Degradable, bio-based polymers offer options for chemical recycling, and they can be a tool to store and release useful molecules. Scientists have developed a class of sugar-based polymers that are ...

In this article, we embark on a fascinating journey through the field of polymer degradation, unraveling the intricate processes behind their breakdown, the factors that influence this degradation, ...

image: Not a day goes by without news of microplastics in our oceans. There are not many efficient methods of recycling plastics without compromising quality. A beacon of hope was recently lit at ...

The intent of an accelerated aging protocol is to predict and subsequently verify real-time aging behavior of a product and packaging system. A robust study is built on the foundation of prerequisite ...

Pollution affects human health and the environment in many ways. Air, water, and land pollution continue to damage ecosystems, with conventional materials—especially plastics—being a primary ...
