Mechanisms for PLA Degradation: In the presence of water (1), PLA undergoes hydrolysis (2) as a pure chemical process of polymer degradation during which low molecular weight intermediates (3 ...

Did a Georgia man named Julian Brown invent the process for turning waste plastic into useful fuel? No, that's not true: ...

Traditional hydrolysis methods do not exceed 74.5 milligrams per gram of hydrolyzed stover. Thus, the yield increases six-fold while reducing time and energy costs.

Scientists in China have developed a precise method to grow titanium dioxide nanorod arrays with controllable spacing, ...

Traditional hydrolysis methods do not exceed 74.5 milligrams per gram of hydrolyzed stover. Thus, the yield increases six-fold while reducing time and energy costs.

In the study three hydrolysis methods were assessed: enzymatic hydrolysis (EH), acid pre-treatment plus enzymatic hydrolysis (PEH), and acid hydrolysis (AH). These reactions dramatically increased the ...
