We make more than 175 million tonnes of condensation polymers every year. That is over a third of all the plastic on the[…]

Plastic pollution is hard to miss. Microplastics in the ocean. Landfills crammed with stuff we used once and tossed. The dark joke is[…]

You have probably seen the numbers before. Half a billion tons of synthetic polymers produced each year, almost all of it from fossil[…]

Polyester polyols, a cornerstone of polyurethane (PU) chemistry, are high-performance polymers synthesized through the polycondensation of organic dicarboxylic acids (e.g., adipic acid, phthalic[…]
