Tailored 3D-printed viscoelastic adsorbents for efficient removal of micro- and nanoplastics in water
AI summary
This research evaluated polyglycolic acid (PGA) as a biodegradable packaging material, assessing its barrier properties, mechanical strength, and degradation performance. The study positions PGA as a promising alternative to conventional food packaging plastics with superior biodegradability under industrial composting conditions.
Functionalized natural fibre composite filter for the removal of microplastics and heavy metal ions from water
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a biodegradable water filter from chitosan-functionalized coir fiber and pith that effectively removed microplastics alongside heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium) and organic carbon from water. This low-cost, natural-material filtration approach offers a promising point-of-use solution for microplastic removal from drinking water, particularly relevant for communities lacking advanced water treatment infrastructure.
A bio-based nanofibre hydrogel filter for sustainable water purification
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a biodegradable nanofibre hydrogel filter that removes particles as small as 10 nanometres — including nanoplastics — from water at roughly seven times the flow rate of commercial ultrafiltration membranes, offering a low-cost and eco-friendly option for portable water purification.
3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) filters reinforced with polysaccharide nanofibers for metal ions capture and microplastics separation from water
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers 3D-printed biodegradable water filters from plant-based plastics reinforced with cellulose or chitin nanofibers, creating filters that remove heavy metal ions and capture microplastics from laundry wastewater far more effectively than plain filters. The fully biobased design offers a customizable, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic filtration materials that contribute to plastic pollution.
Energy-Efficient and Eco-Conscious Elimination of Microplastics and Toxic Contaminants Using 3D MOF Integrated Hollow Fiber Membrane Via Ultrafiltration
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers integrated a 3D metal-organic framework into hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes to simultaneously remove microplastics, dyes, and heavy metals from contaminated water, demonstrating that the MOF-modified membrane achieves high pollutant rejection with lower energy demand than conventional treatment approaches.
