Addressing Marine Plastic Pollution

The International Journal of Social Quality, 2018
Plastic pollution has become a pressing environmental problem. An increasing mass of plastic products ends up in oceans and landfills. One international grassroots organization—the Plastic Soup Foundation (PSF)—tries to influence politics and policies of governments and businesses that can be held responsible for this pollution.

Plastic photodegradation under simulated marine conditions [PDF]

, 2023
Ocean plastic pollution is a problem of increasing magnitude; yet, the amount of plastic at the sea surface is much lower than expected. Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation can induce photodegradation, but its importance in determining the longevity of ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Rethinking marine plastics pollution: Science diplomacy and multi-level governance

International Review of Administrative Sciences, 2023
Although science diplomacy has been gaining relevance in foreign policy to solve environmental challenges, critical questions concerning what different instruments mean under the term ‘science diplomacy’ and whether science diplomacy does contribute to the progress in solving environmental issues remain unanswered. We explore those questions by linking

Long‐Lifespan Polyorganosiloxane‐Based Silicone Evaporator for High‐Efficiency Seawater Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional evaporators suffer from salt crystallization and degradation. We design a white polyorganosiloxane evaporator with a reflector, achieving 4.344 kg m−2 h−1 at 1 sun in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. It shows over 53‑day cycling stability and 197‑day seawater resistance.
