Versatile Malic Acid-Based Lactone Monomer and PolyesterMalic acid is converted in two steps to 4-carboxymethylvalerolactone (CMVL), which can be polymerized to make a polyester. The polymer can be chemically recycled, via two different pathways, into two different monomers. One de-polymerization me.....

Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) processes are used toconstruct complex composite parts by combining a fabric mat made of highstrength materials such as glass or carbon and a polymer matrix such as vinylester or epoxy. This invention uses theVacuum Induced Preform Relaxation (VIPR) process which comb.....
