Soil-release polymers (SRPs) are important components of fabric care formulations, performing important roles in the cleaning of synthetic fabrics. SRPs modify the surface of textiles and render materials resistant to staining, while offering environ... Read More about Surface Modification of Polyesters Using Biosourced Soil-Release Polymers.

Designing biodegradable alternatives to commodity polymers (2023)
Journal Article
Fiandra, E. F., Shaw, L., Starck, M., McGurk, C. J., & Mahon, C. S. (2023). Designing biodegradable alternatives to commodity polymers. Chemical Society Reviews, 23(52), 8085-8105. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3cs00556a

The development and widespread adoption of commodity polymers changed societal landscapes on a global scale. Without the everyday materials used in packaging, textiles, construction and medicine, our lives would be unrecognisable. Through decades of...
