The escalating production of virgin plastics has resulted in an unprecedented generation of microplastics (MPs), posing significant environmental and health risks. Biodegradable plastics have emerged as an alternative, but their degradation also rele...
Bio-based compostable starch aerogels have significant potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional polymer aerogels across various applications. However, they suffer from very significant shrinkage, shown in published work as 40–50% u...
Peptides are substances with numerous applications in chemistry, biology, medicine, and agriculture. Systematization of knowledge related to peptides may well have not only scientific research but also economic consequences. This study examines the a...
The results of this study, which involved treating cotton fabrics with three fluorescent hyperbranched polymers modified with 1,8-naphthalamide (P1), acridine (P2), and dansyl (P3) groups, could have applications in the development of antimicrobial t...
Advancements in material science have made biopolymers a reliable solution in treating diseases for which there were no effective treatments. Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are the second leading cause of secondary infertility among women of reproduct...
The immiscibility of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) complicates the thermal processing of these materials. This study provides the first comparative assessment of two compatibilizers with differing reaction mechanisms, Jo...
Metabolism, the network of biochemical reactions that powers life, arose under conditions radically different from those on Earth today. Investigating its origins reveals how initially simple chemical processes gradually integrated nucleic acid and t...
The adhesion of printing inks to printing substrates is a complex process influenced by both the physical and chemical properties of the printing substrate and of the printing ink. Synthetic paper, being a polymer with no absorption capability, limit...
Biopolymers are revolutionizing the materials landscape, driven by a growing demand for sustainable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based materials. Sourced from biological origins, these polymers are not only environment friendly but also pres...
The ageing of cellulose paper-based transformer insulation is a critical factor influencing the reliability and lifespan of power transformers, as insulating paper is not easily replaced or repaired. Therefore, this review explores the degradation me...
