This ACS Symposium Series is the product of a symposium held at the
241st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim,
CA on March 27-31, 2011. It includes chapters on new biobased
building blocks such as the furandicarboxylic acid, polyesters and
polyamides from adipic, succinic and sebacic acids with aliphatic
diols such as 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol,
1,12-dodecylenediol and isosorbide. The conversion of
hydroxymethylfurfural, the dehydration product of hexose sugars, to
succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol to produce poly(butylene
succinate) is described in one chapter. Also the synthesis of new
polymers from plant-derived olefinic monomers such as tulipalin A
and studies of composites from cotton by-products are featured in
other chapters. There is a strong emphasis on biocatalytic
synthesis and polymerization within the book. Chapter topics
include the synthesis of ?-hydroxyfatty acids and polymers
therefrom, an interesting discussion on the structural differences
of the products of the biocatalytic and chemical catalytic
synthesis of polyesters from oleic diacid and glycerol and the
ability to produce polylactic acid (PLA) and PLA-PHA copolyesters
within a "microbial cell factory". Other areas of interest explored
in other chapters include recent developments of biobased polymer
fibers and oleate-based pressure sensitive adhesives and
composites. One chapter describes a large increase in cold-drawn
fiber tensile strength by the blending of a small amount of
ultrahigh molecular weight (MW) poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with a much
lower MW 3-hydroxybutyrate polymer. The addition of a rubber and
inorganic fillers to normally brittle PLA was found to dramatically
improve its ductility. Finally, there are several chapters on seed
oil-based polyurethanes, one on fibers from soy proteins and
composites from starch.
