The spectrum of existing biodegradable materials is still very narrow; thus, to achieve greater applicability, research is being carried out on biodegradable polymer mixtures, the synthesis of new polymers, and the incorporation of new stabilizers for thermal degradation, alongside the use of other additives such as antibacterials or new and more sustainable plasticizers. Some studies analyze direct applications, such as shape memory foams, new cartilage implants, drug release, etc. The reader can find several studies on the degradation of biodegradable polymers under composting conditions; however, novel bacteria that degrade polymers considered non-biodegradable in other, unusual conditions (such as conditions of high salinity) are also presented.Advances in Biocompatible and Biodegradable Polymers PlasticsBiodegradationPlasticsBiodegradation.668.4Ferri José MiguelBorràs Vicent FombuenaCarrasco Miguel Fernando AldásNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910719770603321Advances in biocompatible and biodegradable polymers3393076UNINA02106nam 22004813 450 991013670710332120231110213002.0(CKB)3710000000906937(MiAaPQ)EBC6377257(Au-PeEL)EBL6377257(OCoLC)960976242(BIP)27361419(EXLCZ)99371000000090693720210901d2009 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe AwakeningNew York :PRH Canada Young Readers,2009.©2009.1 online resource (237 pages)Darkest Powers 0-307-37323-1 0-385-66535-0 Book II in the Darkest Powers trilogy takes us deeper into a world where the supernatural intrudes on the everyday with riveting effect. If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl - someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment - not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a group of people who call themselves The Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control: I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever. I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends - a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch - and we have to find someone who can help us gain our freedom back before The Edison Group finds us first.
