Abstract:

'Proplast,' a Teflon fluorocarbon polymer and carbon fiber composite, was used as support for a polymethyl-methacrylate cylinder in a keratoprosthesis that was implanted in rabbit corneas with successful retention for up to 3 years.

Bioplastics

Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...
