Biodegradable Nonwovens In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202530114), Chenchen Zhou, Nam-Joon Cho, Yi Zhao, and co-workers develop dual-function biodegradable nonwovens enabling plant cultivation and pollutant removal using an ethanol-induced self-assembly strategy. Ethanol triggers keratin molecular unfolding and promotes interfacial adhesion on jute-based geotextiles, constructing a stable micro/nanoarchitectured coating. The integrated cultivation–remediation platform establishes a sustainable closed-loop system linking agriculture, waste valorization, and environmental restoration.
