Bio-tiles and heat-resistant biopolymers

2022-07-06 - 2022-07

Even tiles can be organic – if they are made of renewable raw materials. They are more resource-efficient than their ceramic counterparts and unlock new creative options for design. Bioplastics made of polylactides (PLA) are becoming more heat-resistant, thereby making them suitable for high-temperature filling processes in the food industry as well. Researchers are showing how renewable, biodegradable and biostable raw materials can be used in architecture, interior design and the packaging industry.

Using electricity to give chemistry a boost

2022-07-06 - 2022-07

Chemists have discovered an efficient and sustainable way to produce iron-based metal organic framework (MOF) materials directly using renewable electricity at room temperature. Previously, MOFs -- which have applications as catalysts, sensors and for gas storage -- were typically produced using processes that required high heat and high pressure.

Basis for next-gen bioprocesses

2022-07-06 - 2022-07

Succinic acid is an important precursor for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products and also serves as a component in biodegradable plastics. It is currently derived mainly from petroleum-based processes. Researchers are using the marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens as a biocatalyst. This could permit the production of succinic acid in sustainable processes using renewable raw materials.
