A reactor for continuous synthesis could reduce the cost of biodegradable plastics production

Chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a technology and a reactor for continuous synthesis of monomers that are the feedstock for biodegradable plastics. This will be the world’s first large-scale continuous synthesis reactor suitable for industrial use to obtain high-quality production. The technology and equipment proposed by Tomsk scientists provide the cost reduction of the domestic production of polymers.
