MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641085975 A) filed by Dr. M. Anusuya; Pavithra; Dr. G. Balakrishnan; R. Thenmozhi; and P. Abirami on July 14, 2026, for An Integrable Carbon Nanoparticle Enhanced Thin Flim Systm With Regeneration Capability For Eliminating Microplastics From Aqueous Media.
Inventors include Dr. M. Anusuya; Pavithra; Dr. G. Balakrishnan; R. Thenmozhi; and P. Abirami.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: This invention relates to a carbon nanoparticle enhanced thin film system that can effectively remove microplastics from liquids. It consists of a porous thin film made of functionalized carbon nanoparticles placed on an appropriate substrate, which is part of a filtration device. This thin film has a large surface area, controlled pore sizes, and .specific surface chemistry that helps extract microplastics through processes like adsorption, sieving, and interfacial interaction. The thin film system is designed to fit into current water treatment facilities and offers better filtration efficiency than traditional methods. Under similar circumstances, the system exhibits microplastic removal efficiency that surpass those of traditional filtering systems. Multiple reuse cycles with no performance loss are made possible by the regenerable thin film. which lowers operating expenses. As a result, the technology helps with sustainable environmental restoration and better water quality.
