A Promising Approach for Rapid Stabilization of Plastics
In a new study, scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a novel approach to rapid stabilization of plastics, offering a potential solution to the global plastic pollution crisis. The new approach, published in the journal Nature Communications, makes use of a process called “rapid polymerization”, which allows plastic materials to be stabilized in just minutes, as opposed to the current method of stabilization, which can take several days to complete. The process also uses fewer chemicals than current methods, resulting in a greener approach to plastic stabilization. The scientists behind the new approach hope that it will help reduce the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans and environment.
