About 70 million tons of sulfur are produced yearly as a by-product of petroleum refining,
and 10 millions are overproduced and accumulated, thus requiring advanced recycling …

Carbon dots are prepared using glucose as a carbon source (GCD) and doped with
heteroatoms such as boron, sulfur, and nitrogen to enhance their functionality. FTIR and …

Abstract pH-responsive pectin-based functional films have been prepared by incorporating
curcumin and sulfur nanoparticles (SNP). FTIR and SEM results indicated that curcumin and …

Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) were prepared and embedded in calcium cross-linked alginate
films in varying concentration, and their effect on the functional properties of the films were …

The present work is the first attempt to study the applicability of sulfur quantum dots (SQDs)
as functional fillers for food packaging biopolymer films. SQDs were prepared via …

Abstract κ-Carrageenan-based (Carr) functional wound healing hydrogel films were
prepared by incorporating chitosan capped sulfur nanoparticles (SNP) and grapefruit seed …

Elemental sulfur is the oldest known antimicrobial agent. However, conventional sulfur in the
clinic suffers from poor aqueous solubility and limited antibacterial activity, greatly hindering …

As the standard for heavy metal sensing systems increases, it becomes more important to
find out new self-indicating materials as alternatives. The traditional design of optical probe …
