There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil microorganisms. Genecis produces biodegradable polymers called PHA or PHBV (poly hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxy valerate).

AZoM speaks with Dr. Robert Shepherd from Cornell University. In their research, Dr. Shepherd and his team made a crucial component for a technology that could make inflatable braille that changes shape under a user’s touch a reality. Triggered by combustion, Dr. Shepherd and his team created a haptic array of densely packed actuators that enable silicone membrane “dots” to pop up.

Plasma cutting, sometimes known as plasma arc cutting, is a melting process. In this process, a jet of ionized gas is used at temperatures over 20,000 °C is employed to melt the material and expel it from the cut.
AZoM speaks with Michael Foshey, Mechanical Engineer in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Michael is part of a team of researchers at MIT that has developed a data-driven system that accelerates the process of discovering new 3D printing materials that have multiple mechanical properties. The research was supported by BASF.
