Plastic products are widely used around the world, but waste plastic is not reasonably
managed and causes serious plastic pollution. Biodegradable plastics (BPs) provide an …

Bio-based polymers are a class of polymers made by living organisms, a few of them known
and commercialized yet. Due to poor mechanical strength and economic constraints, they …

Contamination of the environment with nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs) and its
putative adverse effects on organisms, ecosystems, and human health is gaining increasing …

Plastics are ubiquitous persistent pollutants, forming the most representative material of the
Anthropocene. In the environment, they undergo wear and tear (ie, mechanical …

Although the toxicity of conventional microplastic types (ie, petroleum derivatives) in different
organisms is already known, knowledge about the effects of alternative biopolymers on …

Biodegradable plastics are regarded as promising substitutes for conventional plastics to
avoid the pollution of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the environment. However …

The literature has largely shown the toxicity of petroleum-based PLA biomicroplastics
(PLABioMPs) and encouraged the production of alternative materials to replace their use …

Recent years have shown a growing interest in the field of 3D printing for applications in the
area of water treatment and desalination. The applications for 3D printing are applicable on …

There are many limitations within three-dimensional (3D) printing that hinder its adaptation
into industries such as biomedical, cosmetic, processing, automotive, aerospace, and …

Microplastics (MPs) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) are ubiquitous in various aquatic
environments, but little is known about their joint toxicity mechanism on marine organisms …
