Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MICROPLASTINE (Microplastic removal from water using purposely-designed biodegradable gelatine hydrogels)

Summary
Hydrogels are porous, soft solids consisting of cross-linked (bio)polymers in water. The high tunability of porosity, surface chemistry and stiffness make hydrogels highly functional advanced materials. Using charged biopolymers in hydrogel creation enables the adsorption of...
