Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

New technologies from the bioworld: selection of biopolymer-producing microalgae

Polímeros
Microalgae are studied because of their biotechnological potential. The growth of microalgae aims at obtaining natural compounds. Due to the large amount of accumulated polymer waste, one of the solutions is the use of biodegradable polymers.

Interactive effects of microplastics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on grassland communities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grassland plant communities contribute significantly to global biodiversity but face numerous man‐made pressures which may interfere with their ecological functions. One such pressure receiving increasing scientific, political, and public attention is microplastic pollution.

Naturally coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reports an innovative approach for producing intrinsically coloured poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] films by incorporating natural dyes—turmeric, paprika, annatto, beetroot and hibiscus—directly into the fermentation medium of Ralstonia solanacearum RS.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis from structurally unrelated carbon sources by a newly characterized Bacillus spp

, 2007
A newly acquired polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producing Bacillus spp. was identified to be a strain of Bacillus cereus using a range of microbiological and molecular techniques. This strain, named B.

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester‐degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume‐associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Principles of Glycerol-Based Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production [PDF]

, 2015
The article addresses the contemporary quest for inexpensive carbon feedstocks to be used for cost-efficient bio-mediated polymer production. In particular, the work shines a light on crude glycerol, a surplus stream of the globally tremendously emerging

Effects of autoclave sterilization on the dimensional stability of implant surgical guides: A 3D in vitro analysis

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Surgical guides are medical devices used in static implant surgery to replicate the prosthetic and surgical implant position planned with computer‐assisted software before surgery. Their use reduces invasiveness and improves safety and outcomes of implant surgery, provided that their accuracy is ensured from design to manufacturing and

Resource Recovery From Food Processing Wastewater Through Microalgae‐Driven Carbon Chain Rearrangement

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Carbon chain rearrangement reframes food‐processing wastewater treatment from COD removal to controlled carbon recovery. By coupling microalgal biosynthesis with bacterial substrate transformation, algal–bacterial consortia can redirect heterogeneous wastewater carbon toward recoverable biomolecules.
