Summary
Researchers reviewed the use of functional polymer brushes — nanoscale polymer coatings on surfaces — as a strategy to capture or repel microplastics and prevent their spread in water systems. These surface-engineered materials represent a promising approach for removing microplastics at the source before they enter broader aquatic environments.
