Safe upcycle of pandemic plastics creates lucrative nanotechnology
March 7, 2023 /
A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) has developed a single-step, organic solvent-free, hydrothermal process to convert polyethylene-based plastic bags and polypropylene-based surgical masks into carbon dots.
Carbon dots, a carbon-based nanomaterial, have attracted a lot of research interest due to favorable attributes such as high stability and electron mobility, and have use in biological imaging, environmental monitoring, chemical analysis, targeted drug delivery, disease therapy and anti-counterfeiting.
