Sustainable fertiliser mesh, ‘4D’-precision engineered by flow chemistry: minimising agrochemical pollution

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Flow synthesis of a chitosan-coated fertilliser 'necklace' arrangement (3D), woven into a mesh-like structure (4D). This hierarchical localised fertiliser is evaluated for efficiency and leaching behaviour of P, Ca and K nutrients.
