Water-processable, biodegradable and coat able aqua plastic from engineered biofilms (Anna Duraj)
(Challenges) :red_flag:
Global plastic pollution :wastebasket:
nonbiodegradability of petrochemical plastics
need biodegradable materials :leaves:
current bioplastic market = bad
poor quality
few options
still use petrochemicals
PVA (water-soluble plastic)
(made from petrochemicals)
(Global Connections) :globe_with_meridians:
Plastic pollution problem
waste management
sustainability/low-carbon economy :factory:
Biotech (living) solutions
(Broader Systems) :world_map:
Engineered living materials (ELMs) :female-scientist:
synthetic biology
Sustainable design frameworks
material life cycles
Socio-environmental systems
(Investigative Strategies) :mag_right:
bioengineering bacteria -> produce proteins
materials functional tests
chemical resistance
Aqua welding
3D molding
comparative analysis (w/ Petro-plastics)
(Solutions) :check:
aquaplastics :ocean:
microbial biofilm makes hydrogels
genetic programability?
reduces carbon footprint
reparability + weldability
chemical resistance
(Future challenges) :!?:
low production yield
wastes water?
real-world performance = ??
lab --> industrial manufacturing
