Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

Microplastics in aquatic environment

, 2022
Mikroplastika je pojam za čestice dimenzija od 5 mm do 100 nm koje najčešće nastaju fragmentacijom plastike. U svom sastavu najčešće sadrži različite polimere i aditive, a u okolišu se može pojaviti u različitim oblicima i bojama.

Degradation of microplastics in environment

, 2022
Današnje društvo je iz dana u dan sve svjesnije problema koje uzrokuje odbačena plastika u okolišu. Većina plastike u okolišu se neće u potpunosti razgraditi, nego se raspada na sve manje i manje dijelove tvoreći mikroplastiku.

Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Unravelling protein corona formation on pristine and leached microplastics [PDF]

Upon entering the environment, the surface properties of pristine plastics are rapidly altered due to interactions with exogenous biomolecules, contaminants, and even microbiota, which ultimately alter their ecological impacts. When present in biological
