Iowa State team develops hybrid technology to create biorenewable nylon
Green Car Congress
FEBRUARY 9, 2016
Engineers at Iowa State University have developed a hybrid process that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6—which has the advantage of an extra double bond in its backbone that can be used to tailor the polymer’s properties. Their study is published in the 12 Feb. Resources. Carraher, N.
