Safe biodegradable “green” alternatives with minimal environmental and health risks have received widespread research interest. Thirty different kinds of bio-based flocculants (modified starches,… (More)
Oxyfuel combustion process, together with the supplementing process units needed for continuous carbon capturing in power production, is an interesting and challenging topic from process control and… (More)
The aim of this study was to evaluate film-formation properties of a novel, organic solvent-free aqueous dispersion of potato starch acetate (SA; degree of substitution 2.8) and its ability to… (More)
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of n-alkenyl succinic anhydrides (n-ASAs) to improve the film-forming characteristics of a novel coating polymer, potato starch acetate… (More)
Graft copolymers of acetylated starch oligomer (AS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). AS was converted to an ATRP macroinitiator by… (More)
Interest in sustainable materials is opening up possibilities for biopolymers. Decreasing environmental strain is the concept of today, and the trend to replace oil-based products with biopolymers is… (More)
A series of copolyanhydrides, consisting of 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetylgalactaric acid (AGA) and adipic acid (AA) as monomer units, was polymerized. Synthesis of AGA monomer consisted of two steps. First,… (More)
