How well can renewable resources mimic commodity monomers and polymers?
Open accessAbstract
This highlight discusses the recent progress aimed at maximizing the potential of biomass for commodity monomers and polymers. These efforts are no longer solely academic issues. In recent years, a variety of alkene, diene, aromatic, and condensation type monomers have utilized renewable resources, such as cellulose, lignin, plant oils, starches, and monoterpenes in commercial polymers. Generally, these multifaceted efforts involve pretreatment of biomass with thermal, chemical, or physical methods followed by a catalyst sequence that entails a combination of acid‐catalysis, bio‐catalysis, or metal‐based catalysis. In this regard, synthesis strategies for ethylene, propylene, α‐olefins, methylmethacrylate, 1,3‐butadiene, 1,3‐cyclohexadiene, isoprene, 1,3‐propanediol, 1,4‐butanediol, and terephthalic acid are discussed as well as opportunities for other renewable‐based monomers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
