BIODEGRADATION OF PLASTICIZERS BY RHODOTORULA RUBRA

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2003
Abstract The degradation of plasticizers by the yeast Rhodotorula rubra J-96-1 (American Type Culture Collection 9449) in the presence of glucose was studied. The plasticizers included the commonly used bis-2-ethylhexyl adipate (B(EH)A), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), and dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), and the less commonly used dipropylene ...

Bubble Formation Control: Fabrication of Centimeter‐Sized Tissue‐Like Constructs by Catalase‐Coated Oxygen‐Releasing Hydrogel

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐releasing hydrogels are widely used to support cell survival in 3D cultures and to promote wound healing. However, incorporating catalase to convert H2O2 into O2 often generates additional oxygen bubbles, leading to material instability which rarely addressed.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Biodegradable Microplastics: Environmental Fate and Persistence in Comparison to Micro- and Nanoplastics from Traditional, Non-Degradable Polymers

Macromol
The escalating production of virgin plastics has resulted in an unprecedented generation of microplastics (MPs), posing significant environmental and health risks. Biodegradable plastics have emerged as an alternative, but their degradation also releases
