Breaking barriers in polymer tech: PBS vitrimers for greener futures

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) has emerged as a viable alternative to conventional plastics due to its biodegradability and similar properties to polypropylene. Under composting conditions, PBS can break down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. However, its linear structure has limited its use in key manufacturing processes, such as foaming and film blowing, due to challenges with melt viscosity and mechanical strength. Overcoming these limitations has been a key focus for researchers seeking to expand PBS's potential in sustainable applications. In a significant development, scientists from Southwest University, in collaboration with South China University of Technology, have enhanced PBS's properties by introducing dynamic imine bonds. Their research, published in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science on May 17, 2024, details the creation of PBS vitrimers (PBSVs) that offer improved thermal, mechanical, and melt characteristics, positioning them as a more versatile material for eco-friendly applications.

Sigma's new enclosure is finished!

well, mostly. I want to get another branch or tube or plant or something in that top right corner to fill in the empty space, assuming the monster dracaena doesn't realize it now has an extra foot of vertical space and decide to conquer it. i'll give it a month or two and see how the dracaena adapts before putting something above it. I also want to see how the new pothos grows in, and how the old philodendron adapts. i actually removed two vines from the philo and cut the remaining two down to size a bit since they took over whatever space the dracaena didn't in the old enclosure, so i'm confident the philodendron will help fill in some of the currently empty space even if the dracaena and pothos decide not to.

for the enclosure itself, it's a Leap Habitats 22"x17"x36" enclosure and hoo boy it has its pros and cons... mostly cons. i haven't seen many reviews for these enclosures that aren't from popular youtubers or reddit threads from over a year ago, so here's my opinions below:

i've moved several times so i greatly appreciate how light the enclosure is even fully planted, and being able to screw branches and tubes and other things into the walls instead of having to use spray foam (and then either silicone or the grout method) to mount them is really nice. both are pluses over the glass exoterra 18"x18"x24" Sig has called home since he was given to me. i loved that enclosure but after moving three times with it (once before i made it bioactive) i was not a fan of the weight.

this doesn't apply to me right now, but i do see it as a plus that they included the little spots in the corners of the top that you can pop out to easily install mister nozzles through. i don't know if these holes fit non-Leap misting systems without modification, but it's certainly simpler than some of the setups i've seen for getting misters installed in traditional enclosures like exoterras.

Sigma is... not a great hunter. his method of hunting black soldier flies, for example, is to slam his face as hard as possible into them. this is another big reason i wanted him out of the glass enclosure-- i'm genuinely worried about him injuring himself with the force at which i've watched him bounce his face off the walls and door of the exoterra enclosure. so the softer, less rigid walls and acrylic door are a plus for that alone.

now for the downsides...

i'm really not a huge fan of how flimsy the acrylic door is. if it was a liiiittle thicker i'd probably like it more. the very simple method for the door hinge also means that when open, the door is misaligned, so i have to remember to slightly lift it when i go to close it so it will fit back in its space and close properly. this could be related to the low quality control that i've heard other people report regarding Leap (and experienced myself further below)

the base also leaks. they do sell external water catch trays in case of leakage, but i feel like they should come with the trays instead of the tray being optional, since the design of these things is basically guaranteed to leak without modification.

i didn't encounter this myself because i'd already seen warnings about this and didn't bother trying, but silicone and expanding foam won't adhere to the sides without help. Leap recommends using wall anchors for the foam to hold onto, but there's no real solution for silicone. this is annoying, because being able to seal the damned thing with silicone would GREATLY help the above leaking problem because you could just silicone around the rivets and internal plastic liner so that the leaking wouldn't be an issue. sealants that do bond to polypropylene don't strike me as being safe for use inside a reptile enclosure, especially a bioactive one.

it was also a BITCH to put together. i sort of expected this because a couple reviews i read before buying stated that the quality control is not the best. Leap has several videos on their youtube showcasing how to assemble the enclosures straight out of the box, and the provided instructions in the box are simple enough to follow, but i had to make some minor modifications in order to get the enclosure together due to ill-fitting pieces (for example, the screen top, which also keeps the walls in shape, did not actually fit on top of the walls like it was supposed to and i had to pry some sections open wide enough to actually get the damned thing in place). the alignment pin that goes in the front right of the base also did not want to be flush with the base like it's supposed to be.

all that being said, right now i would still be willing to get another, smaller Leap enclosure in the future for my mourning geckos or another gecko species. whether i actually do get another of their enclosures will really depend on how this one for Sig holds up. the lightness and ease of customization were the entire reasons i ordered this enclosure instead of a similarly sized (24x"18"x36") glass one, so we'll eventually see if that's truly worth the troubleshooting and outright downsides to these enclosures or not.

Cling Film Market Trends, Segmentation, Outlook, Industry Report to 2031

The cling film market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the anticipated time frame and reach USD 8.72 billion by 2027. Food items are routinely wrapped and preserved with cling film, a thin plastic sheet also known as plastic wrap or food wrap.

The sector is developing mainly due to rising customer demand for packaged and handy items as well as increased consumer education on food safety and storage. Cling film is frequently used in homes, restaurants, and the food processing and packaging industries to preserve food for a longer period of time.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) are the three material kinds that make up the market. Because of its exceptional clarity, strength, and flexibility, PVC is the cling film material that is used the most frequently.

For More Insights on this Market, Get A Sample Report @ https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/sample/rep-gb-2654

The effects of cling film on the environment, however, are also a worry. In landfills, plastic cling film takes hundreds of years to decompose, which can contribute to environmental contamination. Due to this, there is an increasing need for cling film substitutes like silicone food covers and beeswax wraps.

Overall, it is anticipated that the cling film market will expand over the next few years due to the rising demand for practical and secure food packaging solutions. To fulfil the changing expectations of consumers, the industry will also need to address worries about the environmental impact of plastic cling film and investigate sustainable alternatives.

Just some brief and basic facts about the most common types of implants above.

And info on some more unusual past and future types of augmentations below:

String expansion is no longer carried out due to safety concerns. Saline is the only current way of creating huge sizes, whether through overfilling standard shells or expanders (the latter being very prone to infection though as we fill with saline). One type that may be more common in the future are air expanders 😉
