Bioplastics

AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.

PLA PHA compatibilization for blown film can widen processing windows and improve toughness. See why morphology and moisture control matter.

Green coagulation and nanocellulose foams improve microplastic removal, yet integration challenges include clogging and media handling.

Printable chipless RFID tags using MXene inks enable remote sorting and then dissolve in a caustic wash to avoid contamination of recyclate.

Machine learning (ML) enables rapid design of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-mimetic polymers to treat bacterial infections.

3D-printed biodegradable meshes improve guided bone regeneration by combining custom fit, mechanical support, and enhanced tissue integration.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.

Flexible bio-based polyester blocks transform brittle PLLA into ultra-tough copolymers with high extensibility and industrially relevant strength.

Made from polylactic acid (PLA), these mono-material sandwich structures with foam-filled cores offer sustainability and high performance.

Biopolymer seed coatings cut agricultural microplastics while maintaining adhesion, dust control, and germination for safer, more sustainable farming.
