Abstract:Recently, there has been a growing demand for the development of biomass-based plastic materials as a solution to address the pressing issue of accumulated plastic waste. Alongside biodegradable plastics derived from petroleum and organisms, DNA-based materials have emerged as potential substitutes for nonbiodegradable plastics. Here, we introduce DNA Bioplastics that are synthesized through a one-pot process involving DNA and a cross-linker. These DNA Bioplastics exhibit key characteristics that closely resem… Show more
