A research team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) led by chemist Volker Sieber has developed a new polyamide family which can be produced from a byproduct of cellulose production. The picture shows the monomeric unit of the resulting poly-3S-caranamide.
