Poly(Lactic Acid)-Based Nanobiocomposites with Modulated Degradation Rates.
TL;DR: Results showed that the mentioned molecules, dispersed in the polymer, are able to control the rate of hydrolysis, and experimental results show an increase of degradation time for samples containing LDH-organic acid, making such hybrid additives an appropriate and efficient solution for PLA.

Parallel anti-sense two-step cascade for alcohol amination leading to ω-amino fatty acids and α,ω-diamines
Sihyong Sung,Hyunwoo Jeon,Sharad Sarak,Md. Murshidul Ahsan,Mahesh D. Patil,Wolfgang Kroutil,Byung-Gee Kim,Hyungdon Yun +7 more
TL;DR: Running two two-step cascades in parallel anti-sense to transform an alcohol to an amine allowed the conversion of ω-hydroxy fatty acids and α,ω-diols to the correspondingπ-amino fatty acids (ω-AmFAs) and α-diamines, respectively.

Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources
Long Yu,Katherine Dean,Lin Li +2 more
TL;DR: A review of polymer blends and composites from renewable resources can be found in this article, where the progress of blends from three kinds of polymers from renewable sources (i.e., natural polymers such as starch, protein and cellulose), synthetic polymers, such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate, are described with an emphasis on potential applications.
