30. Review. The Development of Wearable Polymer-Based Sensors. Perspectives

Image
          We have bet hard with this episode. We share an entire review about wearable biosensors such as contact lenses , tattoos and clothes , which have received a huge contribution by the polymers in order to make them portable and suitable for energy storage . Take a listen to it, we are sure you will discover some applications before they become mainstream.

29. Toward Biorecycling: Isolation of a Soil Bacterium That Grows on a Polyurethane Oligomer and Monomer

Image
          When we decided to focus on the Polymers research field, a sorrowful feeling soaked us: we were saying goodbye to other scientific topics. Anyway, we knew that Polymers are linked to many other bricks in Science so we would be able to talk about many of them. Here we share a paper about Recycling analysing the behavior of polyurethane-degrading enzymes , diving in the detail of the genes . We are also fulfilling a dream touching topics aside like Biology . We hope you enjoy it.

28. Energy storing bricks for stationary PEDOT supercapacitors

Image
          Just wow! This is the definition that comes to our minds reading this paper. The author took a very simple idea and twisted it into a wide field of research and application. The approach has the novelty touch because there are not too many crossovers out there between bricks of construction and conductive polymers , but Science never stops surprising the world. We hope you enjoy this podcast and maybe discover a new use of PEDOT.
