Realistically speaking, the amount of plastic waste in the open ocean will persist for many years due to the rate of production and consumption in addition to the inherent durability of the material. (inc.com)
Next, researchers will combine silicon with small amounts of carbon nanotubes in order to further enhance the electrical conductivity and mechanical durability of the material. (sciencedaily.com)
This «greying» does not have an effect on the natural durability of the material. (treehugger.com)
