Application

  • The resulting materials, HS and PHS, have a wide range of applications, spanning from electronics and personal care to consumer products, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances.

Description

Conagen and Sumitomo Chemical have announced a joint development project to produce p-hydroxystyrene (HS) and its polymer, poly p-hydroxystyrene (PHS) from renewable biomass using a combination of biosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and polymerization, resulting in 100% renewable carbon materials.

Pathway Description:

The conversion of renewable biomass into p-hydroxystyrene (HS) and its polymer, poly p-hydroxystyrene (PHS), is achieved through a combination of biosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and polymerization.
