Paper Gets Plastic-Like Properties with Plasma Coating

Plastic pollution is a major environmental concern. Researchers are looking for sustainable alternatives, and a new study suggests that plasma-coated paper could be a viable option. This technique involves treating paper with a plasma, which is a hot, ionized gas. The plasma creates a thin coating on the paper that makes it water-repellent and more durable. This could make paper a more suitable material for packaging a wider range of products.
