Coacervate Droplet Sequestration of Heterogeneous Nanoplastics With Elastin‐Like Polypeptides
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Phase‐separated polypeptide droplets captured incidental nanoplastics as a reusable nanoplastic sink. The engineered droplets selectively partitioned nanoplastics and exhibited unique interactions depending on droplet type and nanoplastic identity, establishing biopolymer coacervates as a potential platform for nanoplastic characterization and removal.
