Silica has been in the headlines and the subject of recently proposed and emergency temporary regulations for industry. Another facet of silica to consider is its inclusion in many products and processes, its chemical reactivity (previously thought inert), and the toxicological effects.

🌱 Our Latest Research: Unveiling the Mysteries of PET Enzymatic Degradation! 🌍 Exciting news! Our team has just published a research paper entitled "Elucidating the Effect of Polyethylene Terephthalate Chain Structure on Its Enzymatic Degradation Behavior." 📝 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a commonly used thermoplastic polymer, has posed environmental challenges due to its widespread use and improper disposal. Enzymatic degradation of PET offers a promising, eco-friendly solution, producing valuable monomers for plastic synthesis. In our study, we delved deep into PET degradation, inspired by the discovery of the PETase enzyme. It's known that reduced crystallinity enhances enzymatic degradation, but we took it a step further. We synthesised various PET polymers, including copolymers, as well as branched PET used in packaging. These materials possess excellent properties for injection moulding and oxygen scavenging. 🔬 Our Research Highlights: * We explored the relationship between substrate crystallinity and chemical structure in PET degradation. * Our findings reveal that chemical structure, including kinks and branches, plays a more significant role in PETase binding and enzymatic degradation efficiency than crystallinity. This research is a testament to the potential of sustainable plastics and how we can optimise them for eco-friendly solutions. 🌱 🔗 You can access the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gCshXRsW #Research #Sustainability #PlasticDegradation #Innovation #Science

Bernard Lab The Science of Chemicals: Explores Blending and Manufacturing In the realm of chemicals, two fundamental processes exist: blending and manufacturing. As highlighted in the source article "Chemical Blending vs. Manufacturing Chemicals," we delve into the nuances of these processes to understand their distinctions and applications. The primary disparity lies in whether a chemical reaction occurs during the process. In chemical blending, chemicals are combined without undergoing a chemical reaction. This process finds extensive use in the creation of various cosmetic and commercial products. For instance, blending chemicals may involve mixing inks or pigments, concocting moisturizers with essential oils, or crafting different soaps through a melt-and-pour technique. The food industry also frequently employs blending to transform raw ingredients into the delectable products we enjoy. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gfGw27gH

Bernard Lab: Bridging the Gap Between Chemical Blending and Manufacturing In the exploration of chemical processes, the distinction between blending and manufacturing chemicals is crucial. As outlined in the article "Chemical Blending vs. Manufacturing Chemicals" by Sensorex, these processes differ fundamentally in their outcomes and mechanisms. Chemical blending involves the mixing of chemicals without inducing a chemical reaction. This method is common in various industries, including cosmetics, commercial products, and food. Examples range from combining inks or pigments to mixing moisturizers or essential oils for cosmetics. The significance of blending in product formulation is recognized, offering expertise in crafting precise blends tailored to specific applications. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e5QgEtws

I am thrilled to share with you the fourth and last scientific paper related to the work done during my #PhD #Research in LGP2 with Nathalie Marlin, Gérard MORTHA and Panagiota Rigou. The paper “Oxidation Treatments Using #HydrogenPeroxide to Convert Paper-Grade Eucalyptus #KraftPulp into Dissolving-Grade Pulp” discusses the effect of two alkaline #Oxidation systems in fully bleached substrates as ways to convert them into #DissolvingPulps for textile applications, and presents a complete characterization analysis that allows a broad understanding of their #DissolvingAbility. Below you will find the link to the open access. Have a good read! LGP2 Réseau
