Notice that in Table 2 the numbers do not really say anything/ they are not analyzed but just presented side by side with all of the other materials tested. This is correct for this section because it is just meant to provide the information and point out whether or not it supported their experimental hypothesis; later it will be analyzed in the conclusion sections

Most of the language is specialized and requires back ground knowledge of chemistry (ex. molarity) and even math and engineering with the math equations and ratios used. Although the people reading the article may not know the newer molecules the research is done on, they may be at least familiar with the general type of them because of background in their scientific field. The primary audience is scientists and polymer and material researchers because the article is about polymer and material research.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
One reason I know this is credible is because it follows all the protocol of a scientific report. Follow this link for a step-by-step guide https://www.matrix.edu.au/how-to-write-a-scientific-report/
While it is a usefulmaterial, the industrial production of PET has been tradition-ally based on petroleum-derived materials. To meet theincreasing demand for polymer production, while consideringthe impact on the environment and finite global supply of fossilresources, a surge has occurred in the research of plant-basedbiomass resources to develop the next-generation biobasedalternatives to nonrenewable polymers
The purpose of this article is to present new findings in the innovation of packaging with renewable alternatives for PET. This is made clear by things such as the title, the use of the scientific method in setting up the research paper, and even these two sentences saying why people need to switch to renewables.

Scheme 1 serves as an illustration to provide information about how biomass is broken down into the different molecules presented in the experiment. Thus, it provides a visual explanation perfect for anyone, including scientists, to see exactly how the end product was made, especially since there are so many molecules. They also colored-coded it to help differentiate between different types of things.

This paper presents
The purpose of this article is to present new findings about biobased polymers. I know this because it not only says this but it also explains the entire experiment, then what it means, and why this should be done like in many scientific papers.
Kinetics. The conversion, or extent of reaction (p), was taken interms of the fraction of COOH groups (or OH groups) that havereacted. Thus, p was calculated
Many times, scientists and engineers have to study math and physics in school to be able to apply it to problems, kinetics is a branch of physics. The equations are presented so that other researchers can understand what numbers mean what and the equations could be applied to replications of this experiment and research.
Generally, the greater thecrosslinking density, the higher the heat deflection temperatureand Tg . However, with the increasing crosslinking density, thetoughness decreases requiring a balance between strength andductility for each type of application.
This is one of the main properties the article is trying to research and it is important to know the relationship the ratio can create to understand the article. By providing a definition, the researchers were able to make sure everyone was able to understand better which is what the introduction is mainly there to do.
r (FRP)
In many places, there are abbreviations for different molecules and compounds. This mainly serves to shorten the word as it will have to be repeated a bunch of times but also people, like materials scientists, would probably be familiar with these substances of the type of substance as these are fairly specific substances. This, paired with the article being in the Journal of Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering and being about the research of a new material, makes it clear that scientists in an engineering or chemical field are the main audience.

Throughout, the article uses large and colorful diagrams like this one, labeled figure 2. It also showcases a chart with the specific numbers used in the research. By pairing the chart and illustration, anyone can make some more sense of what has happened. Also the illustrations have been strategically placed in the text so that the words surrounding them explain the experiment. Since this is new research, even scientists and field professionals may need a visual of a new process or the reaction happening to fully grasp the concept.

furan building blocks occupy a prominent position
This nicely sums up why FDCA is useful over the PA; because it often gives a higher glass transition temperature and strength because the furan blocks hold a big place in the monomers for condensation polymers. Other advantages are: * lower aromatic content creating less black smoke when it is burned and better biocompatibility * a better barrier against oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor

Thus, a moresustainable performance of these plastics must involveincorporating the biobased polyester backbone diluted ingreener vinyl reactive monomers to produce eco- or huma
In summary, thermoset resins are used in making fiber reinforced polymers and past research wanted to increase the unsaturated polyester while decreasing the styrene content. To decrease the toxicity, the chemicals must be diluted in a "bio- or less toxic counterpart". The healthier UP resins are dissolved in greener vinyl reactive monomers which have been seen as renewable building blocks. All the while a balance between aliphatic, aromatic, and cyclic compounds must be good to retain or improve upon the mechanical properties of it.

This free and extra information is readily available and expands on the topic of the kinetics of polycondensation, tensile tests, biobased content, and more. The article helps to further explain the reactions and equations used. It makes some procedures even clearer and even gives a picture of the equipment used to carry out the experiment, This shows the authors wanted to make an extremely clear picture that they even gave more information than what was strictly needed in the article.
