Capturing the colloidal microplastics with plant-based nanocellulose networks

Abstract: Microplastics accumulate to various aquatic organisms causing serious health issues, and they have raised concerns about human health by entering our food chain. The recovery techniques for the most challenging colloidal fraction even for the analytical purposes are limited. Here we show how hygroscopic nanocellulose network acts as an ideal capturing material even for the tiniest nanoplastic particles. We reveal that the entrapment of particles from the aqueous environment is a result of the network’s hygrosc… Show more
