Biodegradable and Implantable Triboelectric Nanogenerator Improved by β‐Lactoglobulin Fibrils‐Assisted Flexible PVA Porous Film

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are highly promising as implantable, degradable energy sources and self‐powered sensors. However, the degradable triboelectric materials are often limited in terms of contact electrification and mechanical properties.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Production of biosurfactant by locally isolated bacteria from petrochemical waste [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Ten bacterial strains previously isolated from petrochemical wastes were selected for the screening of biosurfactant producer(s), via four different methods; (i) surface tension measurements, (ii) blood hemolysis test, (iii) drop-collapsing test, and (iv)

Fully Bio‐Based Gelatin Organohydrogels via Enzymatic Crosslinking for Sustainable Soft Strain and Temperature Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Enzymatically crosslinked gelatin‐based organohydrogels, fabricated through a fully bio‐based and scalable process, exhibit exceptional strain and temperature sensing capabilities with minimal interference from environmental humidity. These transparent, stretchable, and ionically conductive materials operate without synthetic fillers or dopants.

Boosting landfill gas production from lignin-containing wastes via termite hindgut microorganism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Lignocellulose comprises a significant portion of municipal solid waste (MSW) - 40-70% in developed countries, including paper, wood, and yard waste. Cellulose and hemicellulose are often shielded by lignin, posing a barrier to waste decomposition and ...

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...
