Implantable, Biodegradable Electronics

Implantable Electrode
Researchers at several universities bioengineering labs are working to create biodegradable devices-patches of electrodes embedded in silk-that could be implanted in, say, the substantia nigra to carry out deep brain stimulation. After the silk substrate dissolves, the electronics would remain where placed. So far, this work has only been done in animals, but the technique works without risk. MORE

Biodegradable plastic and packaging is a modern necessity for our ever-endangered environment.
Now PLA has been used to line the indoors of Paper Cups in place of the oil based lining additional usually used, create Plastic Cups, Plates, Carrier Bags, Food Packaging and even Nappies.
Eco Pure is our proprietary blend of organic materials that does not modify the base resin to which it is added.
Thanks a lot for your information
