Title
Sweeter Polymers.
Abstract
The article explores how plant based sugars are increasingly of interest as feedstocks to make greener, better performing plastics including a polymer filler derived from sugar beet. Topics include researchers used a sugar called isosorbide to create a novel elastomer or synthetic rubber with superior elastic recovery; and Researchers have looked to previously discarded waste streams to make materials such as foamed plastics.
