Polymer researchers from the University of Groningen and the NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, both located in the Netherlands, have designed a new polymer membrane from biobased malic acid.
The new vitrimer membrane is made by pressing and sintering polymers from the natural monomer malic acid. This membrane can be recycled by ball milling and subsequent pressing and sintering. Image Credit: Chongnan Ye, University of Groningen.
