The ring-opening polymerization of bio-based monomer 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (MDO) can reportedly enhance polymer degradability. Butyl acrylate (BA)/MDO/vinyl acetate (VAc) terpolymers were synthesized via emulsion polymerization for their eventual application as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). While using MDO in emulsion polymerization leads to a more sustainable process, it also presents challenges such as MDO hydrolysis, MDO ring retention, and inadequate MDO distribution.

Environmental issues and the reduction of fossil fuel resources will lead to the partial or total substitution of petroleum-based materials with natural, raw, renewable ones. One expanding domain is the obtaining of engineering materials from vegetable oils for sustainable, eco-friendly polymers for different applications. Herein, the authors propose a simplified and green synthesis pathway for a thermally curable, acrylated and epoxidized soybean oil matrix formulation containing only epoxidized soybean oil, acrylic acid, a reactive diluent (5%) and just 0.

This work aimed to propose the reuse of processing waste from the Sicilian almond ( Batsch.) cultivar Tuono for the formulation of a new functional baked product (muffin) that is gluten- and lactose-free. Muffins were prepared using orange juice, rice flour, extra virgin olive oil, and enriched almond skin (3% and 6% /).

In this contribution, we tackle the replacement of the Hg-based catalyst and fossil-derived isocyanate precursors toward the formulation of a more sustainable polyurethane thermosetting resins (PUs), emulating the performance of a fully fossil-based one employed in industrial encapsulation of optoelectronics. A mixed Bi-Zn catalyst and a 71% bio-based isocyanate are exploited at this aim through multivariate chemometric approaches, namely Design of Experiment (DoE). DoE allows us to investigate the effect of different formulation factors on selected parameters, such as the film flexibility and transparency or the gel time.

Chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs), known for their high aspect ratio, surface charge, and mobility, are promising bio-based nanomaterials for drug delivery. However, their potential as pesticide carriers in agriculture remains underexplored. Etoxazole, a diphenyl oxalate acaricide, effectively inhibits egg hatching and the normal molting process in mites but suffers from rapid degradation and short persistence in field applications.
