Description

Sustainable Green Nanomaterials for Mitigation of Microplastics and Plastic Additives Pollution offers a comprehensive overview of the sustainable nanotechnologies available to manage and mitigate microplastics and plastic additives pollution. The book reviews research on green sustainable nanomaterials synthesis for industrial and environmental applications in the mitigation of various types of flame retardants, antioxidants, plasticizers, and light stabilizers that are released from industrial waste or consumer products. Moreover, state-of-the-art methods to eradicate microplastic pollution from ecosystems and future research directions are also discussed.

This book is a valuable resource to polymer scientists, environmental scientists, and academic and industrial researchers interested in green sustainable nanomaterials and microplastic pollution control strategies.
