3D-Printing of Biobased Filters Functionalized with Nanocellulose for Water Purification

The initiative seeks to create advanced water purification filters using melt-based 3D printing technology. The filters feature gradient porosity, tortuous pathways and selective adsorption for water pollutants. Nanocomposites incorporating nanocellulose serve as the active filtration component, allowing researchers to optimize porosity and surface chemistry to achieve high water flux, high separation efficiency, and long-term stability in wet environments.
