The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Bacterial biodegradation of synthetic plastics: a review

Bulletin of the National Research Centre
Background Plastics are synthetic polymers that are reluctant to degradation. Therefore, their unlimited use has caused environmental problems. The reuse, reduce, and recycle methodology can solve these problems. However, this method is not efficient for

The effect of biodegradation on surface and bulk property changes of polypropylene, recycled polypropylene and polylactide biocomposites

, 2009
Biocomposites were subject to exposure to a mixture of fungi and algae in a microenvironment chamber. Surface and bulk property changes of polypropylene/wood flour, recycled polypropylene/cellulose and polylactide/wood flour were monitored by tensile ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Development of a Bioreactor-Based Model for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Biodegradation by Aspergillus brasiliensis

Universitas Scientiarum
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a widely used polymer due to its chemical resistance, highflexibility, and mechanical properties. However, its low degradation rate, coupled with its low lifespanand widespread accumulation, poses significant ...

Iron‐Tannic Acid Hydrogel Mediated Mild Photothermal Therapy Combined With Ferroptosis Enhances Anti‐Tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable gelatin‐based tannic acid–iron hydrogel with mild photothermal therapy could not only induce immunogenic cell death, but also elicit ferroptosis of both tumor cells and tumor‐associated macrophages, resulting in DC maturation, T‐cell infiltration and down‐regulation of ferroptosis‐sensitive M2‐type TAMs levels.

Morphological, thermal, and biodegradation properties of LLDPE/treated date palm waste composite buried in a soil environment

Journal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2019
In this study, date palm waste that was naturally treated as a filler in a linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix was recycled to prepare green composites. Two types of LLDPE, based on basic additives, were used.
