EcoSynthetix has developed a novel polymer based on starch nanoparticles. The performance of this polymer, which is derived from renewable crop resources, has exceptional performance and is high-performance alternative to conventional petrochemical-based binding agents in paints, coating, and adhesives. The goal of this project is to characterize the nanoscale structure and chemistry of these materials using a unique suite of correlated functional imaging tools and technologies. Insights from these studies will have a direct impact on product quality, manufacturing processes, and new product development.

EcoSynthetix开发了一种基于淀粉纳米颗粒的新型聚合物。该聚合物来源于可再生作物资源，具有优异的性能，是涂料、涂料和粘合剂中传统石化类粘合剂的高性能替代品。该项目的目标是利用一套独特的相关功能成像工具和技术来表征这些材料的纳米级结构和化学性质。从这些研究中获得的见解将对产品质量、制造过程和新产品开发产生直接影响。
