Mike has vast industry knowledge and a unique perspective that he has gained from leading Packaging Development at DePuy Orthopaedic Companies of Johnson & Johnson as well as holding various roles in the medical packaging industry as New Product Development and Operations Manager. Biodegradable products are very useful in medical applications. The intrinsic features of polyurethane polymers - such as elasticity, clarity, and tunable mechanical properties - are found to be key in industrial and personal care applications. Continuous research went into polymer science to produce plastics for specific applications; however, use of agricultural, bio-renewable feedstock for plastic materials remained a novelty for some time due to the discovery of petroleum. From all the parallel symposia there was a great mix of chemistry ranging from polymers for biomedical applications to greener methods to produce polymers. Keep in mind, PLA and other biodegradable polymers have no practical infrastructure for recycling and can only be biodegraded in commercial composting facilities. For the use in pharmaceutical purposes, they are simple classified into natural and synthetic polymers. One of the acids, lactic acid, has received considerable attention as the basis of biodegradable plastics with a host of potential industrial applications. These include education and international policies, math, medicine, pharmacy, biology, agriculture and forestry, engineering and industry, physics, chemistry, earth and space sciences, veterinary, social sciences, and the humanities P. Polymers are classified in several ways. Coverage Of Three Parts Of The Chinese Medical Polymer Industry: Medical Resins And Fibers, Medical Elastomers, And Biodegradable Medical Polymer Materials. Therefore, many of the biopolymers that are used for engineering applications are blended with other oil-based polymers, which lead to a significant reduction in the renewable content of the compounded bioplastic. Understanding structure-property relationships of polyurethanes is A Knoevenagel condensation synthetic approach for preparing polymer precursors and solution polymerization methods utilized to yield biodegradable polymers. When you I spent quite a lot of time in the biodegradable and sustainable polymers symposium today where the talks ranged from polymers made from isosorbide – a chemical made from the glucose in corn, to polymers such as polyurethanes made from vegetable or soybean oil. Sumera (Professor of Chemistry, Material Science and Engineering, UP-Diliman), for his work on the synthesis of coconut fatty acid derivatives for biofuels and biodegradable polymers with potential environmental and medical use.
