This paper develops spore-based biocomposite thermoplastic polyesters with enhanced toughness and programmable disintegration through integration of heat-shock-tolerized Bacillus subtilis spores.

This paper develops a scalable method to create recyclable and tougher biocomposite TPUs by embedding spore-based living fillers, showing improved toughness and recyclability.

This paper develops biocomposite thermoplastic polyurethanes containing heat-tolerant bacterial spores that enable polymer disintegration and retain programmed functions.
