Aquaplastics
Solutions to environmental problems :earth_asia:
Specific issues
Plastic Pollution
Microplastics in soil
Accumulation in oceans :ocean:
Slow-degrading "bioplastics": PVA persistence
Broader issues
Waste management
Water system / Ocean preservation :fish:
Biological engineering
engineered e.coli
TFF2 fusion protein
curli fiber production
aquagels - dried into sheets
molds - bowls, cones, spheres
Upgraded material properties
strong + flexible
solvent resistant
withstanding strong acids + bases
biodegradable :mushroom:
water-induced swelling
Addressing future needs and challenges :thinking_face:
Scaling up the production :factory:
Making new curli variants
More versatile composite materials
more functional abilities
aqua-welding - joining sheets
surface coating
electronic screens :iphone:
plywood
leather :skin-tone-5:
templating
