raw material is replacing petroleum in many industrial applications, from plastic containers to clean-burning ethanol. One current goal is to produce 5 billion gallons of ethanol from corn annually. Corn components can be found in thousands of products ranging from food products, drugs, cosmetics and cleansers to adhesives and shoe polish. For example, corn oil is used in emollient creams and toothpaste while corn syrup is often used as a texturing and carrying agent in cosmetics. The current article will focus on new technologies arising from corn-based chemistry and their application in different fields e.g. the polymer industry, biomedicals, drug delivery systems and pharmaceuticals etc. APPLICATION OF CORN PRODUCTS IN POLYMER INDUSTRY The development of biodegradable polymers is one of the many important and urgent targets from the standpoint of environmental preservation. Biodegradable polymers from corn chemistry offer a number of advantages over other synthetic materials. Polymers derived from starch or other carbohydrates are of great interest since these materials are made from entirely renewable resources [1]. They have been used for manufacturing quality plastics, packaging materials and fabrics and also are very widely used in biomedical applications e.g. bioMEMs, biochips, bioscaffolds, etc.

  • Isosorbide Dinitrate) Tablets
    Isordil® Titradose™ (isosorbide dinitrate) Tablets Rx only DESCRIPTION Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucitol 2,5-dinitrate, an organic nitrate whose structural formula is and whose molecular weight is 236.14. The organic nitrates are vasodilators, active on both arteries and veins. Isosorbide dinitrate is a white, crystalline, odorless compound which is stable in air and in solution, has a melting point of 70°C and has an optical rotation of +134° (c=1.0, alcohol, 20°C). Isosorbide dinitrate is freely soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, alcohol, and ether, but is only sparingly soluble in water. Each Isordil® Titradose™ tablet contains 5 or 40 mg of isosorbide dinitrate. The inactive ingredients in each tablet are lactose, cellulose, and magnesium stearate. The 5 mg and 40 mg dosage strengths also contain the following: 5 mg – FD&C Red 40; 40 mg – D&C Yellow 10, FD&C Blue 1, and FD&C Yellow 6. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The principal pharmacological action of isosorbide dinitrate is relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and consequent dilatation of peripheral arteries and veins, especially the latter. Dilatation of the veins promotes peripheral pooling of blood and decreases venous return to the heart, thereby reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (preload). Arteriolar relaxation reduces systemic vascular resistance, systolic arterial pressure, and mean arterial pressure (afterload). Dilatation of the coronary arteries also occurs. The relative importance of preload reduction, afterload reduction, and coronary dilatation remains undefined. Dosing regimens for most chronically used drugs are designed to provide plasma concentrations that are continuously greater than a minimally effective concentration.

Lillie, William B. Tolman * and Theresa M. Reineke * Carbohydrates and their derivatives have great potential as building blocks for the development of renew- able materials that are cost and performance competitive with conventional petroleum-based materials. D7ZLQ&LWLHVRQ To this end, the rigid carbohydrate-derived diols, glucarodilactone and isosorbide were functionalized with a castor oil derivative, 10-undecenoic acid, forming α,ω-dienes suitable for acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization. Equimolar copolymerizations of these two monomers, glucarodilactone undecenoate (GDLU) and isosorbide undecenoate (GDLU), transform brittle homopolymers into elastic materials with shape memory capabilities. To understand the source of these properties, a series of copolymers consisting of a range of GDLU and IU compositions (100 : 0, 77 : 23, 76 : 24, 52 : 48, 48 : 52, 18 : 82, 0 : 100 mol percent GDLU to IU) was synthesized. The material and chemical properties were characterized by uniaxial tensile testing, small-amplitude oscillatory shear rheology, X-ray scattering and hydrolytic degradation testing. Small compositional changes in this family were shown to have a drastic impact on the observed mechanical performance and degradability of these materials. Rheological measurements of GDLU-containing copolymers found evidence for the presence of transient networking within these materials. We posit that the transient network within this material is responsible for the elasticity and shape memory abilities of the GDL-containing materials. In confirmation of these properties, Received 6th April 2017, anovelα,ω-diene 2,5-bis(hydroxymethylfuran) undecenoate (BHMFU) was developed and served as a Accepted 11th May 2017 direct replacement for either GDLU or IU in copolymerizations.

The catalytic performance of regenerated 30% PW/SiO2 catalysts by dichlorometh- ane elution showed no loss after recycling five runs. Characterizations with UV-Vis, XRD, NH3-TPD and thermal an- alysis techniques revealed that PW had a good dispersion, and the primary Keggin structure was preserved after sup- porting PW on different supports. The interaction between PW and oxides resulted in different acidity of catalysts, which affected conversion of sorbitol and selectivity for isosorbide. The final acidity order of supported PW catalysts was the following: SiO2>γ-Al2O3>TiO2≈ZrO2>CeO2.
