New polymer made of sugar molecules purify water ‘in seconds,’ study says
A team of researchers from Cornell University made the breakthrough. The full research has been published in Journal Nature this week.
“What we did is make the first high-surface-area material made of cyclodextrin [sugar molecules bound together in a ring],” said Will Dichtel, associate professor of chemistry, who led the research, “combining some of the advantages of the activated carbon with the inherent advantages of the cyclodextrin.”
