Biodegradable packaging materials
Polymer Bulletin, 2021Packaging of food is required to ensure the safe handling and distribution of processed food products from the spot of production to the boundary consumer. Polymers and bioactive compounds are used as surrogates for the production of biodegradable food wrappings to ameliorate the nutritional value and improve the shelf life of highly putrescible food ...

Biodegradable material for bladder reconstruction
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1975AbstractThe objective of this study was to develop a biodegradable material for use in reconstructive surgery of the bladder to serve a temporary function until normal regrowth of the host's tissue is completed. The biodegradable material can serve as a base over which the new bladder can regenerate. At the conclusion of the regrowth of the new tissue,

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2015
Biodegradable implants allow clarity in postoperative imaging, easier revision, and fewer concerns about associated tissue damage. It is important to appreciate that different biodegradable materials have different properties and different degradation rates. Faster degradation can be associated with a greater inflammatory response.

Biodegradable Thermoplastic Materials
Progress in Rubber and Plastics Technology, 1999The accumulation of plastics waste is a menace of gigantic proportions to the environment. Considering the attractive properties of plastics they will continue to be used in large amounts by the industry and the general public. The strategy to be adopted in this situation is to develop plastic materials that can be easily degraded by the environment ...

Biodegradation of composite materials
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 1996Fiber-reinforced polymer composites were examined for susceptibility to microbiologically-influenced degradation. Composites, resins, and fibers were exposed to sulfur/iron-oxidizing, calcareous-depositing, ammonium-producing, hydrogen-producing, and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in batch culture.

Biodegradation of Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
2023Bioplastics are not just one single material They comprise of a whole family of materials with different properties and applications. According to European Bioplastics, a plastic material is defined as a bioplastic if it is either biobased, biodegradable, or features both properties.Biobased is the material or product (partly) derived from biomass ...

Complications of Biodegradable Materials
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2015Metal, plastic, and biodegradable implants can all cause problems. The advantage of the biodegradable implant is clarity in postoperative imaging, easier revision, and fewer concerns about associated tissue damage. Although biodegradable implants do degrade over time, this time varies considerably, depends upon the polymer present, and is often ...
