Deep Eutectic Solvent‐Enhanced PEDOT: PSS/NR Foam Piezoresistive Sensor for High‐Sensitivity Wearable Devices and Sleep Monitoring Applications

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A high‐performance piezoresistive foam sensor is developed by integrating natural rubber, PEDOT: PSS, and a deep eutectic solvent (DES). DES effectively detaches insulating PSS from PEDOT, dramatically amplifying electrical conductivity and sensitivity.

The biochemical mechanisms of plastic biodegradation

FEMS Microbiology Reviews
Abstract Since the invention of the first synthetic plastic, an estimated 12 billion metric tons of plastics have been manufactured, 70% of which was produced in the last 20 years. Plastic waste is placing new selective pressures on humans and the organisms we depend on, yet it also places new pressures on microorganisms as they compete ...
