Summary
Researchers designed and tested sugar-based magnetic nanocomposite materials for recovering crude oil from water surfaces after marine oil spills, engineering them to minimize the risk of secondary microplastic contamination. The material is biodegradable and magnetically recoverable after use.
We designed and fabricated a sugar-based magnetic nanocomposite material that is capable of tackling environmental pollution posed by marine oil spills, while minimizing potential secondary problems that may occur from microplastic contamination.
