Nanoparticles From Infusion Beverage Wastes and Their Effect on PLA/PHB Plasticized Composite Behavior

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the valorization of yerba mate and black tea waste into lignocellulosic nanoparticles (nYM, nBT), incorporated into PLA/PHB films plasticized with maleinized corn oil (MCO). The resulting bionanocomposites exhibited enhanced barrier and mechanical performance, making them suitable for biodegradable food packaging applications ...

Extrusion Coating of Poly(Hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) and Blends: Modifying the Mechanical Properties and Water Vapor Barrier Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poly(hydroxy alkanoates) PHAs are a family of bio‐based and biodegradable polyesters, which are potential sustainable alternatives to fossil‐based and nondegradable plastics. The interest in PHAs ascends from their renewable origin, unique properties, and fast degradation rates in soil and marine conditions. This study focuses on properties of

Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Succinic Acid Production by Engineered Mannheimia succiniciproducens and Its Use in Chemoenzymatic Poly(Butylene Succinate) Synthesis

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Succinic acid is produced by the fermentation of metabolically engineered Mannheimia succiniciproducens, purified, and used to synthesize poly(butylene succinate) using a two‐step process that involves the esterification of succinic acid and ethanol, followed by enzymatic transesterification of diethyl succinate and 1,4‐butanediol.
