Fungi are considered a promising source of biodegradable materials. Researchers have developed a new material based on a fungal mycelium and its own extracellular matrix. This gives the biomaterial ...

Producer of recycled-content polymers made from discarded carpeting has initiated a Chapter 11 process at a bankruptcy court in its home state of Texas. Circular Polymers by Ascend produces ...

So, today wanted to share with you part of our research which is black soldier flies and in breeding black soldier flies we're looking to create a true biodegradable polymer that's chitin. And then we ...

ABSTRACT: In order to assess microplastic content in personal care products in Pakistan, 103 body scrubs and face washes were randomly selected in August-October 2021 from different markets in Jhang, ...

Energy utility giant E.ON has entered into a collaboration agreement with UK-based technology firm Superdielectrics to advance the development of a novel polymer-based battery technology ...

Polymer clay is gaining popularity largely due to its exceptional flexibility, especially with jewelry artisans. Its moldability and resilience make it perfect for crafting detailed patterns and ...

These illustrations show polymers (the long tubes) filled with perfect (top, graphite) or imperfect (bottom, graphite oxide) fillers. Credit: Yijie Zhou, UMass Amherst The UMass Amherst-led team is ...

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can connect through their backbones and cross-linked molecules to form multipurpose plastics. The makeup of polymer chains determines how strong, ...

The ACS GCI Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC) is a group committed to exploring the utilization of natural polymers to accelerate the development of more sustainable functional materials. Launched in ...

But what if there were a way to break down market-dominant synthetic polymers as if they were biodegradable? Enzymes might be a solution. Synthetic polymers don’t exist in the wild, but similar ...
