Nanofiber-Peptide Innovation: A Revolutionary Waterproof Paper to Replace Plastic
In the global pursuit of eco-friendly alternative materials, researchers from the Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta” at Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with Aalto University in Finland, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, and the CNR SCITEC Research Institute, have successfully developed a sustainable hydrophobic paper combining high strength and waterproof properties. This groundbreaking research offers a biodegradable alternative to conventional petroleum-based materials and presents potential applications in packaging and biomedical devices.
