Investigation On The Enzymatic Degradability Of Glycoloic Urthanes Via Fluorescence Assay

The continual rise of plastic production globally has placed a heightened focus on the end of life destination for this durable products.1 Replacing current nondegradable commodity plastics with degradable alternatives, specifically those that are compostable, can help alleviate the disposal burden that these products present.2 Through the application of a high-throughput fluorescence based enzymatic degradation screening method, we have produced a methodology for directing the synthesis of crosslinked polyuret

Alginate Gels Structure-Thermodynamic Relationship with Water and Counterions

Microbial communities are predominantly found in biofilms, which are composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The EPS matrix is engineered and reconfigured by microbes, making it difficult to distinguish between the biotic and abiotic origins of biofilm properties. To establish this distinction, simplify models of the EPS matrix, the study uses molecular dynamic(MD) simulation to predict the nanoscale structure of a model extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix and its sensitivity to interpolymer interactions and water content.
