Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have made a major breakthrough in sustainable electronics by developing new nanocomposite films made from starch instead of petroleum-based materials, ...

The newly developed nanocomposite films are made from starch—an abundant natural polymer found in plants like potato, maize, pea, and corn—and MXene, a highly conductive 2D material produced ...

The company began producing starch-based isosorbide last November ... used in a number of biodegradable materials, for the joint development projects with Nano Tim. The two companies are looking ...

The creation of these starch-based nanofibers holds promise for medical and technological applications. Nanofibers mimic the extracellular matrix—a natural network that supports cells in the ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new approach to dynamically tune the micro- and nano-scale roughness of atomically thin MoS2, and consequently the ...

Design studio Tomorrow Machine has created a biodegradable juice bottle made from a potato starch-based material that can be peeled away like fruit skin and then eaten, composted or dissolved.

The nanomaterial used for this uniform coating included nature-derived, low-cost materials like nano-clay, chitosan, and starch.

and starch based biodegradable resins. For example, nano cellulose + PLA is a 100 % nature derived material with no petroleum, but this material is a little brittle and breaks easily. Whereas ...
