Indian Institute of Science researchers developed a sustainable hydrogel to remove microplastics from water.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have designed a sustainable hydrogel to effectively remove microplastics from water. Microplastics pose a significant health and environmental risk, endangering human and aquatic life. The hydrogel's unique intertwined polymer network can bind contaminants and degrade them using UV light irradiation, making it a more sustainable solution than previous attempts using filtering membranes.
