Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made compounds containing multiple carbon–fluorine bonds. The unique properties of this strong bond simultaneously make PFAS useful for a number of industrial and consumer applications, toxic to living organisms, and difficult to remediate. Because the pervasive pollution of water sources with PFAS occurs at...
Use of bio-renewable polysaccharides to produce materials with a high technological impact has gained a lot of attention recently. Efforts have been made, for example to produce triboelectric generators from cotton, as well as, nanostructures of chitosan gels for drug delivery. Another well-known example is the use of β-Cyclodextrin (β...
