Biopolymer processing and handling is greatly facilitated by the use of ionic liquids, given
the increased solubility, and in some cases, structural stability imparted to these molecules …

Wool keratin, a natural biopolymer, is potentially an important renewable source of raw
materials for the polyamide plastics industry. Large quantities of non-spinnable and short …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have advanced a variety of applications, including matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization–mass spectrometry (MALDI–MS). ILs can be used as matrices and …

Feathers, a form of keratin, are available in large quantities as a waste in many countries.
They could be a potential source of polyamides if suitable methods for the dissolution and …

Herein, a matrix-free approach is presented for comprehensive environmental and forensic
analysis of dyes and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) using Au–TiO 2 …

Wool is sensitive toward the effect of alkaline solutions which are usually used in the
dissolution of wool fibers to regenerate keratin. In this investigation, the effect of different …

Here, we monitor the dissolution of several natural protein fibres such as wool, human hair
and silk, in various ionic liquids (ILs). The dissolution of protein-based materials using ILs is …

Development of conductive fabrics causes usually deterioration of the some of the comfort
attributes of the final textile product. In this work, we propose a simple non-deteriorative …

Choline geranate (also described as Choline And GEranic acid, or CAGE) has been
developed as a novel biocompatible antiseptic material capable of penetrating skin and …

In this study, N-doped ZnO/TiO 2 core–shell nanocomposite was successfully
sonosynthesized and sonofabricated on wool fabric through a facile one-step method under …
