Summary

Researchers developed a fully bio-derived bioplastic fiber combining PHBH polymer with cellulose nanofibers that degrades in seawater while maintaining good mechanical properties, offering a promising alternative to conventional synthetic fibers that shed persistent microplastics.

Study Type Environmental

PHBH incorporated with cellulose nanofibers was fabricated as a completely bio-derived bioplastic with high seawater degradability and mechanical properties by electrospinning Pickering emulsions.
