The current research presents the elaboration of lignocellulosic reinforced polymer composites based on urban pruning wastes (UPW), recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) and water-based acrylic resin. In doing so, UPW ...

The transition from insulator to electro-responsive has been successfully achieved by earlier studies for some inorganic materials by applying external stimuli that modify their 3D and/or electronic structures. In the case ...

Electrically polarized amorphous silica (aSiO2) is demonstrated to be an efficient and viable metal-free heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical products. The catalyst was prepared applying ...

Skin is a barrier that protects us against physical, chemical and biological agents. However, any damage to the skin can disrupt this barrier and therefore compromise its function leading to sometimes catastrophic consequences ...

From the environmental perspective, it is essential to develop eco-friendly materials for water and wastewater treatment that can be integrated into the most effective technologies till now employed in this field. In this ...

Sustainable strategies to generate electricity using natural resources, such as sunlight (photovoltaic cells) and wind (wind towers), have driven a significant change in our homes in terms of electricity consumption. Herein, ...
