Rogue one: A plastic story.
TL;DR: In this paper , the degradation of synthetic polyethylene terephthalate (PHA) is discussed and a few microorganisms that cannot be applied for industrial use due to its low biodegradation capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-Stat Titration: A Rapid Assay for Enzymatic Degradability of Bio-Based Polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved pH stat titration was proposed for bio-based polymers under environmental conditions and controlled temperature, where suspensions of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene succinate) microparticles were incubated with proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manufacturing of Biocomposites for Domestic Applications Using Bio-Based Filler Materials
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used 5.5 wt.% of Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESO) as filler content for additive additive manufacturing of bioplastic composites.

Peiyuan Wang,Jiaxi Liu,Siqi Han,Yufan Wang,Yifan Duan,Tingting Liu,Lijun Hou,Zengqiang Zhang,Li Li,Yanbing Lin +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the bacterial community succession and obtain degrading bacteria in the plastisphere, as well as identify the most efficient degradation combination by co-culture of multiple strains.
Evaluation of the Poly (Lactic Acid) and calcium carbonate effects on the mechanical and morphological properties in PBAT blends and composites
Edilene de C. D. Nunes,Alana G. de Souza,Renata D. S. Coiado,Esperidiana A. B. Moura,Derval dos Santos Rosa +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the organic (poly(lactic acid)) and the inorganic (calcium carbonate (CaCOR3R)) fillers were evaluated in mechanical, thermal, morphological and surface properties of the poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) matrix.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic waste in the marine environment: A review of sources, occurrence and effects.
TL;DR: The sources, occurrence, fate and effects of plastic waste in the marine environment are summarized, with land- and ocean-based sources being the major sources and domestic, industrial and fishing activities being the most important contributors.
