Biodegradable plastics hold potential for reducing marine plastic pollution, but degrade too quickly, limiting their practical use. Researchers from Gunma University now show that crab shell ...
Biopolymers have a variety of possible applications due to their renewable characteristics and their potential biodegradability. Biopolymers are polymers that are either bio-based, biodegradable, or ...
PROMOFER project focuses on different strategies to overcome key industrial bottlenecks in the fermentation processes of two high-value bio-based compounds: PHBV and 2,3-BDO. Funded by the European ...
If the over-reliance on petroleum for plastics production is not already a problem, the plastics pollution crisis is and will remain the most concerning environmental issue for citizens across the ...
Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...
Researchers report that crab shell waste can impair degeneration of biodegradable plastics in marine environments by altering their surface microbiome Biodegradable plastics hold potential for ...
