#Paper is a cool material, hirachially complex material that can be functionalized for many different applications. #Polymers are needed to achieve e.g. superhydrophobic properties.
Today's CRC 1357 Microplastics Seminar! Looking forward to the talk of Prof. Markus Biesalski @TUDarmstadt about "Tailor-made functional papers – a complex low-cost material in high-tech applications". Exciting discussion about paper vs. plastic ahead 😉. H18, NWII, start ⏰16.15

Important message from #bodenforum discussion: ongoing analysis of @Umwelt_AT shows a clear trend for more #microplastic in farmland than in vineyards and orchards.
