Biocomposite manufacturing: the ESTELLA project

La Chimica e l'Industria
The ESTELLA project aims to develop and produce sustainable thermoset epoxy composites, impacting the entire materials value chain, in particular by introducing covalent adaptable networks (CAN) in fossil- and bio-based matrices and fibres following the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) approach.

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

Mechanical performance of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced polylactic acid biocomposites [PDF]

, 2018
To-date, there is a large body of knowledge in the literature on the development of biocomposites. Nonetheless, some of the main limitation is the brittleness of the biocomposites when using PLA matrix which lead to relatively poor mechanical performance

The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11187-11199, 20 June 2026.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11409-11428, 20 June 2026.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Antibiotic‐Impregnated Calcium Sulfate Beads for Local Therapy of Severe Skull Base Osteomyelitis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Novel Local Therapy of Severe Skull Base Osteomyelitis. ABSTRACT We report on a patient with severe progressive osteomyelitis of the lateral skull base, despite targeted long‐term antibiotic therapy. Successful treatment and recovery of the facial nerve palsy were achieved through additional surgical debridement and insertion of synthetic calcium ...
