Abstract

Biodegradable Anti‐Fizzing Water‐Resistant Straws

In article number 2205554, Jun Mo Koo, Jeyoung Park, Dongyeop X. Oh, and co‐workers created a marine‐biodegradable paper straw coated with nanocellulose polyester composites. The straws are not only anti‐fizzing when used with soft drinks, but also highly water‐resistant because the good adhesion of nanocellulose to paper gives homogeneous and seamless surface coatings. The sustainable use of straws is the foundation of a huge environmental preservation.
