Fungal Enzymes Involved in Plastics Biodegradation
Microorganisms, 2022 Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem, in part due to the extremely stable and durable nature of this polymer. As recycling does not provide a complete solution, research has been focusing on alternative ways of degrading plastic.

Potential of Advanced Oxidation as Pretreatment for Microplastics Biodegradation
Separations, 2023 In the last two decades, microplastics (MP) have been identified as an emerging environmental pollutant. Due to their small size, MP particles may easily enter the food chain, where they can have adverse effects on organisms and the environment in ...

Bio-inspired Synthetic Ivory as a Sustainable Material for Piano Keys [PDF]
Sustainability 2019, 11(23), 6538, 2019 Natural ivory is no longer readily or legally available, as it is obtained primarily from elephant tusks, which now enjoy international protection. Ivory, however, is the best material known for piano keys. We present a hydroxylapatite-gelatin biocomposite that is chemically identical to natural ivory but with functional properties optimized to replace
