Cellulose is a linear biopolymer which is composed of nanofibrils, thus having a large
surface area. This low-cost, low-density, high-specific-surface-area, easily processable …

Nanocelluloses (NCs) are bio-based nano-structurated products that open up new solutions
for natural material sciences. Although a high number of papers have described their …

Waste cellulose fibers (WCF) constitute a large portion of biomass which are often burned
during removal processing. As a sustainable approach to reduce the negative …

The development of the concrete industry is always accompanied by some environmental
issues such as global warming and energy consumption. Under this circumstance, the …

The incorporation of carbon-fixing materials such as photosynthetic algae in concrete
formulations offers a promising strategy toward mitigating the concerningly high carbon …

Plasterboard, a commonly utilized construction material, comprises a gypsum core nestled
between two paper layers. Gypsum after demolition of plasterboards is a recyclable waste …

Chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer in nature, is available in the seafood industry's
waste streams. In this pioneering study, chitin from waste shrimp shells was processed into …

Because of abundant reserves and renewable and environmentally friendly properties, the
