Fate of Bioplastics in Composting [PDF]

, 2019
Bioplastics now form part of the collective imagination, even though they have been on the market since 1980s. Production of these materials have been growing; the numbers from European Bioplastics show that 1.13 million tons of bioplastics were produced

A Comparative Study of Bioplastics

, 2023
As a promising and fairly new field, bioplastics are a topic of high interest in the scientific community. Mainly due to their significant environmental benefits compared to traditional plastics, many studies have found good reason to research them.

Operationalising Circular Economy Through Social Innovation: A Systems Thinking‐Based Model for Sustainability Transitions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social innovation (SI) is increasingly recognised as an important enabler of circular economy (CE) transitions. However, existing research offers limited explanation of the processes through which SI operationalises CE principles, as SI and CE have largely evolved in parallel and existing conceptualisations remain predominantly descriptive ...

Citric Acid‐Crosslinked Chitosan Coatings Incorporating Curcumin for Enhancement of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based coating was developed using Chitosan, Citric acid, and Curcumin. Citric acid acts simultaneously as a green solvent and non‐toxic crosslinker. Dry Heat Treatment enhances water resistance and thermal stability, creating an active packaging system with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to extend food shelf‐life.

Naturally coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reports an innovative approach for producing intrinsically coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] films by incorporating natural dyes—turmeric, paprika, annatto, beetroot and hibiscus—directly into the fermentation medium of Ralstonia solanacearum RS.

Investigating Fracture Behavior of Lattice Structures Using the XFEM and Equivalent Solid Material Model Techniques

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to numerically investigate the mode I, II, and III fracture behaviors of additively manufactured degradable, bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) lattice specimens. Numerical simulations were performed using the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) based on the extracted PLA's mechanical and fracture material properties.
