New Continuous Isosorbide Production from Sorbitol: Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) Agriculture Project Fact Sheet

NREL

    Research output: NREL › Fact Sheet

    Abstract

    Isosorbide is a new polymer additive derived from corn (via sorbitol) that when copolymerized with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), increases the strength and rigidity of the plastic. This project will develop an conomically-viable, continuous catalytic process to convert sorbitol to isosorbide.
