Gamma-butyrolactone ('GBL') and Gamma-hydroxybutyrate ('GHB') having a unique carbon footprint as defined by the percent modern carbon (pmc) are described herein. The percent modern carbon can be controlled by varying the amounts of biobased, renewable starting materials and petroleum-based starting materials to prepare GBL or GHB having a defined pmc or by preparing mixtures of GBL or GHB prepared from biobased renewable starting materials and GBL or GHB prepared from petroleum-based starting materials.

Production of salts of 4-hydroxybutyrate using biobased raw materials

The patent application relates to a method of producing a monomer component from a genetically modified polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biomass, wherein the biomass is heated in the presence of a catalyst to release a monomer component from the PHA.

Process for producing a monomer component from a genetically modified polyhydroxyalkanoate biomass

Processes and methods for making biobased acrylic acid products including acrylic acid, acrylic acid oligomers, acrylic acid esters, acrylic acid polymers and articles from renewable carbon resources are described herein.

Renewable acrylic acid production and products made therefrom

Processes and methods for making biobased gamma-butyrolactone from renewable carbon resources are described herein.

Process for gamma-butyrolactone production

A composite material includes a polymer matrix and a pigment dispersed in the polymer matrix. The pigment includes an alumina hydrate particulate material and a dye. The dye is covalently bonded to a surface of the alumina hydrate particulate material.

Pigments and polymer composites formed thereof

A modified polymer material is discloses, including a polymer base and boehmite particles provided in the polymer base, the boehmite particles are made up of mainly anisotropically shaped particles.
