Microfabrication technology for polycaprolactone, a biodegradable polymer
In this paper, we report the development of micromachining techniques for a biodegradable polymer for the first time. By virtue of their ability to naturally degrade in tissues, biodegradable polymers hold immense promise as new materials for implantable biomedical microdevices. This work focuses on the establishment of microfabrication processes for biodegradable microstructures and microdevic...
متن کاملBiodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics.
Packaging waste forms a significant part of municipal solid waste and has caused increasing environmental concerns, resulting in a strengthening of various regulations aimed at reducing the amounts generated. Among other materials, a wide range of oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse...
متن کاملstarch-based biodegradable polymers and packaging plastics
it seems that today whole world seems to be wrapped in plastics. almost every product we buy, most of the food we eat and many of the liquids we drink, come encased in plastics. the environmental impact of persistent plastic wastes is evoking more global concern as alternative disposal methods are limited. incineration may generate toxic air pollution, and satisfactory landfill sites are limite...
متن کاملBiodegradable Polycaprolactone-Titania Nanocomposites: Preparation, Characterization and Antimicrobial Properties
Nanocomposites obtained from the incorporation of synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles (≈10 nm average primary particle size) in different amounts, ranging from 0.5 to 5 wt.%, into a biodegradable polycaprolactone matrix are achieved via a straightforward and commercial melting processing. The resulting nanocomposites have been structurally and thermally characterized by transmission electron microsc...
متن کاملDegradation of Biodegradable/Degradable Plastics in Municipal Solid-Waste Landfill
This paper provides information about biodegradability of biodegradable/degradable materials advertised as 100%-degradable or certified as compostable in a municipal solid-waste landfill. It describes a 12month experiment with five samples that took place in a landfill. The results, demonstrated that the polyethylene sample with the additive (samples 1) and sample labelled as 100% degradable (s...
