Summary

Researchers created electrospun membranes from bio-based polyamide that can effectively filter microplastics from both water and air. The study found that these nonwoven membranes also work well for cleaning up oily wastewater. The findings suggest a sustainable, multipurpose filtration solution made from renewable materials.
