New families of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural derived biopolymers [PDF]
, 2023 Diminishing oil reserves, increasing demand, and the rising costs of petroleum-based raw materials associated with waste production has encouraged the plastic industry to seek substitute feedstocks from renewable sources [1]. As a result, the interest in

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Assembly of the Cutin Polyester: From Cells to Extracellular Cell Walls
Plants, 2017 Cuticular matrices covering aerial plant organs or delimiting compartments in these organs are composed of an insoluble hydrophobic polymer of high molecular mass, i.e., cutin, that encompass some cell wall polysaccharides and is filled by waxes.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Biopolymers as a sustainable solution for the enhancement of soil mechanical properties
Scientific Reports, 2020 Improving soil engineering properties is an inevitable process before construction on soft soil. Increasing soil strength with chemical stabilizing agents, such as cement, raises environmental concerns. Therefore, sustainable solutions are in high demand.
