Among the several materials investigated for the production of biodegradable films, alginate is an unique polysaccharide, due to its thermostable and tailor-made rheological and gelation ...

Background Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have become the gold standard of coronary angioplasty since their inception in 2002. Biodegradable polymer DESs (BP-DESs) have been postulated to be superior to ...

Poor consumption patterns aided by the need for packaging and storage of goods have contributed to the burden of non-biodegradable wastes. These patterns stand as major sources of toxic pollutants in ...

Biodegradable memory device survives 3,000 bends, dissolves in just three days Designed to store data reliably, survive thousands of bends, and dissolve in water within days, this device could ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results from the cells’ insulin resistance, and to date, insulin therapy and diabetes medications targeting glycemic management have failed to reverse the increase in T2D ...

A new biodegradable film developed by scientists in China and Australia could slash building energy use by up to 20 per cent and keep surfaces up to 9.2C cooler without using any electricity ...

Purdue University researchers have developed tough, flexible, biodegradable films from cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls. The films could be used for products such as food packaging, ...

Biodegradable junctionless transistors with extremely simple structure are fabricated at room temperature. The free-standing sodium alginate membrane is used as both a substrate and a dielectric layer ...

Learn how to transform sponge waste into comfortable, eco-friendly sandals! Sponge waste is notoriously difficult to decompose naturally, but instead of sending it to a landfill, you can recycle ...

Coimbatore Corporation tackles dumping of non-biodegradable waste in canal causing flooding and water stagnation in the city.

Researchers at Penn State have developed a process for creating milk protein and cellulose derived from plants that could potentially be used in the making of biodegradable and edible food packaging.
