A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Polymers that demonstrated the feasibility of using natural fibers, specifically pineapple leaf fiber (PALF), for the fabrication of polymer composites.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed immersion precipitation printing for the non-templated manufacturing of patterned fluoropolymer membranes.
A team of Florida State University researchers has uncovered a way to use low-energy light to manipulate photopolymers or plastic films -; a finding that has implications for a wide range of technologies that use light as an energy source to create shape-shifting structures.
Researchers reviewed the use of conjugated polymer-based electronic tongues (CPETs) in different applications in the food and beverage industry in a new paper.
In a review recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers presented a holistic view of advanced polymeric nanocomposites for applications in water treatment.
A novel approach developed by researchers at the University of Birmingham could be used to cover the roots of plants with environments that support bacterial development, resulting in stronger, healthier plants and increased agrarian yields in agriculture.
The cultivation of silk has been done for centuries with the help of domesticated silkworms. However, it has been hard to commercially produce spider silk in the majority as a result of their cannibalistic tendencies.
A Rutgers scientist has created a biodegradable, plant-based coating that can be sprayed on foods to protect them from pathogenic and spoilage microbes as well as transportation harm, to develop ecologically acceptable alternatives to plastic food wrap and containers.
Plastic pollution is a critical environmental issue which requires innovative approaches to mitigate the level of plastic waste entering the environment. Now, a review paper has been published in Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing evaluating the potential use of solid-state photocatalysis for tackling plastic pollution.
Polymers, which are huge molecules built up of smaller molecules that repeat, are present in almost everything humans use in their daily lives. Polymers can be either natural or man-made. DNA, proteins, and materials like silk, gelatin, and collagen are examples of natural polymers, often known as biopolymers.
