Nowadays, plastics are extremely common and widely used in many industries, but they pose a major challenge to the environment
.
Some types of plastics do not decompose in the environment and are an important source of pollution
.
The challenge of replacing plastics is that sustainable materials often have limited mechanical properties and complex manufacturing processes
.
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China believe that they have an alternative that can eliminate petroleum-based plastics
.
? Researchers have a new method to make a material with a structure similar to nanograms from a wood-derived fiber and mica
.
This material can be adapted to mass production and has good workability and colorability
.
Natural nanograms have an orderly structure like bricks and mortar, giving them strength and toughness
.
The materials designed by the researchers use TIO2 coated mica microporous plates and cellulose nanofibers
.
It can be manufactured using the directional deformation assembly method
.
This method compresses the hydrogel of TIO2-mica and CNF
.
The manufacturing process and multi-scale levels contribute to material load redistribution and toughness
.
The materials using this manufacturing process have twice the toughness than high-performance engineering plastics such as polyamide and aromatic polycarbonate, making it stronger than traditional petroleum-based plastics
.
Another significant advantage of the new material is that it can adapt to a wider temperature range
.
Researchers have discovered that this material can survive temperatures ranging from minus 130 degrees Celsius to 250 degrees Celsius
.
Traditional plastics tend to soften at high temperatures, which limits their practicality
.
Although this material is stronger than traditional plastic, it is also sustainable and environmentally friendly
.
It is unclear when or whether this new material will be commercialized
