Abstract Functional amyloid (FAs), particularly the bacterial proteins CsgA and FapC, have many useful properties as biomaterials: high stability, efficient, controllable formation of a single type amyloid, easy availability extracellular material in biofilm flexible engineering to introduce new properties. particular has already demonstrated its worth hydrogels for stable gastrointestinal colonization regenerative tissue engineering, cell‐specific drug release, water‐purification filters, different biosensors. It also holds promise catalytic amyloid; existing weak unspecific activity can undoubtedly be improved by targeted benefit from repetitive display active sites on surface. Unfortunately, FapC remains largely unexplored no application is described so far. Since shares common features with CsgA, this opens window development functional scaffold. The multiple imperfect repeats form platform novel properties, e.g., connecting linkers variable lengths. While exploitation potential still at an early stage, thorough understanding their molecular will pave way multifunctional fibrils which contribute toward solving societal challenges, ranging CO 2 fixation hydrolysis plastic nanoparticles.

Biopolymers are promising environmentally benign materials applicable in multifarious applications. They especially favorable implantable biomedical devices thanks to their excellent unique properties, including bioactivity, renewability, bioresorbability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and hydrophilicity. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a flexible intricate technology, which widely used fabricate biopolymer-based customized products structures for advanced healthcare systems. Three-dimensional (3D) printing of these sustainable applied functional clinical settings wound dressing, drug delivery systems, medical implants tissue engineering. The present review highlights recent advancements different types biopolymers, such as proteins polysaccharides, employed develop by using extrusion, vat polymerization, laser inkjet 3D techniques addition normal bioprinting four-dimensional (4D) techniques. This also incorporates the influence nanoparticles on biological mechanical performances 3D-printed scaffolds. work addresses current challenges well future developments friendly polymeric manufactured through AM Ideally, there need more focused research adequate blending biodegradable biopolymers achieving useful results targeted areas.

Nowadays, sustainable and biodegradable bioplastics are gaining significant attention due to resource depletion plastic pollution. An increasing number of environmentally friendly plastics being introduced the market with aim addressing these concerns. However, many final products still contain additives or mix non-biodegradable polymers ensure minimum performance, which often undermines their ecological footprint. Moreover, there is a lack knowledge about all stages biodegradation accuracy in classifying as biodegradable. Therefore, this review provides an overview polymers, elucidating steps mechanisms polymer biodegradation. We also caution readers growing marketing practice “greenwashing” where companies organizations adopt green strategies label more environmental benefits than they have. Furthermore, we present main standards for evaluating biodegradation, tools, tests capable measuring process. Finally, suggest perspectives involving concepts recycling circularity make them sustainable. After all, “throwing away” should not be option because no outside when only one planet.

Abstract The accumulation of non‐biodegradable plastic waste in land and aquatic environments is expanding every day. According to data collected from various scientific reports, about 100–250 megatonnes arrives the oceans annually. Central Control Board India (2019–2020), produces 3.5 million metric tonnes annually, while only 5–10% produced recycled. non‐recycled dumped into environment either goes landfills or directly sea, which disrupts marine life ocean. We are highly dependent on at household industrial scales. Removal lowering use hazardous plastics main challenges. Researchers industrialists have come up with many ideas lower generation found that reusability easier than degradability, bioplastics ultimate solution tackle problem. Hence, developing eco‐friendly alternative without compromising physicochemical mechanical properties need hour. An conventional petrochemical bioplastics, environmentally safe, reduce our dependency fossil reserves. Therefore, this review focuses as an efficient plastics. Among renewable sustainable feedstocks available, vegetable oils most suitable resource for bioplastic production because their renewability economical nature. study concluded polyurethane‐based polymers inherently more other © 2023 Society Industrial Chemistry.
