Scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis technology that produces precursors of biodegradable nylon from biomass-derived compounds and ammonia. Nylon, the durable and elastic material, ...

Biodegradable plastics hold potential for reducing marine plastic pollution, but degrade too quickly, limiting their ...

University of Maryland researchers are using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics to accelerate the development of biodegradable plastics from natural materials like cellulose, ...

Nylon-based products such as clothing and fishing nets are notoriously slow to degrade, especially in marine environments, contributing significantly to global ocean pollution. A Korean research team ...

A pinch of polymer-munching enzymes could make biodegradable plastic packaging and forks truly compostable. With moderate heat, enzyme-laced films of the plastic disintegrated in standard compost or ...
