Since the late 1990s, the polymer industry has faced two serious problems: global warming and anticipation of limitation to the access to fossil resources. One solution consists in the use of sustainable resources instead of fossil-based resources. Hence, biomass feedstocks are a promising resource and biopolymers are one of the most dynamic polymer area. Additionally, biodegradability is a special functionality conferred to a material, bio-based or not. Very recently, facing the awareness of the volumes of plastic wastes, biodegradable polymers are gaining increasing attention from the market and industrial community. This special issue of Molecules deals with the current scientific and industrial challenges of Natural and Biobased Polymers, through the access of new biobased monomers, improved thermo-mechanical properties, and by substitution of harmful substances. This themed issue can be considered as collection of highlights within the field of Natural Polymers and Biobased Polymers which clearly demonstrate the increased interest in this field. We hope that this will inspire researchers to further develop this area and thus contribute to futures more sustainable society.”Research & information: generalbicsscimineepoxideaminethermosetbio-basedbiobased epoxycardanolcationic photocuringmicrofibrillated cellulosebiobased compositessustainable materialsbiomassgreen chemistrymechanimshuminsepoxy resinsthermosetskineticsring-openingbiobasedpolyurethane foamcatalystpolycarbonatesfuran-maleimideDiels-Alderfatty acidsmelt extrusion3D printingcellulose nanofibrilsbiocomposite filamentsphysical propertydrained and undrained peatlandspeatshumic acidsthermalparamagnetic and optical propertiesacetylated starchetherified starchchemical compositionmacromolecular characteristicssurface characterizationligninfractionationbiobased polymerssolvent extractionmembrane-assisted ultrafiltrationplant oil-based monomersmixed micellesmethyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexemulsion polymerizationnanocellulosepolymercoatingtextileadhesionbiobased monomerphotoinduced-polymerizationeugenol-derived methacrylatebacterial cellulosealginategelatincurcuminbiomaterialschitosansilane coupling agentmicrofibercrosslinkingmechanical strengthblock copolymersrenewable resourcesRAFTalkyl lactatePSAterpenoidexo-methyleneconjugated dienerenewable monomerbiobased polymerradical polymerizationcopolymerizationliving radical polymerizationRAFT polymerizationheat-resistant polymerResearch & information: generalCaillol Sylvainedt1291440Caillol SylvainothBOOK9910557205403321Natural Polymers and Biopolymers II3021845UNINA
