Dupont’s Renewably Sourced High Performance Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renewably sourced, also commonly referred as biobased, materials are an integral part of DuPont’s commitment to sustainable growth. DuPont is a market leader in high performance renewably sourced polymers for engineering applications. These include products based on polyamide, polyester and thermoplastic elastomers and contain between 20 to 100 percent renewable carbon by weight. By tapping innovative technology and strategic partnerships, DuPont has created novel methods of manufacturing high-performance materials from renewable resources. This new generation of materials, derived from biomass instead of petroleum, reduces the environmental footprint without compromising performance. This paper will provide an overview of renewably sourced engineering polymers and examples of commercial products in various applications.

Dynamic Passivation with BSA Overcomes LTCC Mediated Inhibition of PCR
The increasing use of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) for the fabrication of biological microfluidic devices necessitates further research on LTCC biocompatibility. In this study we explore the inhibitory effect of DuPont’s 951 LTCC on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and demonstrate a novel mechanism to increase biocompatibility between LTCC and PCR with the addition of a common passiv...

The binder plays the most important role in the metal injection molding (MIM) process. It provides fluidity of the feedstock mixture and adhesion of the powder to keep the molded shape during injection molding. The binder must provide strength and cohesion for the molded part and must be easy to remove from the molded part. Moreover, it must be recyclable, environmentally friendly and economica...

متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Polyamide Containing Maleimide Pendant Group
A series of new polyamides containing maleimide pendant group were prepared by low temperature polycondensation of 5-(4-(2,5-dioxo-2H-pyrrol-1(5H)-yl)benzamido)isophthaloyl chloride as a new monomer with various aromatic diamines in NMP. Monomer and polymers structures were identified through FT-IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. Obtained polymers were soluble in polar solvents and non solu...
