The usage of dyes has been tremendously augmented due to industrialization and human’s intrinsic fascination with colors. Owing their excessive in industries like textiles, food, cosmetics, paints, printing etc., it is indisputably a contributing factor aquatic pollution. Dyes effluents have emerged as burgeoning challenge. issues such toxicity, mutagenicity, disturbed photosynthesis associated...

Over 110 million tonnes of textile fibres and apparel are produced annually, ultimately ending with significant quantities waste textiles. One route for upcycling end-of-life textiles is to repurpose the materials atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal by integrating microalgae (single celled photosynthetic organisms) form ‘living’ biocomposites. In this study we demonstrate CO capture perf...

Rigid conducting biocomposites are versatile and effective transducing materials for the construction of a wide range of amperometric biosensors such as immunosensors, genosensors and enzymosensors, particularly if the transducer is bulk-modified with universal affinity biomolecules. The strept(avidin)-graphite-epoxy biocomposite could be considered as an universal immobilization platform where...

Bone like hydroxyapatite (nHAp) was synthesized via an in situ biomimetic process in presence of wheat starch. The effect of polymer concentration alteration on the final structure of nHAp was investigated. Formation of the nHAp at room temperature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Size and morphology of the nHAp samples were character...

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are of interest as load-bearing components for polymer matrix nanocomposites. A wide range of nanostructured materials including nanopaper/films, foams, aerogels, and hydrogels can be prepared from CNFs. The material performance can be fine-tuned when CNFs are combined with different polymer matrices. The main idea of the present study is to test the hypothesis that ...

In this prelude study, the high-density polyethylene/kenaf core fiber (HDPE/KCF) biocomposites without and containing hydrophobic ionic liquid, namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Emim][NTf2]), were prepared via melt mixing process. The process was carried out by using an internal mixer at 150°C with a rotor speed of 60 rpm. molded into sheets through compress...

Viruses affect humanity causing deaths and economic problems all over the world. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) zeolites are nanoporous compounds that can be tailor-synthetized to specific applications detect control virus infections. Three main found for these materials towards viruses: biosensors, barriers biocomposites. Biosensors based on MOFs possess a high selectivity in fluorescence ass...

in this work, we report the effect of biopolymers (starch and gelatin) on in vitro biocompatibility property of nano hydroxyapatite (nhap) composites. cell culture and mtt assays were performed for in vitro biocompatibility. they show that nhap can affect the proliferation of cells and the nhap-starch and nhap-gelatin biocomposites have no negative effect on the cell morphology, viability and p...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are extensively studied materials for delivering a wide range of therapeutic entities including nucleic acids. Protein corona from serum may change biological identity and properties these biocomposites.

Growing environmental concerns have heightened interest in the development of environmentally friendly materials. The purpose this study is to evaluate how mechanical and thermal properties thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) are affected by presence banana leaf fibre (BLF). By incorporating between 10% 80% weight into TPCS matrix, biocomposites were created. parameters samples determined. resu...
