Sensitivity to the environment has reached unprecedented heights in recent years. That was of course also clear in the scientific world. Mainly plastic waste and its disposal With a focus on this, scientists have continued their research in recent years to develop materials that will replace plastic.

If any of these materialstransparent plates‘ used to be. Transparent sheets, which have a very low environmental impact because they are renewable and biodegradable, have been put on the agenda today with a new study.

Transparent plates can replace plastic:

In the study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, scientists that transparent sheets can replace plastic explained. According to the research, the material could potentially be used in car windows, packaging, biomedical devices and many other products and areas where plastics are used.

On the other hand, this does not mean that the transparent cardboard is not harmful to the environment. According to scientists, transparent cardboard is still less environmentally friendly than glass in a material position. However, with the development of technology and the improvement of the material, the damage to the environment in the production of transparent board can be reduced.

Today, methacrylate polymer is generally used to remove lignin from wood in the production of transparent boards. But scientists have replaced this method in their recent studies. sodium chloride He argues that damage to the environment can be reduced by using wood and applying the method of epoxing the wood afterwards.

First produced by German scientist Siegfried Fink in 1992 and continuously improved to this day, transparent sheets have been used in areas such as construction, energy storage, flexible electronics and packaging.
