Biodegradable Bamboo Composite Material Links Strength Loss to Predictable Marine Degradation
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Tohoku University researchers developed a biodegradable bamboo composite combining bamboo sheets with plant-based PHBH polymer that achieves 71.2 megapascal tensile strength and reaches 45% biodegradation after 45 days in compost, with predictable strength reduction enabling designers to estimate usable lifetime.
