Biodegradable Thermogels

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2011
All living creatures respond to external stimuli. Similarly, some polymers undergo conformational changes in response to changes in temperature, pH, magnetic field, electrical field, or the wavelength of light. In one type of stimuli-responsive polymer, thermogel polymers, the polymer aqueous solution undergoes sol-to-gel transition as the temperature ...

Biodegradable stents and non-biodegradable stents.

Minerva cardioangiologica, 2009
The introduction of the coronary stent in 1986 was one of the most far-reaching changes in the practice of interventional cardiology since its inception in 1977. Despite all the benefits of the using a metallic drug eluting stent (DES), their limitations have generated interest towards biodegradable technology.

The biodegradation of hydroquinone

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1982
AbstractHydroquinone is readily degraded by an acclimated activated sludge unit when present at concentrations of 100 mg/L in synthetic photographic or synthetic domestic wastes. A number of pure cultures of yeasts, fungi, and bacteria were isolated from soil and sludges which can utilize hydroquinone as a sole carbon source.1,4-Benzoquinone, 2-hydroxy-

Biodegradation of EDTA

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1999
The chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) is not degraded by conventional biological and physicochemical methods for the treatment of wastewater and the purification of drinking water. Of the measurable organic compounds it is the one present at the highest concentration in many surface and drinking waters.

Biodegradation of Biodegradable Polymeric Materials

2023
Bioplastics are not just one single material They comprise of a whole family of materials with different properties and applications. According to European Bioplastics, a plastic material is defined as a bioplastic if it is either biobased, biodegradable, or features both properties.Biobased is the material or product (partly) derived from biomass ...
