Producing Blends of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate and Blood Meal That Are Safe to Render. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2023
Single-use plastic hygiene control products used during red meat processing can have severe negative impacts on the environment and cannot be processed with offal during rendering into meat and bone meal. However, plastics made from protein could potentially solve this problem as the material would be safe to render.

Influence of the Ultrasonic Treatment on the Properties of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate, Modified by Antimicrobial Additive. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2020
Particular attention is paid to biodegradable materials from the environmental point of view and antimicrobial materials that ensure the microbiological safety of packaged products. The aim of the work was to study the properties of the composition, based on biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and the antimicrobial additive—birch ...

Enzymatic and microbial routes to bioplastics: The green chemistry frontier of biopolymers. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Microbial biosynthesis and engineered enzyme platforms are expanding the design space of polyhydroxyalkanoate bioplastics. By combining fermentation, PHA synthase engineering and cell‐free modular systems, tailored biodegradable polymers can be produced with tunable properties, supporting more sustainable materials and future circular bioeconomy ...

Towards Sustainable Production of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate: Non-Biological Catalytic Syntheses of Biomass-Derived Constituents. [PDF]

ChemSusChem
AbstractRenewable chemicals, which are made from renewable resources such as biomass, have attracted significant interest as substitutes for natural gas‐ or petroleum‐derived chemicals to enhance the sustainability of the chemical and petrochemical industries. Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), which is a copolyester of 1,4‐butanediol (1,4‐BDO),

Priming Effects on Soil Organic Matter Mineralization by Carbon Substrates: A Global Meta‐Analysis [PDF]

Global change biology.
Positive priming effect is a common phenomenon in soil ecosystems, with plant residues inducing the highest average priming effect, followed by root exudates and biochar. ABSTRACT Priming effects (PE) on soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization depend strongly on the type of carbon substrates added. It is crucial to understand the PE induced by various

Impact of seaweeds on tensile, thermal and viscoelasticity behavior of polybutylene adipate terephthalate-based composites [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In the current study, a composite was produced using Kappaphycus alvarezii (K.Alvarezii) as filler with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). The varying concentrations of K.Alvarezii (10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40wt%) were used to determine ...
