The presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MnPs) in the atmosphere and their
transport on a global scale has previously been demonstrated. However, little is known …

Many current and potential uses of cellulosic materials depend critically on the character of
their surfaces. This review of the scientific literature considers both well-established and …

The objective of this study is to improve the performance of water-based drilling fluids for
high temperature, salt and calcium resistance in the exploration of deep and ultra-deep …

Plastic fate in freshwater systems is dependent on particle size, morphology, and
physicochemical surface properties (eg, charge, surface roughness, and hydrophobicity) …

Light-weight and high-modulus carbon fiber/phenolic composites, were in large demand of
heavy-loading engineering, vehicles and aerospace fields. However, the limitation in the …

The global pollution crisis arising from the accumulation of plastic in landfills and the
environment necessitates addressing plastic waste issues. Notably, polypropylene (PP) …

Plastic waste is an underutilized resource that has the potential to be transformed into value-
added materials. However, its chemical diversity leads to cost-intensive sorting techniques …

Ultrathin films of aligned cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were deposited on solid supports by
using convective and shear forces. Compared to previous systems involving high electric or …

Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) has faced challenges toward advanced applications due to the
poor water resistance, wet strength, and poor thermal stability. The fabrication methods …

Spin coating is widely used in the preparation of thin films as it yields reproducible results
with uniform surface and controlled thickness. However, free-standing thin films of …
