Fabrication of Novel Functional Cell‐Plastic Using Polyvinyl Alcohol: Effects of Cross‐Linking Structure and Mixing Ratio of Components on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties

Abstract The current system of disposal of plastic materials fabricated from petroleum‐based resources causes serious environmental pollution. To solve the problem, a bioplastic called “cell‐plastic” is developed, in which unicellular green algal cells serve as a fundamental resource. This approach...
