According to foreign media reports, Japanese scientists have used natural materials as building materials to create the most heat-resistant plastic in history
.
This biologically-derived plastic not only has better properties than traditional plastics in some respects, but also paves the way for the green production of this ubiquitous material
.
? Most of the plastics in circulation today are synthetic.
They are all extracted from crude oil, natural gas and coal, but recently there has been an alternative in the form of bioplastics, which is composed of plants, eggshells, and chicken feathers.
Even the by-products of tequila are made from biomass
.
Making plastics in this way can not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but also make materials that are more environmentally friendly once used, which can be degraded in a short period of time
.
But there are many challenges to improve their performance, because bioplastics cannot provide the same properties as petroleum-based plastics, including strength and flexibility, but the team behind this new research has targeted a special feature : Stability at high temperatures
.
A research team composed of scientists from the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology of Japan and the University of Tokyo found raw materials from the process of kraft paper pulp.
Kraft paper can make wood pulp and extract two aromatic molecules from it, namely AHBA and ABA
.
These molecules are converted into polymers by combining with recombinant microorganisms and other chemicals, which are then processed into heat-resistant membranes
.
The final product is a light organic plastic, and the researchers did not add any heavy inorganic fillers during the production process
.
It is understood that this material has the highest heat resistance ever, with a temperature resistance of more than 740 degrees Celsius
.
The team believes that this technology can also be applied to other types of plastics to improve their performance
.
The team wrote: "This innovative macromolecular design increases heat resistance.
It can be widely used in well-processable plastics and then used to produce lightweight materials and is expected to contribute to the sustainable development of society
