A better understanding of processes such as these also holds potential for the development of future medical products or for the production of naturally degradable materials.

You will find degradable pots made from a variety of materials.

The material developed by Chung and his research team is fully degradable at the end of its life without producing microplastics and toxic substances.

"Our study takes the harmful greenhouse gas CO2 and makes it into a useful raw material to produce degradable polymers or plastics," said Hoyong Chung, an associate professor in chemical and biomedical engineering at the college.

A special high-resolution 3D printing process is used to create tiny, porous spheres made of biocompatible and degradable plastic, which are then colonized with cells.
