Biocomposites being environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic composites are gaining increasing demand for various applications. Hence, biocomposite development should be integrated within a circular economy (CE) model ensure sustainable production that is simultaneously innocuous towards the environment. This review presents an overview of state-of-the-art technologies adoption CE concept in development. The study outlined properties, environmental and economic impacts...
Although increased number of reports in recent years on proton exchange membrane (PEM) developed from nanocomposites polybenzimidazole (PBI) with inorganic fillers brought hope to end the saga contradiction between conductivity and variety stabilities, such as mechanical, thermal,chemical, etc.; it still remains a prime challenge develop highly conducting PEM superior aforementioned stabilities. In fact very limited understanding interactions especially interfacial interaction PBI filler...
Microbial treatment of biodegradable wastes not only ensures neutralization harmful substances such as volatile organic compounds but also enables valorization and bio-circularity within the society. Single cell protein (SCP) is a value-added product that can be obtained from waste materials food via microbial fermentation. In this article, SCP derived potato starch was demonstrated viable alternative to existing plant/animal proteins used in production films, for example, packaging...
Abstract Photonic films based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainable candidates for sensors, structurally colored radiative cooling, and iridescent coatings. Such CNC‐based possess a helicoidal nanoarchitecture, which gives selective reflection with the polarization of incident light. However, due to hygroscopic nature CNCs, structural material changes may be irreversibly damaged at high relative humidity. Thus, moisture protection is essential in such settings. In this work,...
The plant cuticle is a hydrophobic barrier membrane found mainly on leaf surfaces and fruit skin. This work presents the structural properties of cuticle-inspired poly(hydroxyhexadecanoate) (PHHA), an ω-hydroxy fatty acid-derived biopolyester. PHHA was copolymerized cross-linked with glycerol by melt polycondensation, films were fabricated compression molding. study showed effect addition trifunctional comonomer thermal, mechanical, properties. neat PHHA, owing to its higher crystallinity,...
Petrochemical-based plastics are prevalent in the packaging industry. However, given their detrimental impact on environment, alternatives for future materials necessary. In this work, inspiration creating new types of was taken from plant cuticle structures nature. Potential eco-friendly solutions could be derived plants. We fabricated cuticle-like using molecules found natural cutins. A cross-linked material developed through melt polycondensation hexadecanedioic acid and glycerol with...
Summary Understanding structure‐property relationship between polymer‐nanoparticle interface and the distribution of interfacial region its properties is crucial in establishing bulk polymer like mechanical stability conductivity. In this article we try to draw a comparison effect silica nanoparticles modified with three different modifiers on oxy‐polybenzimidazole (OPBI) understand role played by chemical structure organic modifying molecule. We highlight how small changes chosen molecule...
The majority of plastics used today are produced from nonrenewable resources, and, depending on the end-of-life management, they may end up in landfills or nature, giving rise to microplastic pollution. A potential way minimizing this is use proteins, preferentially recovered organic waste and residues, make plastics. In line with this, we explored here protein-based bioplastics sourced single-cell protein (SCP). Films glycerol-plasticized SCPs (grown by recovering carbon cheese whey...
