Fungal biofilms as low-modulus structural biocomposites [PDF]

, 2020
Biofilms are formed by microorganisms that collectively organise at interfaces. They are self-assembling complex fluids consisting of rigid microbial cells embedded in a self-secreted soft biopolymeric extracellular matrix and possess an intricate porous

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
