Biodegradation and characterization study of compostable PLA bioplastic containing algae biomass as potential degradation accelerator

open access: yes, 2021
This study demonstrated the degradation behavior of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA)/algae biomass biocomposites under abiotic (58 ± 2°C) and at thermophilic composting conditions (58 ± 2°C). In the biodegradation study, laboratory synthesized, custom-made poly(

Experiments in Predicting Biodegradability [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 1999
This paper is concerned with the use of AI techniques in ecology. More specifically, we present a novel application of inductive logic programming (ILP) in the area of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). The activity we want to predict is the biodegradability of chemical compounds in water.

Maskless Fabrication of PLA‐Based Neural Arrays for CNS Recording and Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Biodegradable neural interfaces enable bidirectional communication with the CNS. Through electrochemical characterization, ageing tests with impedance monitoring, and in vivo validation, we assess the performance of PLA‐based epicortical and spinal implants.

Large‐Scale and Cost‐Effective Fabrication of Ultra‐Thin, Biodegradable Microelectrode Arrays and Pressure Sensors Using Laser Micromachining

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A mask‐free and cost‐effective UV‐pico‐second laser‐based microfabrication method is proposed to fabricate large‐area biodegradable microelectrode arrays and pressure sensors. These devices demonstrate low impedance, good conformability, excellent biocompatibility, and rapid degradation, providing a new route for next‐generation transient electronics ...

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Effect of Alloying Mn by Selective Laser Melting on the Microstructure and Biodegradation Properties of Pure Mg

open access: yesMetals, 2020
This work studied the effect of alloying Mn by selective laser melting on the microstructure and biodegradation properties of pure Mg. The grains in the microstructure were quasi-polygon in shape. The average grain size was similar (~10 μm) for the SLMed

Synergistic biodegradation of aromatic-aliphatic copolyester plastic by a marine microbial consortium

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The degradation of synthetic polymers by marine microorganisms is not as well understood as the degradation of plastics in soil and compost. Here, we use metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics to study the biodegradation of an aromatic ...
