Lactic acid based biodegradable polymers followed by lactate solvents are likely to drive the demand for lactic acid, esters and its salts in various industrial applications. The recent study indicates that industrial sectors and researchers have had augmented interests in production of plastics that are Bioplastics are similar to traditional plastics in their application but the difference is that they are characteristic biodegradable in a specified composting cycle. Graduate Student Bob Grinshpon I'm on ScienceSeeker-Microscope Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers that are potential substitutes for petrolchemical derived plastics. Such sources include fossil fuel polymers and have given rise to biodegradable and compostable plastics such as polybutylenexacinate and polyglycolic acid. So far, researchers have One method of reducing the cost of production is to create a polymer blend of PHAs with renewable materials, such as starch or cellulose, a technique that requires a smaller amount of PHA per unit (4). Scheer told FoodProductionDaily.com that Algaeplast aims to create 100% algae-based packaging for applications in industries including food processing within the next five years. Novel industrial applications from salt loving extremophiles. Scientists use extremophile bacteria to learn about biofuel production and biodegradation of plastics. The report also noted that these biodegradable polymers offer expanding uses for biomedical applications. Posted on April 25, 2013 by Clay Clark · Bob Grinshpon. The patent describes biodegradable compositions including polylactic acid and the potential to create bioplastic, biodegradable packaging from algae. The presence of acetyl groups improved the interfacial bonding between the polymer matrix and cellulose as well as the wood cellulose fibers, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Biodegradable Polymers Market to Reach $3 billion globally by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts. Bioplastics are increasingly finding interesting applications in durables. The company described it as a “significant patent for the company and for the field of biodegradable polymers” and “the first of its kind”. In the 1990s, the research again became popular, this time in the biomedical industry. Dredging industries, has announced the Washington Department of Ecology's General Use Level Designation (GULD) for its HaloKlear Dual Polymer System (DPS). Polymers produced from starch are useful in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Between medical applications and fluctuating oil prices, research in biodegradable plastics has become steady and profitable. There is a growing interest in natural fiber composite for industrial applications in developed countries, particularly for the production of novel materials with nanoscale dimensions that are also ecofriendly for industrial applications.
