Turning agricultural waste into wealth: production of sustainable cellulose for hydroponic farming
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)
Globally, it is estimated that approximately 998 million of agricultural wasteis produced yearly. This enormous amount of waste has become a matter of great public concern. However, agricultural waste is a natural resource ...
Upcycling biodegradable PVA/starch film to a bacterial biopigment and biopolymer
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)
Meeting the challenge of circularity for plastics requires amenability to repurposing post-use, as equivalent or upcycled products. In a compelling advancement, complete circularity for a biodegradable polyvinyl ...
Progressing plastics circularity: a review of mechano-biocatalytic approaches for waste plastic (re)valorization
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-22)
Inspirational concepts, and the transfer of analogs from natural biology to science
and engineering, has produced many excellent technologies to date, spanning
vaccines to modern architectural feats. This review highlights ...
Rendering bio-inert low density polyethylene amenable for biodegradation via fast high throughput reactive extrusion assisted oxidation
(Springer, 2021-11-01)
An energy efficient high throughput pre-treatment of low density polyethylene (LDPE) using a fast reactive
extrusion (REX) assisted oxidation technique followed by bacterial attachment as an indicator for bio amenability ...
Preclinical assessment of biomimetic and bioactive bone regeneration scaffold in femoral condyle defect of Sprague Dawley rats.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020)
A fabricated biomimetic bone scaffold, incorporating osteogenic factors, presents a promising alternative to traditional autologous and
allogeneic bone fracture treatments. Here, the principles of biology and engineering ...
Development of a new bone scaffold for the treatment of large bone defects
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Large bone defects
are typically caused by incidents
such
as fractures, diseases, trauma or surgeries. Worldwide more that 3/5 million bone grafts (either autografts or allografts) are performed each year.
Ultrafast 99% Polyethylene terephthalate depolymerization into value added monomers using sequential glycolysis-hydrolysis under microwave irradiation
(Elsevier, 2022-04-11)
Effective and efficient hybrid depolymerisation technologies are emerging as high potential sustainable routes with considerable benefits over conventional recycling methods for the achievement of circular economies for ...
We have a solution for plastic pollution!
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022-01)
Most plastics degradation methods are currently inefficient and are limited by
processing difficulties, quality loss and diminished value. This research focuses
on the development of novel ultra-green chemical recycling ...
Bioresorbable chitosan-based bone regeneration scaffold using various bioceramics and the alteration of photoinitiator concentration in an extended UV photocrosslinking reaction in an extended UV photocrosslinking reaction
(MDPI, 2022-10-28)
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an ongoing field of research based on clinical needs
to treat delayed and non-union long bone fractures. An ideal tissue engineering scaffold should
have a biodegradability property ...
Progressing ultragreen, energy-efficient biobased depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) via microwave-assisted green deep eutectic solvent and enzymatic treatment
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Effective interfacing of energy-efficient and biobased technologies presents an all-green
route to achieving continuous circular production, utilization, and reproduction of plastics. Here, we
show combined ultragreen ...
