Enhancing the properties of poly(propylene succinate) by the incorporation of crystallizable symmetrical amido diols
TL;DR: In this article, a straightforward synthetic strategy is applied to synthesize poly(ester amides) from succinic acid which relies on amido diol building blocks, by application of these symmetrical diols that have two internal amide bonds, the formation of chainterminating N-succinimide end groups could be almost completely suppressed.

Alternating and regioregular copolymers with high refractive index from COS and biomass-derived epoxides
TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic formation of alternating and regioregular copolymers from carbonyl sulfide (COS) and epoxides along with eugenol-based glycidyl ether (EGE) and guaiacol)-based GGE, respectively, was described, which provided an unprecedented and sustainable synthetic route for making soluble sulfur-rich polymers with high optical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlating in vitro degradation and drug release kinetics of biopolymer-based drug delivery systems
TL;DR: A large number of these polymers are replacing metal- or oil-based polymers, and as environmental concerns grow, biopolymers are becoming more important in all economic sectors, and two of them are polyhydroxybutyra and poly hydrocarbon.

Unmasking the heterogeneity of carbohydrates in heartwood, sapwood, and bark of Eucalyptus.
Ming-Zhao Xiao,Wei-Jing Chen,Xuefei Cao,Chen Yueying,Bao-Chen Zhao,Zhi-Hua Jiang,Tong-Qi Yuan,Run-Cang Sun +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that among all of the samples, heartwood cellulose had the highest molecular weight as well as the lowest degree of crystallinity and the hemicelluloses isolated from sapwood had a higher degree of substitution with terminal galactose than those isolated from heartwood and bark.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.
Ye Sun,Jiayang Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
