Abstract

Natural organic materials (NM), which are biodegradable, biocompatible, renewable, and electroactive, offer a sustainable solution to the environmental impact of technological progress. This perspective emphasizes NM's potential to reduce environmental impact and create sustainable solutions for medical devices and disposable products. Nonetheless, challenges remain in scaling up production and addressing durability. Integrating natural systems into technological processes can help achieve a more eco-friendly and balanced future.

更环保的处方:天然有机材料在医疗保健中的力量
天然有机材料(NM)具有生物降解性、生物兼容性、可再生性和电活性,可为技术进步对环境的影响提供可持续的解决方案。这一观点特别强调了 NM 在减少对环境的影响以及为医疗设备和一次性产品提供可持续解决方案方面的潜力。然而,在扩大生产规模和解决耐用性问题方面仍然存在挑战。将自然系统融入技术流程有助于实现更加生态友好和平衡的未来。
