Why Revolution: It’s Raw-Materials; WASTE(s) that are Bio-Based/Sustainable or Climate Harming GASES; not PetroBased ……………………………………………………………………………………….. 2-Compelling Reasons Why You Must Attend 1. Traditional & New Polymers: Biobased building blocks are enabling the manufacture of traditional polymers (Polyolefins/Polyesters/Nylons) as well as newer polymers such as PEF (vs PET for packaging) and Nylon 410 to name a few. 2. Environment Re-Engineering: Bill Gates funds $14M for Plantro-Chemicals and heads-up a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change.  a. LAND Pollution: Building blocks for polymers are being made via forest and municipal WASTES as opposed to petro-based chemicals b. CLIMATE Pollution: In further support to worldwide Paris-2015 agreement on climate control, Bill Gates will be heading a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change. Use of biobased-renewable raw materials to make polymers, especially the greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), is a step tow

Researchers have studied why human hair is so strong to inform the design of new synthetic materials, including polymers for body armor. Observations researchers have made about why human hair is so strong and resistant to breaking could form the basis for the   development of new synthetic materials   , including polymers that could be well-suited for body armor. Human hair has a strength-to-weight ratio comparable to steel and can be stretched up to one and a half times its original length before breaking. Understanding why this is so was the aim of a cross-disciplinary team of mechanical engineers and nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego. Researchers observed at the nanoscale level how a strand of human hair behaves when it is deformed, or stretched. What they found was that hair behaves differently depending on how fast or slow it is stretched; the faster hair is stretched, the stronger it is, they said.

Repsol has developed a new type of polyol, polycarbonate polyol, which will partially replace its raw material, propylene oxide with the abundant and sustainable alternative, CO2.  Polyol with a 20% of CO2: This will result in reduction in the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere and, consequently, lessening environmental footprint impact. Repsol has worked together with selected customers who have manufactured products with this innovative polyol. Additional advantages of this new polycarbonate polyol are that, it enhances certain properties of different CASE applications. Improved Adherence and Elasticity: For adhesives and elastomers, the improved features can be: added adherence and elasticity compared with conventional polyols. They also have specific properties that mean they can be applied in other ways in the future. Repsol has already started production of its polycarbonate polyol in the pilot plant located in Puertollano, Spain. With this plant Repsol aims to produce

The interior air quality of cars can now be improved with BASF's new polyether polyol . The new grade is part of the Lupranol® brand which is used in the production of automotive applications made of highly resilient flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams. The low VOC grade polyol has been proven to significantly reduce VOC emissions, particularly aldehyde, making it a sustainable alternative in the production of polyurethane foams for automotive interior applications such as seats, headliners, and steering wheels. Lupranol® - Low VOC Grade Polyol: “Automotive OEMs in Asia, especially in China and Korea, are seeking solutions to enhance vehicle interior air quality, and this new grade will help them meet the increasingly stringent regulatory standards for VOC emissions,” “VOCs can be effectively reduced with changes to manufacturing processes. As such, we play a key role in contributing towards environmental sustainability and health. Reduction in Aldehyde Emissions by 5-10%:
