Novel Polymer Modified Iron Nanoparticles For Environmental Remediation
RFT-247
Scientists at NDSU have recently invented a novel polymer coated nanoparticle delivery system that has been shown to be highly effective in performing various environmental (underground decontamination/detoxification) remediation processes.
The innovation pertains to the discovery of a new amphiphilic polysiloxane graft copolymer (APGC) based metal nanoparticle delivery vehicle that is unique in having the following properties:
• Increases colloidal stability
• Reduced oxidation by non-target compounds, and
• High affinity towards water/contaminant interface
