The development of green nanocomposites based on biopolymers and bio-based
nanofillers has attracted over the recent years the attention of academic and industrial …

Petrochemical resources are non-renewable, which has impeded the development of
synthetic polymers. The poor degradability of synthetic polymers poses substantial …

Bioinspired scaffolds with two distinct regions resembling stratified anatomical architecture
provide potential strategies for osteochondral defect repair and are studied in preclinical …

A kind of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)/CNCs composites without using conventional
crosslinking agents was successfully fabricated in this paper, in which a supramolecular …

Chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs), prepared from a down-sizing process from chitin, have
recently captured great attention to access sustainable nanomaterials. The surface …

Chitin nanocrystals (CNCs), rod-like crystalline nanoparticles from natural sources, show
high aspect ratio, high modulus, and excellent reinforcing ability toward polymers. In this …

Ionic conductive hydrogels with advantageous mechanical properties and high stretchability
attract much attentions in wearable electronic devices. Here, a freezing-tolerant hydrogel …

Additive manufacturing, or simply 3D printing (3DP), where objects are built through layer-
wise material deposition, has gained significant academic and industrial attention as a result …

This work assesses the potential of maleinized cottonseed oil–MCSO as plasticizer in poly
(lactic acid)–PLA films with improved ductile behaviour. The effects of MCSO are compared …

Water is present in liquid fuels in three different forms: dissolved, free, or emulsified, and its
presence can considerably impair fuel quality by encouraging microorganism growth. This …
