  Exploring Polymer Biocomposite as a Sustainable Filter for Water Treatment

  By Kathamrita Mullick, Karthik Raj S., Tharunvyaash Chettiar, Archishman Ash, P. Radha

  Abstract: The present study explores the utilization of polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable polymer combined with surface-modified nanocellulose (SMNC), and pectin derived from Borassus flabellifer leaves and fruits respectively. Existing methods of filtration are synthetic and affect the environment and public health at an alarming rate thereby making biopolymer-based membranes a greener and effective approach for water treatment. PLA-SMNC-pectin biofilm was fabricated using 88.5 mg PLA, 3.5% (wt. % of PLA) …
