Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone and muscle and ...

Double helical covalent polymers—which are spiraling collections of nature’s building blocks—are fundamental to life itself, and yet, despite decades of research, scientists have never been able to ...

The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...

Natural polymers, such as gelatin, cellulose, alginate, chitin, starch, rubber, and fibrin, are used to develop green nanocomposites. Their use also expands to ...

Biodegradable polymers, particularly those synthesised from renewable resources, are emerging as vital alternatives to conventional, fossil‐derived plastics. Their naturally occurring degradation ...

Biopolymer applications have emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to traditional soil stabilisation methods, addressing both environmental concerns and technical challenges inherent in ...

As bioplastic materials transition from being a "nice-to-have" to materials with a strong and viable business case, manufacturers are racing to keep up with demand. Striving to hit their ...

Researchers have created a new kind of sunscreen with titanium dioxide (TiO 2) and lignin, a naturally occurring polymer, in a major development for the cosmetics industry. The novel application of a ...

Scientists have made a sustainable polymer using the second most abundant sugar in nature, xylose. Scientists from the University of Bath have made a sustainable polymer using the second most abundant ...
