Bionanocomposites of PLA/PBAT/organophilic clay: preparation and characterization
Josiane Dantas Viana Barbosa,Joyce Batista Azevedo,Edcleide Maria Araújo,Bruna Aparecida Souza Machado,Katharine Valéria Saraiva Hodel,Tomas Jefferson Alves de Mélo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed bionanocomposites from blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and from 3% and 6% bentonite clay.
Dissertation
The water and land footprint of bioplastics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the water and land footprint of bioplastics in several scenarios where all plastics are bio-based and assume different types of biomaterials and recycling rates.

Raquel do Nascimento Silva,Lucas Rafael Carneiro da Silva,Ana Carolina Lemos de Morais,Tatianny Soares Alves,Renata Barbosa +4 more
TL;DR: Bionan composites of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and organophilic vermiculite (VMT) clay were prepared at 95/5/3% and 90/10/3%.
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate biodegradation by mixed culture population vis-à-vis single culture population under varying environmental conditions: A new approach
TL;DR: The use of natural communities (mixed culture population) in defined media stimulated environmental conditions for efficient biodegradation of PHB under variable environmental conditions is documents.

Interactions Between High Load of a Bio-based and Biodegradable Plastic and Nitrogen Fertilizer Affect Plant Biomass and Health: A Case Study with Fusarium solani and Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)
Sarah-Maria Scheid,Kantida Juncheed,Benjawan Tanunchai,Sara Fareed Mohamed Wahdan,François Buscot,Matthias Noll,Witoon Purahong +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the influence of polybutylene succinate-co-adipate (PBSA) amendment in soils on plant development and health, F. solani and mung bean (V. radiata ) were used as models in a modified petri-dish test using soil suspensions.

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.
