Nano adsorbent possess notable adsorption capabilities but is difficult to recover in wastewater treatment processes. To overcome this limitation, the entrapment of nanocellulose (NCC) and chitosan (Cts) within poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) via electrospinning is proposed. The Pickering emulsion stab...
