   The first reported metallic glass was an alloy (Au 75 Si 25) produced at Caltech by W. Klement (Jr.), Willens and Duwez in 1960. [3] This and other early glass-forming alloys had to be cooled extremely rapidly (in the order of one mega-kelvin per second, 10 6 K/s) to avoid crystallization.

7. Biodegradable additives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_additives

   Biodegradable additives can convert the plastic degradation process to one of biodegradation. Instead of being degraded simply by environmental factors, such as sunlight (photo-oxidation) or heat (thermal degradation), biodegradable additives allow polymers to be degraded by microorganisms and bacteria through direct or indirect attack.
