Abstract
Microplastics (MPs), as a problematic pollutant in the 21st century, have been found in seawater, surface water, soil, plants, animals, and the human body. This pollutant has detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, the removal of MPs from our ecosystem is an emerging demand. Herein, a straightforward strategy for the removal of MPs from water is presented. The utilization of slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) for MPs removal from aqueous media is introduced in this work for the first time as a fast, simple, and highly efficient method. Polystyrene MPs were removed with high yield and rapidly from water by using a laser-ablated plexiglass (poly(methyl methacrylate)) infused with silicon oil, and the mechanism of this process is suggested. This work introduces a research area (MPs removal with SLIPS), which is very crucial for the environment and human health.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
