3D-Printed PLA Filaments Reinforced with Durian (Durio zibethinus) Husk-Derived Carboxymethyl Cellulose for Methylene Blue Removal
Kasetsart University researchers converted durian-husk cellulose into carboxymethyl cellulose and incorporated it into PLA printing filament. A 0.1 wt% loading performed best for methylene-blue adsorption in the tested set, following a pseudo-first-order model with k1=0.020 min−1. This is a circular-material proof of concept, not a deployment-ready water-treatment system.
