Dissolution Study of Biodegradable Magnesium Silicide Thin Films for Transient Electronic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) is introduced as a narrow‐bandgap, biodegradable semiconductor for transient electronics. RF‐sputtered and annealed Mg2Si thin films show high intrinsic electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity. The polycrystalline material undergoes hydrolysis in aquatic and composting environments with minimal cytotoxicity ...

Enhanced Energy Harvesting Performance of Biodegradable Polylactic Acid/3D Anodic Aluminum Oxide Composite Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Polylactic acid (PLA) embedded in 3D anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) yields triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with ɛeff = 5.1, delivering 20V and 108µW both per cm2. These agglomeration‐resistant, compostable/biocompatible devices retain 95% output after 104 cycles, enabling robust self‐powered Internet of Things (IoT) sensing.

Biodegradation Behavior of Neat PLA Fibers Under Controlled Industrial Composting Conditions: Fiber Characterization and Physical Changes During the Composting Process

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) biodegradability in fiber form is relatively unexplored. This study shows that the drawing of the fibers during production affects the mechanical properties but slows down the biodegradation of the PLA. Biodegraded undrawn fibers showed peeling whereas drawn fibers showed crack formation on the surface.

Increasing the succinate yield in Actinobacillus succinogenes by fumigation of H2 in a bioreactor

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The microbial conversion of CO2 into value‐added chemicals offers a promising and scalable route for sustainable bioproduction, particularly under mild reaction conditions and with technically straightforward reactor configurations. Actinobacillus succinogenes, a natural succinate producer, can fix CO2 through anaplerotic carboxylation but its

Film Blowing of Biobased Biodegradable Polyesters: Poly (Pentylene Adipate‐co‐Terephthalate) and Poly (Dodecylene Furanoate)

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Two novel biobased and biodegradable polyesters are explored as replacements for commercial PBAT and LLDPE in flexible film applications. Although some differences exist between these new materials and the commercial materials, nothing appears to disqualify these new materials as being acceptable as drop‐in replacements for flexible film applications ...

Flow-enhanced nucleation of poly(1-butene) : model application to short-term and continuous shear and extensional flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A modeling framework for flow-enhanced nucleation of polymers is applied to a broad set of data from literature. Creation of flow-induced pointlike nuclei is coupled to chain stretch of the high-molecular weight tail of the material, calculated with a ...

A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...
