Hi Tony, I would be happy to chat. Please connect with me via LinkedIn so we can set up a call. We have done some exciting work with polyimide. I look forward to sharing this with you. Best, Eric

Tony, I appreciate how hard it is to develop a new polymer. When we founded BioAmber the mandate was to develop new polymers and chemicals from succinate as a C4 intermediate. We were keenly interested in polybutylene succinate and how PBS could be co-polymerized with polylactides to improve the perfomance of polylactides as a food packaging material. We partnered with Cargill to develop this novel family of co-polymers.

Now, I spend my days utilizing advanced nanofabrication to develop new applications of existing polymers. They components are used as a component to nanostructured composites that deliver far more structural and functional properties than micron scale materials and on cost parity. We are not developing new polymers but rather developing very compelling (novel) applications to extend their product life.

I enjoy reading your newsletter. Eric

We use PLA quite a bit in hydraulic fracturing due to the properties that you just stated. You learn something every day.
