electrospun polyurethane (PU) fibers modified with copper and zinc oxide as potential …

The objective of this study was to compare two types of natural short fibers, one lignin-rich
and one lignin-poor, as reinforcing filler of bio-composite plastic in accelerated aging …

An effective fire retardant system was developed composed by traditional intumescent flame
retardant (IFR) and a new-typed nano-synergist (PAMA-SDBS-LDH, P@ L), and their …

Removal of organics from wastewater is a tedious process and industries are looking for a
facile, energy efficient strategy of wastewater treatment for producing clean water and …

The design of biocomposite structures for outdoor applications should consider the influence
