Eco-friendly approach and potential biodegradable polymer matrix for WPC composite materials in outdoor application [PDF]
, 2019 Blends based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(lactic) acid (PLA) with different ratios of both polymers were produced: a blend with equal amounts of HDPE and PLA, hence 50 wt.% each, proved to be a useful compromise, allowing a high amount of

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Pullulan, a biomass‐derived polysaccharide, is transformed into transparent optical fibers using a solvent‐free borax hydrogel‐spinning method. The fibers outperform PMMA with ≈200 MPa tensile strength and 200 °C stability, while uniquely guiding visible‐to‐NIR light and enabling additive‐free humidity sensing.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A self‐gelling PG@PAC (POD/Gel‐CDH@PA/CHX) powder is developed for infected burn care in austere settings. Upon contact with wound exudate, it instantly forms an adhesive hydrogel, providing simultaneous hemostasis, broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and immunomodulation. In a murine model of S.

Consistently inconsistent: The false promise of ‘sustainable’ plastics
Cambridge Prisms: PlasticsThis perspective explains why the lack of regulation around bioplastics remains a hurdle for the successful development and implementation of a legally binding agreement (the Global Plastics Treaty) by the United Nations Environment Assembly to curb ...

From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

African Journal of Environmental Sciences and Renewable EnergyBiodegradable plastics offer a promising pathway to mitigate Nigeria's mounting plastic pollution by substituting persistent, fossil-based polymers with materials derived from renewable feedstocks that can be mineralised under appropriate conditions. This review assesses the viability of biodegradable plastics as a sustainable and lasting solution to ...

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.
