Microbial solutions for plastic pollutants: Caprolactam, Polyvinyl alcohol, and surgical face masks

open access: yesRuhuna Journal of Science, 2023
Caprolactam and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are plastic pollutants that in excess concentrations affect the environment adversely. The purpose of this study was to identify the microorganisms with the potential to break down biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol ...

Biodegradability of Polyvinyl Alcohol Based Film Used for Liquid Detergent Capsules

open access: yesTenside Surfactants Detergents, 2021
Questions and potential misperceptions have arisen about the potential contribution of liquid detergent capsules to the environmental microplastics issue. The film of these detergents is highly water soluble, also in cold water, as it must fully dissolve

External Reflection From Two‐Photon Laser‐Printed Micromirrors Enables Photomechanical Actuation at a 90° Incident Angle

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light reflectance increases along incidence angle and transmittance significantly drops around 90‐degree incidence angle. Here, we report two‐photon laser printed micro mirrors that redirect the skimming light beam into normal light absorption. Using this technique, light‐driven micro walkers and grippers are demonstrated by using grazing incidence ...

Novel immobilization techniques of Acinetobacter (V2) and Paenibacillus (D9) bacterial strains for waste oil degradation

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Bacterial isolates used for the degradation of waste oils has gained greater interest in recent times since these isolates can be immobilized. However, it’s their lack of reproducibility and continual usage that hinders its applicability. The aim of this

Self‐Powered Permeable Electronic Dressing for Exudate Management, Electrostimulation and Drug Delivery in Chronic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a self‐powered permeable electronic dressing (SPED) that synergistically integrates exudate management, electrical stimulation, and on‐demand drug delivery. The dressing effectively absorbs exudate while demonstrating potent antibacterial activity and accelerated tissue regeneration in diabetic mouse models, thereby promoting ...

Secondary polyvinyl butyral modified with potassium polytitanate for coatings with improved mechanical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The technology of laminated glass is accompanied with a large amount of polyvinyl butyral wastes, which are used for recycling due to mechanical properties of recycled PVB as these properties are lower than those of the original polymer.

4D‐Printable Poly(Thio)urethane Photoresins With Reactive Oxygen Species Responsiveness and Anti‐Inflammatory Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces UV‐curable poly(thio)urethane (PSU) thermosets as 4D printable scaffolds responsive to oxidative stress. PSU networks with 100 wt.% polypropylene glycol (PPG) effectively suppress inflammatory markers in microglial cells to basal values.
