Sustainable bioplastics manufacturing from renewable sources
Bioplastics are manufactured by using polymers from different bio‐based sources. These novel materials not only offer biodegradability but also possess various functional properties that make them suitable for diverse applications. Recent developments in the preparation of bioplastics are reported, highlighting the distinct properties of each type of ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Nanoperforations in poly(lactic acid) free-standing nanomembranes to promote interactions with cell filopodia [PDF]
Nanoperforated poly(lactic acid) (PLA) free-standing nanomembranes (FsNMs) have been prepared using a two-step process: (1) spin-coating a mixture of immiscible polymers to provoke phase segregation and formation of appropriated nanofeatures (i.e.

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) Films Over One and Ten Months of Aging [PDF]
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic, biodegradable, and bioactive polymer obtained from renewable resources such as beets and potatoes. PLA is regarded as a polymer that is nearly brittle, which can restrict its applications in the packaging ...
