20. Enhancement in the Physico-Mechanical Functions of Seaweed Biopolymer Film via Embedding Fillers for Plasticulture Application

A Comparison with Conventional Biodegradable Mulch Film 


Developing a new series of biodegradable materials coming from renewable sources has become a key field in the fight against global pollution. Biofilms obtained from seaweed lead the group of plastic-like materials to be used in packaging; this article presents a new proposal of material and an accurate explanation of typical characterization process of the plastic and the comparison with a current available biopolymer.

Content Repurposing

Image
          A lot of ideas have landed on the Polymers Audio Articles project lately and some little improvements are running around our heads, therefore today we would like to summarize them by writing about a concept that links the mayorly: Content Repurposing.  But let’s start by defining this way of building content that has become very popular among the online creators. The general goal of “repurposing” is to provide the audience with easier take away tips. For instance, reuploading short fragments of a long YouTube video in order to reach better engagement. The goal is to create something new from an already existing piece of information, although not necessarily from an own one. That was just a small example of transformation, from video to video, like audio-audio or post-quotes, but we bring another point of view a little bit more extreme, changing also the channel, that means from paper to audio in our case. It represents a huge jump but also a ...

15. Source, Extraction, Characterization, and Applications of Novel Antioxidants from Seaweed

Image
With this series of episodes, we jumped into the field of Reviews with a topic which has been increasing its relevance during the last years: Seaweed . Side by side, we realised that sometimes a single scientific publication was too much for a single podcast of Science Audio Articles. In the past, we split some of them sharing the methods section separately from the rest of the episode, but the next logical step was to face long reviews also. To make it easier for everyone, listeners and creators, we decided to share this one in three parts, but we feel this dynamic is here to stay.  On the other hand, this is the very first article we started working with. In these old times, we just started doing our work with the hearth and maybe we took a too huge paper for that, so unfortunately, this episode never came out of the drawer, until now. We have taken off the dirt and we have done this work again from the heart and with the head also. The only unanswered question we have is why did...

45. Persistence of plastic debris and its colonization by bacterial communities after two decades on the abyssal seafloor

Image
          The presence of plastics in the oceans is currently a hot topic in the plastic research matter. A lot of suggestive analysis, revolutionary studies and new approaches to the problem have taken off in the last years and the article we share today follows that way. There are plastics also in the seafloor where bacteria communities grow; that’s the focus of the paper which hopefully will please you.
