Since the discovery of laser-induced graphene (LIG), significant advances have been made
to obtain green LIG (gLIG) from abundant, eco-friendly, natural, and organic renewable bio …

Over the past fifty years, laser cleaning has progressively become an established
conservation cleaning treatment for a range of artefacts, including stone, ceramics and …

Modern life and global communication would not be possible without technologically
tailored thin films; they are omnipresent in daily life applications. In most cases, the films are …

In the last twenty years lasers have acquired an important role in the study and the

The small size and heterogeneity of the pores in bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) hydrogels
limit the ingrowth of cells and their use as tissue-engineered implant materials. The use of …

Irradiation by light is considered to be one of the primary sources of damage exerted upon
cellulosic substrates at ambient conditions. Yet, contrary to studies on thermal ageing of …

Coating of ZnO-cellulose composites on paper surface has potential technological
applications. With this motivation, a simple approach of synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles in …

In the framework of a study on the aging phenomena of textiles we used Raman spectral
