Thermo-mechanical characterization of PHB/PCL blend incorporated with carbon nanotubes

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a polymer with great application potential; however, its brittleness and low mechanical strength restrict its use in many fields. This study investigated a strategy to overcome the mechanical limitations of PHB by blending it

Cyanobacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB): Screening, Optimization and Characterization

PLoS ONE, 2016
In modern life petroleum-based plastic has become indispensable due to its frequent use as an easily available and a low cost packaging and moulding material. However, its rapidly growing use is causing aquatic and terrestrial pollution.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Bioactive ceramic-reinforced composites for bone augmentation [PDF]

, 2010
Biomaterials have been used to repair the human body for millennia, but it is only since the 1970s that man-made composites have been used. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced polyethylene (PE) is the first of the ‘second-generation’ biomaterials that have ...

Direct Probing of Trap Dynamics in β‐Ga2O3 Schottky Barrier Diodes Using Single‐Voltage‐Pulse Characterization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A single‐pulse approach uncovers trap dynamics in β‐Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diodes. Transient current profiling reveals rapid electron capture, delayed trap filling, and clear thermal effects. Extracted trap densities, capture time constants, and activation energies indicate that this simple pulse technique enables effective evaluation of trap states ...

Genetic characterization of a novel Salinicola salarius isolate applied for the bioconversion of agro-industrial wastes into polyhydroxybutyrate

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has emerged as a promising eco-friendly alternative to traditional petrochemical-based plastics. In the present study, we isolated and characterized a new strain of Salinicola salarius, a halophilic bacterium, from ...

Novel processing of polyhydroxybutyrate with micro- to nanofibrillated cellulose and effect of fiber morphology on crystallization behaviour of composites

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2020
In this work, the intrinsic drawbacks of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) such as slow crystallization rate, secondary crystallization and brittle nature were improved by blending with bio-based fillers, i.e. nanofibrillated/microfibrillated cellulose (NFC/MFC).

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N-Cycling Bacterium. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.
