In this article, we define biodegradability and its significance, its benefits and disadvantages, standards, challenges, and outlook on biodegradable nanomaterials ...

Biodegradable polymers are a type of polymer that exists both naturally and can be synthesized in laboratories. This special class of polymer is broken down naturally by microbial processes to produce ...

We've seen fungi being used to create useful new materials for construction, fire-retardant building insulation, and even 3D-printed batteries. One of the researchers behind that last doozy, Dr.

In a recent study published in Advanced Materials, a team of researchers developed a novel small-diameter biodegradable vascular graft that aids the formation of elastin-containing structures in the ...

What are Biodegradable Metallic Materials? Biodegradable materials (BMs) have been a priority for temporary biomedical implants over the past twenty years. These materials, including magnesium, zinc, ...

University of Oldenburg's EcoPBS project seeks to develop cost-effective, biodegradable plastics from organic materials, ...

Scientists at Rice University and University of Houston have developed an innovative, scalable approach to engineer bacterial cellulose into high-strength, multifunctional materials. Using a spinning ...
