Natural Fiber–Reinforced Cement Mortar Composite Physicomechanical Properties: From Cellulose Microfibers to Nanocellulose
(ASCE, 2023-02-28)
Using asbestos in building materials is a risk to human health, which has driven the interest in utilizing other natural fibers, such as cellulosic fibers, in cement-based building materials. There have been studies on ...
Process design, kinetics, and techno-economic assessment of an integrated liquid phase furfural hydrogenation process
(2023-12-08)
The integrated liquid phase process for producing furfuryl alcohol involves three stages: i) liquid–liquid extraction for recovering furfural from the aqueous solution obtained after a conventional steam-stripping hydrolysis ...
Sustainable antibacterial collagen composites with silver nanowires for resistive pressure sensor applications
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Considering the circular economy and the increasing need of smart materials for the digitalization of society, it is essential that these materials are based on bio-resources. Thus, in order to replace synthetic by natural ...
Exploring ionic liquid-laden metal-organic framework composite materials as hybrid electrolytes in metal (ion) batteries
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09)
This review focuses on the combination of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) to obtain composite materials to be used as solid electrolytes in metal-ion battery applications. Benefiting from the ...
Exploring chemical reactions to enhance thermal and dispersion stability of kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Lignin has been overlooked and used as a waste for long due to its complex and partially hydrophobic structure. Many efforts have been carried out to overcome these deficiencies and apply it as a high-value product, which ...
A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
Spatio-seasonal patterns of the impact of wastewater treatment plant effluents on antibiotic resistance in river sediments
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
There is a growing concern about the risk of antibiotic resistance emergence and dissemination in the environment. Here, we evaluated the spatio-seasonal patterns of the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
The versatility of collagen and chitosan: From food to biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biodegradable polymers obtained from renewable resources, such as chitosan and collagen, are sustainable alternatives to develop environmentally friendly materials. Due to their abundance, biocompatibility and antimicrobial ...
