Nano-Thin 'Liquid-Like' Biodegradable Coatings Pave the Way for a Self-Cleaning World

A biodegradable alternative to ‘forever chemicals’ with numerous applications. University of Sydney researchers have observed oil molecules retaining their ‘liquid-like’ properties when they are chemically attached as an extremely thin layer to solid surfaces, opening new possibilities for designing sustainable biodegradable materials with non-stick characteristics.
