In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers discussed the preparation of microporous wood-based activated carbon fiber and its utility for the removal of copper ions.
Besides climate change, which is mostly the result of our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, plastic pollution stands as one of the most critical environmental concerns of this decade. The sheer quantity of discarded and misplaced plastic is dealing irreparable damage to Earth's ecosystems, affecting our crops and contaminating our water supplies.
Globally, the disposal of food packaging is a massive reason behind environmental pollution. Over 350 million metric tons of plastic are generated yearly, and plastic forms 85% of the trash discarded in the oceans, according to reports.
Writing in Progress in Polymer Science, Korean scientists have presented a review paper aimed at helping to understand the fundamental science and engineering aspects of manufacturing water treatment membranes with poly(vinylidene fluoride), as well as current challenges and opportunities
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers reported the development of oil-removing absorbents made of highly reusable, biomimetic, and hydrophobic graphene/polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofiber aerogels.
Vehicles and equipment launched into space require advanced materials with enhanced properties to withstand the rigours of outer space. Exploring the potential of carbon reinforced polymers for use in space, a research paper has been published which has been included in Recent Advances in Manufacturing Processes and Systems.
In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Polymer Materials, researchers constructed three sensing materials based on luminescent conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with truxene (Tx) cores for highl...
In a recent study published in the journal Polymers, researchers from China demonstrated a new method to recycle the waste produced by the rubber industry.
A team of scientists from India, Bangladesh, the Czech Republic, and Korea have presented research into using polymer composites with quantum dots to develop supercapacitors.
Microplastics and microparticles are harmful pollutants which can cause health issues in city populations. In a new study, scientists have investigated the concentration of microplastics in road dust in Goyang city, South Korea.
