An innovative proposal to tackle the global plastic pollution crisis with a combination of DNA-like encoding of plastics and international law has been put forward by a transdisciplinary team of QUT researchers.
The plastic crisis has been an ongoing environmental issue for a long time now. Disposal of plastic is always a difficult task since the material doesn't decompose for a long time. Burning and dumping have been two ways it has been disposed for the time being. However, a team of researchers
Plant-derived materials such as cellulose often exhibit thermally insulating properties. A new material made from nanoscale cellulose fibres shows the reverse, high thermal conductivity. This makes it useful in areas previously dominated by synthetic polymer materials. Materials based on cel
Researchers found that focusing on cellulose-based materials could result in more environmentally friendly technology applications when thermal conductivity is required because they are more environmentally friendly than polymers.
For their study, the WSU research team treated the sludge at high temperature and pressure with oxygen added before the anaerobic digestion process. The small amount of oxygen under high-pressure conditions acts as a catalyst that breaks down the polymers in the material.
