By the time Wrigley began his business venture, Americans had grown accustomed to chewing gum sold as candy-coated balls or ...

And if you redecorate your home and sand down the old paintwork, the plastic binders in the paint can release microplastics ...

“Our initial hypothesis was that the synthetic gums would have a lot more microplastics because the base is a type of plastic ...

Chewing gum may expose the body to microplastics. UCLA scientists identified tiny particles that break off and enter the body ...

Chewing gum, whether natural or synthetic, contains plant-based or synthetic plastic polymers to enhance texture and flavor ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. And much of what we use, such as cutting boards, clothes and cleaning sponges, can expose us to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics.

Chewing gum contains plant-based or synthetic plastic polymers, making it a potential source of microplastics; however, the ...

While these interactions are known to play critical roles in biological processes such as enzyme catalysis and ion transport, ...

By imitating the structure of a protein, chemists have now made a strong, tough polymer that also exhibits elastic properties. In most of these cases, the synthetic materials mimic the structural ...
