Proclaimed MSNBC, Saturday (21/04/2012), in order to bring waterproof paper, the research team from the Italian Institute of Technology in normal paper coated with a solution containing monomer.
The research team leader, Despina Fragouli explained that this monomer form, "A polymer shell around the grain of the paper making it waterproof."
"In this way, the paper becomes waterproof and can be added to certain functions, according to the type of particles used," he said.
That means you may have a paper that is waterproof and magnetic or anti-bacterial and water resistant. Additional capabilities are obtained according to the mixed particles with monomer.
In addition, although the monomer is used as a coating particles are mixed with others, waterproof paper still function like normal paper. Paper can still be used for writing or printing
