Catalyst-controlled sustainable crosslinking reaction for green itaconate polyester coatings
In the context of a bio-based circular economy, replacing fossil raw materials with renewable alternatives has become a major trend. Platform chemicals such as itaconic acid and 2.5-furandicarboxylic acid can now be produced from sugars or lignocellulose and used to synthesize fully bio-based polyesters e.g. poly(e...
