WATERONIC proposes new liquid crystalline networks as selective adsorbents with built-in photocatalytic functionalities, whose adsorption, and then photodegradation effect versus emerging organic pollutants will be enhanced ad-hoc by using photonic structures. Hence, WATERONIC aims at breakthrough results overcoming the state-of-art on water purification exploiting different concepts and materials used in photonics.
