Development of tough, transparent materials from poly(lactic acid) KU Leuven
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-based polymer which is on economic point of view a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene. However, at this time, the properties of PLA limits a variety of applications. One of the main shortcomings is the high brittleness at room temperature, which is partially coupled with the high glass transition temperature (Tg) of PLA (± 60 ° C). This brittleness can be ...

A model-based approach to unravel the driving forces in attrition-enhanced deracemization processess. KU Leuven
Molecular chirality is an important geometrical property with far-reaching implications in the pharmaceutical, food and agrochemical industries. Chiral molecules can exist in two non-superimposable mirror-image forms called enantiomers, which often possess substantially different biological effects. Since most chemical synthetic processes of chiral molecules result in an equimolar mixture of both enantiomers, referred to as a racemic mixture, ...
