Use of polymer-based nanomaterials for environmental restoration

Abstract

As a result of military activity, cities, villages, plants and factories are destroyed, and the environment is affected. A number of toxic substances accumulate in water and soil, and their removal and disposal require significant material costs. Nanocomposites are one of the most promising materials for solving today's environmental problems. Today, nanocomposites are being introduced into commercial products at a faster pace. However, the occurrence of aggregation, nonspecificity and low stability limits the use of nanotechnology products due to insufficient functionality. The use of polymer-based nanomaterials will contribute to the effective restoration of the environment, which will significantly improve the environmental situation in Ukraine, especially in overcoming the consequences of the ongoing war in the country.
