Zusammenfassung

Most of today's polymer products are made from fossil resources, and due to the linearity of today's plastic economy massive environmental issues like microplastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are associated with the use of plastics. Therefore, the central question is how to design polymer products that have the desired functionality and how to mitigate the environmental burden. Bioplastics such as polylactide are often discussed as viable alternatives to common plastics. However, research is focused on the lab scale. A grand challenge is the successful translation of achievements in...
