Abstract:At present, biomass-based polymers can be applied in several fields, such as medicine, biology, aerospace and so on. Due to their good biodegradability, more environmentally friendly products with desirable functions can be designed and processed by people. Therefore, it can be a potential candidate to solve the serious environmental pollution caused by using petroleum-based polymeric materials in the production process. In this article, cellulose, lignin and vegetable oil are taken as examples, all of which a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
