Degradation of bio-based film plastics in soil under natural conditions
TL;DR: In this paper , the degradation of bio-based plastic materials in field soil under natural conditions was investigated, and the degradation was evaluated by macro-and microscopic observations, weight loss, thermogravimetric analysis, and tensile test.

Development of Epoxy and Urethane Thermosetting Resin Using Chlorella sp. as Curing Agent for Materials with Low Environmental Impact
Kohei Iritani,Akihito Nakanishi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of temperature and compression on the Young's moduli and tensile strength of cell-plastic resins was investigated. But the results showed that the elongation ratios of the resins were constant at low values regardless of the conditions.

Natural Antibiotic Resistance and Contamination by Antibiotic Resistance Determinants: The Two Ages in the Evolution of Resistance to Antimicrobials
TL;DR: The study of antibiotic resistance has been historically concentrated on the analysis of bacterial pathogens and on the consequences of acquiring resistance for human health, but the studies on antibiotic resistance should not be confined to clinical-associated ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability of plastics.
TL;DR: In this review, microbial and enzymatic biodegradation of plastics and some factors that affect their biodegradability are discussed.
