The present disclosure relates to a resin that includes a first repeat unit as defined by Structure (I) where A is either a methyl group or a hydrogen atom, Ris a first bridging group, andis a covalent bond.

Plastic waste-derived polymers and resins and methods of making the same

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a structure that includes where Rincludes at least one of a carbon atom and/or an oxygen atom, Rincludes at least one of a carbon atom and/or an oxygen atom, andrepresents a covalent bond. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the composition may be bioderived.

Bioderived recyclable epoxy-anhydride thermosetting polymers and resins

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes polymerizing a nitrile with an acrylate ester to form a copolymer, in a mixture that includes water and an alcohol (R&#x2014;OH), according to the following reaction where Rincludes at least one of a first aliphatic group or hydrogen, Rcomprises at least one of a second aliphatic group or hydrogen, 100&#x2264;m&#x2264;4000, and 1&#x2264;n&#x2264;4000. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mixture may be an emulsion.

Emulsion polymerization of nitriles and other compounds

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a first repeat unit that includes where x is between 1 and 1,000, inclusively, and Rincludes at least one of a first hydrocarbon chain and/or a first hydrocarbon ring. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Rmay further include at least one of an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom, a sulfur atom, and/or a phosphorus atom.

Bioderived monomers as replacements in petroleum based polymers and copolymers

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes a first reacting of a first molecule and formaldehyde and/or a paraformaldehyde to form a triazine-containing intermediate and a second reacting of the triazine-containing intermediate with a second molecule having an epoxy group to form a triazine-containing product. As described herein, the triazine-containing product may be bioderived and biodegradable.
