The projection of world population growth with concurrent generation of large volumes of agro-industrial waste that negatively affect the environment is of great concern. Therefore, this review article describes the nexus between concepts of Circular...
An increasing demand for energy and depleting petroleum sources has elevated the need for producing alternative renewable resources. Owing to the prominence of lignocellulosic biomass as bio-renewable and the most abundant resource on Earth, this cri...
Glycolic acid (GA), as an anti-aging skincare ingredient, plays a pivotal role in anti-aging treatment. However, its benefits could be overshadowed due to its side effects including skin burning and irritation when overused. Bacterial cellulose (BC) ...
In this study, we report the fabrication of nitrogen rich activated nanosized carbon with hierarchical micro/mesoporous and ultrahigh specific surface area by template-free and one-step carbonization-activation method, which greatly simplified the pr...
Application of out-of-service rubber from a variety of sources is of both environment-protecting and resource-saving importance. To that end, recycled tire rubber was utilized as a filler to fabricate wood-high density polyethylene (HDPE) composite w...
Rice husks obtained from upland and lowland rice varieties were characterized for composition and content of ash. Each of the rice husk varieties was fired at temperatures of 600, 800 and 900 ℃ for a soaking period of 3 h. The resultant rice husk ash...
Cellulose nanocrystals isolated from water hyacinth fiber (WHF) have been studied as a reinforcement for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-gelatin nanocomposite. Central composite design was used to study and optimize effects of the PVA, gelatin and cellulose ...
