Biobricks

The Breakthrough of Drop-In Solutions

Abstract

A broad panel of biomonomers and bioblocks “similar” to those used for fossil resins lead to special advantages but also possible limitations allowing to synthetize various plastics using traditional polymerization equipment. The most common ways are alcohol and acid routes among others.

Physical, mechanical and chemical properties, aging, processing, applications, and producers are examined for renewable polyethylene, thermoplastic polyesters, polyamides with long and/or short hydrocarbon segments (PA 11, PA 1010, PA 1012, PA 610, PA 510, PA 512, PA 514, PA 410, PA 156), polyurethanes (foams, sprays, coatings and adhesives, thermoplastic polyurethanes), unsaturated polyesters, acrylics, phenolic ...
