The selective modification of unprotected carbohydrates for cross-linking in waterborne coatings.As you all know we use a lot plastic and polymers. There are big problems with since they oil based produce waste. That way contribute to the problem global heating because their carbon footprint.Also coatings such polymers used protect our metal wooden surfaces. Even though do not end up same as waste, help footprint. New inventions tried but often expensive difficult make.What if there already was cheap green alternative “old oil-based plastics polymers”? Indeed, it is possible take plant-based feedstocks production Moreover, even organic waste feedstocks, e.g. from industry form crap shells.Most these have common, that built large chains sugar molecules, so-called polysaccharides. These polysaccharides perfect starting materials alternatives polymerized into consist number functionalities. Functionalities necessary perform further chemistry modify chains’ properties.The whole process modifying bio-waste feedstock only an opportunity also challenge. goal aqueous solutions so no toxic solvents needed. applies reagents modifications. It example catalysts contain heavy metals.This where ARC CBBC started its flagship project coatings. Coatings general just protective layer made plastic.My part this handle afterwards, which can be cross-link onto each other. will make water-soluble material water-resistant coating after drying (comparison between spaghetti lasagna).
