The product is inexpensive and easy to manufacture, yet safe for consumption and biodegradable. In a paper published in the journal Small, the research was led by MIT postdoc Muchun Liu, Benedetto Marelli, a MIT professor of civil and environmental engineering and five other experts from BASF chemical company.
