Plant Waste as Green Reinforcement for Polymer Composites: A Case Study of Pteris Vittata Roots

Plant Waste as Green Reinforcement for Polymer Composites: A Case Study of Pteris Vittata Roots

Pteris vittata is a hyperaccumulator fern able to uptake arsenic by roots accumulating it in the fronds. Recent studies showed that Pteris vittata can be used efficiently for arsenic-contaminated water treatment, paving the way for long-lasting decontamination strategies established on nature-based...
