Bioplastics, synthesized from plant sugars ... Chemists had to rely on heterogeneous reactions to make cellulose-based plastics, and these required corrosive chemicals, high temperatures ...

As a result, many researchers in Japan are now looking more seriously at cellulose. “Europe has focused on starch-based bioplastics, but bioplastics made from cellulose nanofibres from plants ...

After years of testing, a new version of cellulose diacetate (CDA), a plastic-like polymer derived from wood pulp, has been ...

They have found that cellulose diacetate (CDA), a bioplastic in use for over 100 years, degrades faster in marine ...

In general, when molding polysaccharide bioplastics such as cellulose acetate, petroleum-based plasticizers are added to improve processability, and large amounts of organic solvents are used for ...

So could plant-based ... this is Biome Bioplastics, which has developed a fully compostable and recyclable cup using natural materials such as potato starch, corn starch, and cellulose, the ...
