Advances in Nanoplastics Prepared by Intercalation Compounding Method
AI summary Read the abstract
This Chinese review introduced the preparation principles of nanoplastics produced by intercalation compounding methods and summarized their applications, covering the latest developments in this materials processing approach. This paper uses "nanoplastics" in a materials engineering sense (nanocomposite plastic materials), distinct from the environmental nanoplastics formed by fragmentation of larger plastic items.
