Crowding Effects of Polystyrene Nanoparticles on Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Hydra Attenuata

open access: yesJournal of Xenobiotics, 2020
Plastics pervade our environment and potentially release important quantities of plastic nanoparticles (NPs) from degradation in the environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the crowding effects of polystyrene NPs on lactate dehydrogenase ...

Isolation and identification of plastic degrading bacteria from dumpsites Lagos [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Environmental Technology, 2022
Plastic pollution is a threat to the environment because of its slow degradation rate and high usage. The continuous accumulation of these synthetic plastic wastes poses an ever-increasing threat to animals, humans, and the environment.

Rational design for thermochromic luminescence in amorphous polystyrene films with bis‐o‐carborane‐substituted enhanced conjugated molecule having aggregation‐induced luminochromism

open access: yesAggregate, 2021
We designed the triad molecule, bis‐o‐carborane‐substituted bis(thienylethynyl)benzene, as a filler for realizing thermochromic luminescent behaviors based on conventional polymer films, such as polystyrene.

Method for Zero-Waste Circular Economy Using Worms for Plastic Agriculture: Augmenting Polystyrene Consumption and Plant Growth

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2021
Polystyrene (PS) is one of the major plastics contributing to environmental pollution with its durability and resistance to natural biodegradation. Recent research showed that mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and superworms (Zophobas morio) are naturally ...

Solvent-Induced Assembly of One-Patch Silica Nanoparticles into Robust Clusters, Wormlike Chains and Bilayers

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
We report the synthesis and solvent-induced assembly of one-patch silica nanoparticles in the size range of 100–150 nm. They consisted, as a first approximation, of silica half-spheres of which the truncated face was itself concave and carried in its ...

Effects of Digestion, Cell Culture Media, and Mucous on the Physical Properties, Cellular Effects, and Translocation of Polystyrene and Polymethacrylate Nanoparticles

open access: yesToxics, 2023
The discovery of plastic and metal nanoparticles in organisms, foods, and beverages has generated numerous studies on the effects of these particles on the barrier cells and their subsequent absorption into the body.

Photochemical Aerobic Upcycling of Polystyrene Plastics to Commodity Chemicals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Since United Nations has set goals dealing with climate change, the chemical industry has focused on recycling the already-used polymers, targeting the reinsertion of plastic waste to market via new products through reforming.
