Nanoparticle Delivery Vehicles for Groundwater Remediation : Sustainability Evaluation through Biodegradation Studies

Abstract: The use of biodegradable polymer coated iron nanoparticles for groundwater remediation is an emerging area of research. A polymer coating increases colloidal stability of the nanoparticles.The lack of biodegradation of the conventional polymers used to coat nanoparticles is a major concern, and limits the application of nanotechnology for groundwater remediation. The authors have synthesized a soybean oil based biodegradable amphiphilic copolymer that improves the colloidal stability of the nanoparticles in aq… Show more
