Thermoplasticization of Bamboo Fibers via Solvent-Free Heterogeneous Esterification with Long-Chain Fatty Acids: Effect of Lignin Removal and Carbon Chain Length

Abstract The development of bio-based thermoplastics from lignocellulosic biomass is of considerable interest for reducing dependence on petroleum-derived plastics. In this work, a solvent-free strategy was proposed to fabricate thermoplasticized bamboo fibers (TBF) via heterogen...

Solubility Measurement, Correlation, Hansen Solubility Parameters, and Solvent Effect of 4-Isopropylbenzoic Acid in Twelve Pure Solvents at Temperatures from 278.15 to 323.15 K

Abstract In this study, the gravimetric method was applied to measure the solubility of 4-isopropylbenzoic acid in 12 pure solvents (2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-propoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl aceta...
