Our other latest article has just been published in ACS Omega. Although widely used polymers, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are easily recyclable, complex engineering polymer blends used in the automotive sector involve recycling challenges at the end of life. Together with my colleagues, Prof. Dr. Guralp Ozkoc, Prof. Dr. Olcay Mert, and Instructor Rumeysa Yıldırım, we explored the alterations in the properties of compatibilized and thermoplastic elastomer toughened polyamide 6 under multiple thermomechanical recycling conditions, especially for the automotive industry in underhood applications.

Introducing ESEESE: The Future of Sustainable Polymers! Scientists at North Dakota State University, led by Professor Dean Webster, have developed epoxidized sucrose esters of fatty acids (ESEFAs) featuring a rigid sucrose core with eight fatty acid arms. These macromolecules offer versatility in thermosets, polyurethanes, composites, adhesives, and coatings. ESEFAs are notable for their high cross-link density, rapid gelation, and over 50% bio-based content, making them hard, ductile, and environmentally friendly. With US Patent 10,730,998, this technology is now available for licensing and partnering opportunities. Interested in learning more? Contact us at 701.231.6681.
