Stronger, greener instant adhesives: biodegradable polymers outperform commercially available options
The biodegradable sr-P3HB adhesive applied between two steel plates will not fail or break under weights of less than 20 pounds. Credit: Colorado State University Department of Chemistry Researchers at Colorado State University and their partners have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than anything currently available on the market, yet is biodegradable and reusable. The findings, published in…

Highly tunable biotemplating methods expand options for nanostructure synthesis
CamBio uses microtubules, which are protein structures inside cells. The silver nanoparticle chains synthesized along microtubules extending throughout the cell interior could be observed using electron microscopy, indicating that they can be used as SERS substrates. Credit: Advanced Science (2024). DOI: 10.1002/advs.202406492 The joint research team developed a highly tunable biotemplate method that utilizes specific internal proteins in biological samples.…
