We encounter plastic materials daily. Many companies opt to use in manufacturing their products keep production costs low, hence making it affordable for consumers. Though this makes easier consumers buy daily necessities, industries release 1.34 billion tons of greenhouse gas annually. Additionally, persists the environment because its extremely low rate biodegradation. The build up has led dangerous levels pollution which affected wildlife, climate, and human health. A prominent solution problem is ongoing research on bioplastics, plastics made from renewable sources (like microbes plants) instead petroleum. current issue with these bioplastics though, that they are not as durable normal since easily degrade. rigorous search a material combats synthetic plastic’s durability chitosan, biodegradable sugar found exoskeleton shellfish. Due antimicrobial properties, lower degradation compared other bioplastics. This chitosan-based comparable plastics. Through research, will be tested through soil burial test tensile strength test. discusses how varying concentration chitosan mimics natural biodegradation mechanisms whilst combating

Abstract Nacre is a classic model, providing an inspiration for fabricating high‐performance bulk nanocomposites with the two‐dimensional platelets. However, “brick” of nacre, aragonite platelet, ideal building block making nanocomposites. Herein, we demonstrated strong and tough conductive nacre through reassembling platelets bridged by MXene nanosheets hydrogen bonding, not only high mechanical properties but also excellent electrical conductivity. The flexural strength fracture toughness obtained reach ~282 MPa ~6.3 m 1/2 , which 1.6 times higher than that natural respectively. These are attributed to densification orientation degree effectively induced combined interactions bonding bridging. crack propagations in inhibited deflection bridging between In addition, our provides self‐monitoring function structural damage offers exceptional electromagnetic interference shielding performance.
