56 results about "Bioplastic" patented technology

Bioplastics are plastic materials produced from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, recycled food waste, etc. Bioplastic can be made from agricultural by-products and also from used plastic bottles and other containers using microorganisms. Common plastics, such as fossil-fuel plastics (also called petrobased polymers) are derived from petroleum or natural gas. Not all bioplastics are biodegradable nor biodegrade more readily than commodity fossil-fuel derived plastics. Bioplastics are usually derived from sugar derivatives, including starch, cellulose, and lactic acid. As of 2014, bioplastics represented approximately 0.2% of the global polymer market (300 million tons).

Lignocellulosic bioplastics and composites, and methods for forming and use thereof

A solid lignocellulosic bioplastic can be formed from a biomass comprising an intertwined structure of lignin, hemi-cellulose, and cellulose. The lignin in the biomass can be dissolved such that the cellulose is fibrillated. After the lignin dissolution and cellulose fibrillation, the lignin can be regenerated in situ. The regenerated lignin can be deposited on and can form hydrogen bonds between the fibrillated cellulose, so as to form a slurry of lignin-cellulose solids in solution. The slurry can then be dried to form the bioplastic. In some embodiments, the lignin is dissolved by immersing the biomass in a first chemical. The lignin can then be regenerated in situ by addition of a second chemical to the first chemical.
