The University of Bath has introduced a novel bio-based polymer membrane designed to capture persistent environmental pollutants known as 'forever chemicals' from water sources.
This development could significantly improve the efficiency of water treatment processes, addressing a critical environmental challenge posed by these toxic substances.
The polymer's renewable nature aligns with sustainability goals, potentially transforming existing water treatment infrastructure and enhancing overall system resilience.
