Biodegradable materials represent a new class of biocompatible materials with applications in many medical cases where the support must be provided only for a certain period. In this article obtaining of ZnMgY alloy is presented along with some basic characteristic investigations like chemical composition (energy dispersive spectroscopy - EDS), microstructure (optical microscopy - OM and scanning and electron microscopy - SEM), immersion behavior in 10xDPBS (Dulbecco Phosphate Buffer Saline) solution (mass loss and surface degradation), electro-corrosion behavior (potentiostat with a three electrodes cell) and micro-hardness of the experimental alloy compared to cast Zn and ZnMg materials. The results present an improvement of micro-hardness of Zn by alloying with Mg and Y and a modification of corrosion resistance.

In this study, microstructure, mechanical, corrosion and corrosive wear properties of Mg-xAg the as-cast and extruded alloys (x: 1, 3 and 5 wt.%Ag) were investigated. According to the experimental results, as the amount of Ag added in the casting alloys increases, the secondary phases (Mg4Ag, Mg54Ag17) emerging in the structure have become more clarified. Furthermore, it was observed that as the amount of Ag increased, the grain size decreased and thus the mechanical properties of the alloys increased. Similarly, the extrusion process enabled the grains to be refined and the mechanical properties to be increased. As a result of the in vitro tests performed, the Mg-1Ag exhibited very bad corrosion properties compared to other alloys. On the other hand, according to corrosive wear tests results, a high wear rate and friction coefficient were found for Mg-5Ag alloys.

The Fe-based alloy with manganese led to the appearance of new austenitic alloys, with the antiferromagnetic property pursued, resulting in compatibility with the magnetic field as that of magnetic resonance imaging. The corrosion resistance behavior of the biodegradable Fe-Mn-Si alloy was analyzed in a thermostatic chamber at 37±1°C for 24, 48 and 72 hours by immersing in Ringer solution. Also, the cast and laminated samples were subjected to electro-corrosion tests using a potentiostat equipment. Linear and cyclic potentiometry is presented for characterize the corrosion behavior of the experimental samples in electrolyte. Due to the interaction between the alloy and the liquid medium a change in the solution pH was observed. Structure analysis and chemical composition details of the surfaces were obtained using electron scanning microscopy (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

Indonesian municipal solid waste (MSW) is dominated by biodegradable MSW (organic and paper). Due to the degradation process, the physical and hydraulic characteristics of these components can change. It is important to study the physical and hydraulic characteristics of MSW, because landslides occurred in several landfills in Indonesia after heavy rains. Field observations showed that landslides occur due to reduced paper components in the landfill (due to high recycling activities), and cause high percolation of water into the landfill. In the research, 38 samples consisting of two variants of MSW samples (organic and 80% organic + 20% paper), were prepared under the conditions of optimum moisture content. The organic sample of MSW is leaf, while the paper sample of MSW is newspaper, which were shredded to a diameter of about 1 cm. The tests of moisture content, bulk density (in the mould of permeameter), particle size distribution, and permeability were carried out on both sample variants for 90 days, with a test frequency of once in 5 days. The results showed that there was an increase in the moisture content and density, and a decrease in particle size and permeability in both variants of MSW sample. Organic MSW + paper has lower permeability and higher density than organic MSW. This requires further study, because a high paper recycling ratio can lead to a change in the landfill characteristics.

Polyester fibers include industrially important cellulose acetate, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(1,4-cyclohexane dimethylene terephthalate) (PCDT), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers; however, it is the last one that has been considered to be a “green“ one. PLA is an eco-friendly polyester material that is obtained from renewable resources. The effect of chromophoregens and substituents on exhaustion, colorimetric and fastness properties of PLA with newly developed disperse dyes has been outlined. The differences in colorimetric properties, wavelength-shift and deep-dyeing behavior of PLA as compared to PET have been explained. Use of non-aqueous dyeing media such a super critical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2 ), various organic solvents and carriers have been discussed.

Over 350 million tons of conventional plastics are currently produced from petroleum per year and this amount is expected to rise exponentially in the near future. Proper disposal of these products has caused a great problem for the waste management industry and as a result, there is a significant negative impact on the environment. As a matter of fact, in order to reduce the environmental impact of plastics, some products obtained from agriculture (like starch) are used as polymer blend with synthetic plastics. This study shows that Manihot esculenta can be blended with polyethylene to form a partially degradable polymer. The processing conditions and sample formulations are shown to significantly affect the structure of the polymer which has a concomitant effect upon the degradation ratio as well as the degradation rate. Six samples were produced by varying composition of the blend between Low-density Polyethylene and Manihot esculenta using glycerol and water as plasticiser. These samples were buried in soil and the degradation ratios and rates were studied within a period of 28 days. The results showed that these produced biopolymers are environmentally compatible and bio-degradable. The rate of biodegradation in soil of these biopolymer samples varied largely. The polymer blend with 80% LDPE (20 CaS) by weight had the most regular weight loss over the period of the study. Under the conditions the study was carried out, polymer blend 20 CaS also had the steadiest rate of degradation. Hence, 80% LDPE (wt.%) blended with Manihot esculenta starch is the optimal ratio with regard to the degradability of biopolymer in sandy-loam soil.

Several studies projected that by year 2025, 4.3 billion urban residents will be generating about 2.2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste per year, over 10% of which will be plastics. The landfills in Nigeria are uncontrolled and do not conform to the international standards of similar operations elsewhere in the world; this makes the disposal of synthetic polymers in the soil even more hazardous. Due to the availability and relative inexpensiveness of Zea mays in Nigeria, this study explores the use of this natural polymer, blended with low density polyethylene (LDPE) as an alternative to synthetic plastics. Biodegradability of the biopolymer blend was observed while buried in loamy sand soil with properties similar to the soil found in the general area of the study. The results showed that a polymer blend with 50% LDPE (50 CoS) by weight had the most uniform weight loss over the period of the study. Under the soil conditions given in the study, 50 CoS also had the steadiest rate of degradation. Hence 50% LDPE (wt.%) blended with Zea mays starch is the optimal ratio with regard to the degradability of biopolymer in loamy sand soil Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria.

This study addresses the preparation of biodegradable and highly porous materials with the chemical purity required for medical materials. The solution method for producing porous structures with table salt was modified through the application of plasticisers in the technological process. In this paper the term medical materials includes dressing and implantable materials as well as scaffolds for tissue culture. A new method is proposed using polymers such as poly(D,L-lactide) and dibutyrylchitin to produce porous structures with enhanced absorption properties.

Przedmiotem prezentowanych badań było wytworzenie biodegradowalnych wysoko-porowatych pianek o czystości chemicznej charakterystycznej dla materiałów medycznych. Zaproponowano modyfikację metody roztworowej produkcji pianek przy użyciu soli kuchennej poprzez dodatkowe zastosowanie plastyfikatorów w procesie technologicznym. Zaproponowana metoda dotyczy wytwarzania wyrobów z poli (D,L – laktydu) i polimerów bioaktywnych, np. dibutyrylochityny a celem jej opracowania było wytworzenie materiałów o podwyższonych właściwościach sorpcyjnych. Dodatek NaCl w ilości nie mniejszej niż 100% oraz gliceryny w ilości 5% w stosunku do masy roztworów polimerowych z 10%PLA4060D, 10%DBC lub 5%PLA/DBC powoduje wzrost adsorpcji wody i soli fizjologicznej o ponad 10 g/g w stosunku do pianek formowanych z użyciem wyłącznie soli. W przypadku pianek z mieszaniny PLA/DBC zawartość soli musi być większa niż 100%, w przeciwnym wypadku następuje rozwarstwienie pianek. Wprowadzenie do układu 50%wt dibutyrylochityny skutkuje obniżeniem pH do poziomu 6,36, co jest korzystne z punktu widzenia biozgodności materiałów i sprzyja tworzeniu korzystniejszych warunków dla procesu gojenia się rany.

In this work, sugar palm fibres (SPF) were used as a biodegradable reinforcement. SPF were incorporated into sugar palm starch (SPS) plasticised with glycerol using the compression molding process. Then the SPS and SPF/SPS biocomposites were submitted to biodegradation by means of soil burial experiments. The environmental effect on the SPS and SPF/SPS biocomposites were a loss in tensile strength of 78.09% and 53.67%, respectively, at the end of 72 hrs of the weathering testing period. The biodegradation test shows that SPS degrades very quickly and loses 63.58% of its weight at the end of 72 hrs compared to the SPF/SPS biocomposites.

This paper deals with CO2 laser machining of biodegradable polymers. We investigate the influence of laser parameters on the quality and geometry of cuts made in poly(l-lactide) and poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide). Because of the thermal character of material removal, liquid phase occurs and heat propagates into the material, changing its properties near the cutting zone. For this reason, the mechanical properties of laser cut samples were examined. Oar-shaped samples cut with a CO2 laser were compared with injection moulded samples and also with those manufactured using a KrF excimer laser. Samples with dimensions comparable to those of stent struts were examined in a uniaxial quasi-static tensile test. The influence of laser power and scanning speed on the geometry of cuts was investigated. Narrow cuts (120 µm) were made in 250 µm-thick polymer sheets. A tubular stent based on poly(l-lactide) was designed and then fabricated using a CO2 laser. We noted that this method allows achieving stent struts that are 300 µm wide; however, for such narrow elements the influence of the heat-affected zone can be critical. We believe that this technique has a potential to become an alternative, cost-efficient method of manufacturing biodegradable stents.

Polymeric materials are the basic materials used in electrotechnical products. Increasing demands on the environment and the existing EU directive on recycling of electrotechnical products make it necessary to their rational utilization. Therefore more and more problematic materials from disposal are replaced with others, where the process of recycling is easier. Such materials are biodegradable plastics such as PLA (polylactide). The presented research work concerns the evaluation of selected physical, mechanical and electrical materials made of PLA and polymer composites with PLA matrix.
