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.
