Researchers have developed an environmentally friendly and reusable plastic. The process is called hydraulic curing. This process uses water to reshape the plastic as needed, eliminating the need for expensive and complex manufacturing techniques.
Most plastics manufactured use petrochemicals as raw materials, and as we have seen, they have been destroying our planet in catastrophic ways. However, cellulose-the main component of plant cell walls and also considered a natural polymer on earth-may be a perfect substitute for traditional plastics.
Researchers at the University of Göttingen changed a small part of the chemical composition of cellulose by introducing "cinnamyl" groups, and successfully developed a new type of cellulose cinnamic acid or CCi, which can form a new type of bioplastic with a water-plastic polymer . .
This means that plastics can be molded with water at room temperature and pressure. This method, called hydraulic curing, allows researchers to create various shapes by simply immersing bioplastics in water and drying them in the air.
The formed shape remains stable for a long time, and according to the researchers, it can be reshaped multiple times in various 2D and 3D configurations. The only disadvantage of this plastic is that it is not recommended to be used in direct contact with water, because it will eventually lose its shape due to its water properties. However, it can retain water and can even be used for components in wet conditions.
Related personnel explained: "Our research provides a feasible method for the use of renewable resources to design other environmentally friendly water plastics. This should open up new research avenues and stimulate other sustainable bioplastics with excellent mechanical properties and new functions. Further exploration."
This method provides a cheaper and more complex method, while avoiding harsh processing conditions, while also being recyclable, economical and sustainable.
This research provides great potential for this bioplastic, which can be applied in many different situations, such as biology, electronics, and medicine. In particular, the harmful effects of plastics on the environment are harmful to all forms of life on the earth, and the repeated use of water plastics with unique functions will be minimized.
