Bioplastics Replace Potentially Dangerous Compound Bisphenol-A with Limonene

in #technology7 years ago

Polycarbonates or plastics are ubiquitous in our life today. However, one of their precursors, bisphenol-A, is a potential carcinogen.

Now scientists have developed a method to produce polycarbonates from limonene and CO2, both of which are abundant natural products.

The new polymer has even better thermal properties. The new limonene-derived bioplastics require higher temperatures to melt, which make them safer for everyday use.
