⚗ Revolutionizing cryogels! Our new biotech approach creates water vapor-resistant cryogels with improved integrity.
Our research presents a novel biotech method to create water vapor-resistant cryogels with improved integrity. We successfully transformed rice straw into nanofibrils and used live cells to deposit PHA particles within the cryogel pores. This innovative approach resulted in a 6-fold decrease in water sorption capacity while preserving cryogel density and elasticity. Discover how this breakthrough can be adapted to various bacterial strains and PHA types for tailored applications. ➡️ Read the full research paper here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122604
