Plastic has distinct advantages and functionality which includes packaging to keep products sterilised and fresh as well as providing barrier function required for certain applications. However, between four and twelve million metric tons of plastic enters the oceans and landfills each year, threatening marine life and polluting our food. The aim of this project is to create alternative sustainable materials as a replacement to plastic. In order to do this we are going to investigate and develop environmentally omniphobic (waterproof and oil proof) materials that can be applied as coatings to materials such as paper and cardboards. This work can have numerous benefits for environment as well as improving the quality of life. This is because products coated with these materials can be recycled, have durability and used for longer, and can improve consumer's satisfactions

塑料具有独特的优势和功能，包括包装以保持产品灭菌和新鲜，以及提供某些应用所需的屏障功能。然而，每年有400万至1200万公吨的塑料进入海洋和垃圾填埋场，威胁海洋生物并污染我们的食物。该项目的目的是创造替代塑料的可持续材料。为了做到这一点，我们将研究和开发环境全憎（防水和防油）材料，可以作为涂料应用于纸张和纸板等材料。这项工作可以为环境带来许多好处，并提高生活质量。这是因为涂有这些材料的产品可以回收利用，具有耐用性和使用时间更长，并且可以提高消费者的满意度
