The deposition of pesticides and their retention on plant surfaces are critical challenges for modern precision agriculture, which directly affect phytosanitary treatment, bioavailability, efficacy, the loss pesticides. Herein, a novel eco-friendly waterborne polyurethane delivery system was developed to enhance spray pesticide surfaces. More specifically, biobased cationic anionic dispersions were synthesized from castor oil. Both exhibited remarkable microstructural, amphiphilic,...

This work proposes a new approach to fabricate highly transparent and flexible composite films that exhibit enhanced UV-shielding properties. Lignin has innate However, when purified lignin, which is conventionally extracted through chemical treatment, mixed with polymeric materials, its presence negatively influences the transparency of resulting composite. High are desirable properties for many applications. In this study, composites were made by mixing lignocellulose particles polyvinyl...

Lignin is a natural light-coloured ultraviolet (UV) absorber; however, conventional extraction processes usually darken its colour and could be detrimental to UV-shielding ability. In this study, sustainable way of fabricating lignin–cellulose nanocrystals (L-CNCs) from hemp hurd proposed. A homogeneous morphology the particles was achieved by ball milling, L-CNCs with high aspect ratio were obtained through mild acid hydrolysis on ball-milled particles. The used as filler in polyvinyl...

Lignin is a natural source of UV-shielding materials, though its recalcitrant and heterogeneous structure makes the extraction purification processes complex. However, lignin's functionality can be directly utilised when it stays as native with cellulose hemicellulose in plant biomass, rather than being separated. The fabrication process this lignin sustainable, consumes less energy chemicals compared to purified lignin; thus, an economic more straightforward approach. In study, properties...

Traditional pesticide formulations show poor utilization and environmental safety due to their low foliage adhesion large auxiliaries. In this study, a novel environment-friendly indoxacarb formulation was prepared improve the pesticide’s rate, target control characteristics ecological security. Indoxacarb-loaded waterborne polyurethane–sodium alginate (PU/SA) nanoemulsions with film forming properties, alkaline responsive release, high effectiveness against Spodoptera litura, reduced acute...

Lignin-cellulose nanocrystals (L-CNCs) can be used as UV-functional fillers in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films for various applications. However, agglomeration of particles restricts their addition to 20 wt.% the polymer matrix due reduction mechanical properties. In this work, a new method is proposed produce flexible UV-protective composite film with superior amount L-CNCs (> 76 wt.%), where cellulose (CNCs) were co-reinforcing agent (20%) and synthetic was very low, i.e., 5% PVA. Hemp hurd,...

Microplastics, fragments of plastics from regular use, are causing severe environmental hazards and health dangers. They could be ingested by marine animals further enter the human food chain. Research shows that majority microplastics (35%) released in environment textiles. Therefore, there is an increasing interest studies textiles to control pollution their origin. To understand textiles, properties important. However, definition still confusing as most consider have a size &lt; 5 mm,...

This study investigates the impact of micro- and nanocellulose coatings on properties wool fabrics using solution blow spinning technique. The objective is to assess how varying cellulose sizes influence key fabric attributes, including physical properties, UV-shielding ability, air permeability water vapour permeability, with a focus their practical applications. Coating microcrystalline (MCC) was found increase significantly, whereas coating nanocrystals (CNCs) enhanced reduced pore size....
