Biodegradable Sensors in Environmental Monitoring

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
The increasing need for sustainable and eco-friendly environmental monitoring solutions has driven advancements in biodegradable sensor technology. Traditional sensors, while effective in collecting data on soil health, pollution levels, and climate patterns, contribute to electronic waste (e-waste) and environmental degradation due to their reliance ...

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

Biodegradability and the estimation of environmental concentration

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1979
Abstract In order to assess the environmental acceptability of a chemical we need to estimate both the lowest concentration at which it will cause adverse effects and the highest concentrations which are likely to be present in the environment.

Biointerface Membranes Orchestrating Site‐Specific Osteoimmunomodulatory and Antibacterial Effects for Enhanced Osseous Regeneration in Periodontal Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, a biointerface membrane engineered with site‐specific interfacial properties is developed. During implantation between gingival and bone defect, the membrane creates a pro‐osteogenic microenvironment, precisely modulates cellular activities at each biointerface, and facilitates the orchestration of complex healing events, ultimately leading to ...

Environmental impacts of biodegradable microplastics

Nature Chemical Engineering
AbstractBiodegradable plastics, perceived as ‘environmentally friendly’ materials, may end up in natural environments. This impact is often overlooked in the literature due to a lack of assessment methods. This study develops an integrated life cycle impact assessment methodology to assess the climate-change and aquatic-ecotoxicity impacts of ...
