Biomaterials company Ecovative Design figured out a way to create protective packaging insulation and ceiling tiles that are made without using petroleum
If an inkjet could print genes Boland thought perhaps the same hardware could print other biomaterials.
The nanocrystals might be used to create a new class of biomaterials with wide-ranging applications such as strengthening construction materials and automotive components.
Applications for biomaterials made from the cellulose nanocrystals might include biodegradable plastic bags textiles and wound dressings flexible batteries made from electrically conductive paper;
Biomaterials manufacturing could be a natural extension of the paper and biofuels industries using technology that is already well-established for cellulose-based materials.
and part of the membrane will typically shift from the center of the pit to one side to seal the pit opening said Barry Goodell a professor of sustainable biomaterials in the College of Natural resources and Environment at Virginia Tech.
which some day may be used in biomass conversion processes for energy and sustainable biomaterials production. His study of the brown rot fungi led him to study tree defenses at the nanostructure scale.
He also studied the structure of the tomato peels to assess their efficiency as biomaterials to remove toxic metal ions and organic pollutants from water.
Another recent study led by Tufenkji in collaboration with Mcgill professor Showan Nazhat a biomaterials expert at the Department of Mining
Scientists at the Network of Excellence for Functional Biomaterials (NFB) in the National University of Ireland Galway have published just their breakthrough polymerization method in Nature Communications.
In Biomaterials a team from Wake Forest Baptist Medical center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine report that in the laboratory setting engineered ovaries showed sustained release of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
and biomaterials production and provide a stable year-round source of biomass that doesn't compete with food crops.
Combing through the 36000-plus genes found in Eucalyptus (nearly twice as many as in the human genome) the researchers homed in on those that may influence the production of secondary cell wall material that can be processed for pulp paper biomaterials and bioenergy applications.
