The catalytic aldol condensation reaction represents a pivotal method for synthesising acrylic acid through the coupling of simple carbonyl compounds such as acetic acid, formaldehyde and methanol.

Researchers take an important step towards the production of fully biobased, rigid polyesters. They present a simple, yet innovative, synthesis strategy to overcome the inherently low reactivity of ...

In a recent paper in Nature Communications, researchers at the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry group led by Prof. Gert-Jan Gruter take an important step towards the production of fully biobased, ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have developed a method that enables the production of a strong, durable bio-based polyester. A simple synthesis strategy used by the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry ...
