Researchers have synthesized a bio-inspired polymer for water purification. The polymer was designed to mimic phytochelatin, a plant protein that selectively captures and neutralizes harmful heavy ...
On a warming planet, your food supply depends on crops that can survive heat, drought and fast spreading disease. Now engineers at the University of California San Diego have built a spray on shield ...
Cellulose, abundantly available from plant biomass, can be converted into molecules used to make a new class of recyclable polymers, to sustainably replace some plastics. Researchers at Hokkaido ...
Recent studies have identified that the global aggregation of macro-plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental concerns, having an impact on all living forms, ecological processes, and ...
A new plastic made from plant proteins could replace single-use plastics made from fossil fuels. Research published this week in Nature Communications described how scientists at the University of ...
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - A first-of-its-kind polymer center is projected to process 100 million pounds of plastic this year. The plant opened in December and has been processing plastic bottles and ...
Compounder Polymer Resources Ltd. has completed a major expansion of its plant in Rochester, N.Y. The expansion will increase the site's annual production capacity by 40 percent, officials with ...
A research team of a German-Japanese University Network, HeKKSaGOn, takes inspiration from nature, creating a polymer that selectively removes toxic heavy metal ions from water Osaka, Japan – Clean ...
