Oxoplastics, Bioplastics, and their Potential of Microplastics Generation (Case Study: Indonesia)
Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2023 Plastics are still becoming popular topic in public news. This was initiated by some sea-animals that was trapped by plastic straws, plastic fishing net, and the other plastic packaging.

Plant cells-based biological matrix composites [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The global increase in materials consumption calls for innovative materials, with tailored performance and multi-functionality, that are environmentally sustainable. Composites from renewable resources offer solutions to fulfil these demands but have so far been dominated by hybrid petrochemicals-based matrixes reinforced by natural fillers.

Biodegradability of plastics: the pitfalls
Applied Environmental Biotechnology, 2017 Biodegradation of plastics as a research topic has received increasing attention due to their recalcitrant nature and large quantities, but little progresses and new information have been made available recently in the literature. In this context, plastics properties as a substrate, microorganisms responsible for degradation, assessment techniques and ...

Biodegradation of plastics at home composting conditions
Environmental Challenges, 2022 Plastics have become an ever-increasing environmental pollution problem since high amounts of them are dumped every year into the environment. To remediate this problem, many proposals attempt to produce new plastics with the same sound characteristics ...

Biodegradation rate of biodegradable plastics at molecular level
Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2018 Abstract Plastics are solid materials where biodegradation happens on the surface. Only the surface is affected by biodegradation while the inner part should not be readily available for biodegradation. Thus, at a laboratory level, the biodegradation rate is expected to be a function of the surface area of the tested sample.

Pyrophosphate‐Containing Calcium Phosphates Negatively Impact Heterotopic Bone Quality
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The role of calcium pyrophosphate (Ca‐PP) in heterotopic bone formation and material degradation is investigated using calcium phosphate (CaP) compositions with varying Ca‐PP content. Results show that Ca‐PP does not impede heterotopic bone formation, minimally affects CaP degradation at non‐osseous sites, and increases phagocytosis.
