IISc researchers develop hydrogel that can remove microplastics from water

Researchers at IISc have developed a sustainable hydrogel to remove microplastics, with a unique polymer network and nanoclusters to degrade contaminants. The hydrogel can efficiently remove up to 95% of microplastics and be repurposed into carbon nanomaterials for heavy metal removal.
