Soy based bio-plastics have been prepared by cooking with a plasticizer and blending with a biodegradable poly(ester amide) (94). The biocomposites thus prepared were blended with chopped industrial hemp fiber via twin screw extrusion and also by an injection molding process. [Pg.124]

Natural plastics/bio-plastics or organic plastics are special type of biomaterials, made from renewable biomass sources such as vegetable oil, com starch, pea starch, or microbiota, rather than fossil-fuel plastics which are derived from petroleum. [Pg.48]

Bio plastics are plastics made of renewable resources, biodegradable and in some cases they may not be compostable or biodegradable. Bio plastics are made from sugar cane, starch, com and contain little amoimt of petroleum or oil contents (Singh, Sharma, and Malviya, 2011 Srinivasa and Tharanathan, 2007). Table 8 shows the comparison between conventional plastic to a bio plastic and the energy necessities for bio bag product as shown in table 9. [Pg.107]

Part V, Bio-Based Monomers and Polymers, touches the world of bio-plastics. Far beyond the pioneering production of natural poly-hydroxyalkanoates more than 30 years ago, industrial biotechnology today offers a full range of materials. Important budding blocks for bio-based nylons, polyesters, polyurethanes, and other polymers are diamines (Chapter 13) and carboxylic acids (Chapters 14 and 15), both accessible through fermentation processes from renewables. [Pg.3]

The success of such highly innovative products is linked to the achievement of high quality standards. In the field of bioplastics, quality mainly means environmental quality. Standardisation Committees at national and international level have been working for many years in the definition of standard test methods to assure the biodegradability and full environmental compatibility of the new bio-plastics. Standards such as the European EN 13432 on the compostability of packaging (CEN TC261SC4WG2) and other related norms at international level are now in place, whereas standards on biodegradation of bioplastics in soil are still under discussion.

Soybean oil is an abundant annually renewable resource. It is composed of triglycerides with long chain saturated and unsaturated hitty acids. The presence of these unsaturated tty acids results in poor oxidative stability. However, this enhanced reactivity also allows for chemical modification to introduce new functionalities to the oil. A novel single-step catalytic ozonolysis and in-situ reaction will be described. The reaction proceeds rapidly and efficiently at room temperature in the absence of solvents. The catalytic ozonolysis reaction has been used to reduce the unsaturation in soybean oil, and successfiiliy prepare a number of potentially useful materials such as bio-lubricants with good thermal/oxidative stability, bio-diesel with thermal properties comparable to that of Diesel Fuel 2, and bio-plastic intermediates such as polyols, polyesters, and polyamides. This new class of soy-based materials is competitive both in cost and performance to petroleum based nuterials and offers the added advantage of being environmentally friendly and sustainable.
