In an article published in the open-access journal Bioprinting, researchers developed a leaf-like channeled device for cell delivery using 3D-bioprinting and computer-aided design (CAD) software and simulated the fluid flow through the channels.
Aceto, the supplier of choice for life sciences and advanced technology specialty ingredients, today announced the acquisition of Biotron Laboratories and Talus Mineral Company (affiliated entities collectively referred to as Biotron herein), leading manufacturers of specialty ingredients for the nutritional supplements industry.
A paper in Polymers, published this week, has investigated the properties of soil enhanced with biopolymers. Whilst there has been growing research interest in soil engineering with biopolymers, thus far there has been little engineering application for these materials to enhance the properties of soil. This research has implications for research into the improvement of soils for construction purposes.
In a review recently published in the journal Biomaterials, the researchers presented a detailed discussion regarding smart biomaterial-based platforms. They also discussed the effect of cells on the controlling parameters of such platforms.
Researchers from Monash University have taken another step towards the holy grail of renewable energy: the ability to store it cheaply. The team have created a new lithium-sulfur battery interlayer that promotes exceptionally fast lithium transfer, also improving the performance and lifetime of the batteries.
Industrial processes often separate compounds from each other and out of solution using energy-intensive thermal separation, which involves multiple evaporation and condensation cycles. More recently, energy-efficient nanofiltration membranes have emerged as a sustainable alternative. But even these have their downside: fossil-based polymers and toxic chemicals are needed to make them.
In a recent editorial article published in the journal Frontiers in Energy Research, researchers presented the framework of a circular economy based on biofuels and bioproducts.
Scientists based in Brazil and Portugal have developed an environmentally sustainable process to produce biodegradable plastic using pigment extracted from yeast by "green" solvents. In an article published in the journal Green Chemistry, they show that this biodegradable plastic could in future be used in smart packaging with antioxidant and anti-microbial properties.
A team of scientists headed by Dr Chang Su Kim from the Department of Nano-Bio Convergence of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) successfully developed a material that offers antibacterial/antiviral properties without altering the physical properties of different products used commonly.
Manufacturing biopolymers from agricultural and industrial wastes are a growing area of research in materials sciences.
