Sustainable alternatives to microplastics from degradable polymer microparticles
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers demonstrated that biodegradable poly(beta-amino ester) microparticles can replace conventional microplastics in personal care products, showing effective skin exfoliation performance while degrading under physiological conditions, offering a scalable and environmentally safer alternative to synthetic plastic microbeads.
Removal of microplastics or nanoplastics using nameko (Pholiota nameko) mucilage as a flocculant
AI summary
Researchers demonstrated that mucilage from nameko mushrooms (Pholiota nameko), combined with iron(III), can rapidly flocculate and remove up to 98.4% of microplastics and 87.4% of nanoplastics from water within minutes, offering a natural, biodegradable bio-flocculant as a promising approach for microplastic remediation.
