The procedure developed at USP uses magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with polydopamine, a polymer derived from dopamine, a neurotransmitter present in the human organism. These nanoparticles can bind to micro- and nanoplastic waste, and the combined particles can then be removed from water via application of a magnetic field.   Click here to read the story.   Click the following link for more information on Infrastructure.
