Polyester plastics, commonly found in synthetic textiles and plastic components of home appliances, are notoriously difficult ...

"Our transesterification process is a practical and sustainable candidate for industrial (meth)acrylate ester synthesis, providing excellent chemoselectivity, high yields, mild reaction conditions ...

The process necessitates the transesterification of triglycerides with methanol or ethanol to generate long chain fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), as exhibited in Fig. 1. Figure 1. Mechanism for the ...

Researchers also claimed that transesterification reactions were successful using inexpensive, abundant waste cooking oil from a major fast-food chain, as well as soybean oil, corn oil, olive oil, and ...
