But many of the advances rely on petroleum-based plastics and toxic materials. Yu-Zhong Wang, Fei Song and colleagues wanted to seek a greener way forward.
'However, at present, 3d printing is limited mostly to plastics. If metals could be used for 3d printing as well, this would open a wide new range of possibilities.
However, the scaling to nano-dimension on flexible substrates is extremely difficult due to soft nature and photolithographic limits on plastics,
"In addition, due to self-structured low-power technology compatible to plastics, the research team has succeeded recently in fabricating a flexible PRAM on wearable substrates.
"The demonstration of low power PRAM on plastics is one of the most important issues for next-generation wearable and flexible nonvolatile memory.
and also allows for the coating of larger plastic carrier surfaces, Wll says. Thanks to their mechanical properties, MOF thin films of a few hundred nanometers in thickness can be used for flexible solar cells or for the coating of clothing material or deformable components.

#These tiny plastic chips can deliver therapeutic genes into cells A graduate student is developing a cost-effective new method of delivering desirable genes into human cells using a tiny plastic chip.
and essentially recreates a fully functioning laboratory on a piece of plastic the size of a postage stamp. y overall goal is to use technology to reduce the cost of healthcare
#Technology to recycle all type of plastics without using water The technology developed by Marco Adame founder of Ak Inovex can process more than 90 percent of any type of plastic avoids water waste
and reduces production costs by half without reducing the quality of the pellets (small beads of recycled plastic) by avoiding stages with severe changes in temperature.
However this type of plastic has the distinction of being hygroscopic (when it comes in contact with water it retains moisture at a molecular level)
which are responsible for cooling the plastic through contact with special walls and form the plastic beads the founder of the company explained.
The advantage of this technology is its ability to process any type of plastic such as styrofoam polystyrene PET and ABS;
and add an ecological washing machine for plastics that uses a special biodetergent which will reduce the cost of operation even more.
This method keeps the chainlike molecules in the plastic stretched out, which is important for good lithium-ion conductivity between the electrodes,

Making IPNS has been tried before with a type of plastic known as a block copolymer, but it has been difficult to fine-tune their exact structure because of difficult synthetic procedures.
Compared to other polymers like plastics, the wood nanomaterial is biocompatible and has relatively low thermal expansion coefficient,
And yet, PLA is considered not yet a full alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, as it is costly to produce.
PLA is also one of the few plastics that are suitable for 3d printing. However, PLA is not yet a full alternative for petroleum-based plastics due to its cost.
The production process for PLA is expensive because of the intermediary steps.""First, lactic acid is fed into a reactor and converted into a type of pre-plastic under high temperature and in a vacuum,
"Professor Bert Sels explains.""This is an expensive process. The pre-plastic--a low-quality plastic--is broken then down into building blocks for PLA.
In other words, you are first producing an inferior plastic before you end up with a high-quality plastic.
And even though PLA is considered a green plastic, the various intermediary steps in the production process still require metals and produce waste."
"The KU Leuven researchers developed a new technique.""We have applied a petrochemical concept to biomass,
Of course, PLA will never fully replace petroleum-based plastics. For one thing, some objects, such as toilet drain pipes, are meant not to be biodegradable.
And it is not our intention to promote disposable plastic. But products made of PLA can now become cheaper and greener.
"Speakers and microphones both use diaphragms, typically made of paper or plastic, that vibrate to produce
so Bailie did it manually. e used a sheet of plastic with silver nanowires on it, he said. hen we built a tool that uses pressure to transfer the nanowires onto the perovskite cell, kind of like a temporary tattoo.
