Have scientists solved the plastic pollution crisis? A team has created a plastic that's as strong as conventional materials but dissolves completely in seawater.
It’s even recyclable if that becomes relevant. When dissolved in salt water, the plastic’s components can be recovered and reused. In tests, the team recovered 91% of the hexametaphosphate and ...
The researchers also tested the new plastic’s recyclability and biodegradability. Astonishingly, they were able to recover 91% hexametaphosphate and 82% guanidinium after dissolving the plastic in ...
