Cellulose-based substrates have emerged as strong candidates for flexible and green
electronics to impede e-waste generation and fulfill device functions. However, current …

An environment-friendly intumescent nanogel was developed to prevent spontaneous
combustion in coal mines. Acrylamide (AM) was introduced into the lamellae of organic …

Introduction: Biopolymers, such as pullulan, a natural exopolysaccharide from
Aureobasidium pullulans, and their nanocomposites are commonly used in the food …

In the present study, sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) was used to enhance the interfacial
adhesion between the natural rubber latex and wool fabric. The coarse wool woven fabric …

The aromatic biopolymer lignin, present in lignocellulosic material, can act as an antioxidant
and has antimicrobial and UV blocking properties due to the presence of aromatic ring and …

Renewable and biodegradable plant-derived biomaterials are considered an ideal
alternative to non-biodegradable petrochemical plastics. However, the inherent cohesion …

As over exposure of the earth to ultraviolet (UV) light and increased amount of petroleum-
based plastic waste, biodegradable UV-blocking materials are desired for diverse …
