Biodegradable Electrospun Membranes for Sustainable Industrial Applications
Summary
This review examines biodegradable electrospun membranes, which are ultra-thin fiber materials made from natural or plant-based polymers, for use in water treatment, food packaging, and medical applications. These membranes offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based materials that contribute to microplastic pollution. By breaking down safely after use, they could help reduce the flow of microplastic particles into the environment.
[Image: see text] The escalating demand for sustainable industrial practices has driven the exploration of innovative materials, prominently exemplified by biodegradable electrospun membranes (BEMs). This review elucidates the pivotal role of these membranes across diverse industrial applications, addressing the imperative for sustainability. Furthermore, a comprehensive overview of biodegradable materials underscores their significance in electrospinning and their role in minimizing the environmental impact through biodegradability. The application of BEMs in various industrial sectors, including water treatment, food packaging, and biomedical applications, are extensively discussed. The environmental impact and sustainability analysis traverse the lifecycle of BEMs, evaluating their production to disposal and emphasizing reduced waste and resource conservation. This review demonstrates the research about BEMs toward an eco-conscious industrial landscape for a sustainable future.
