Bio-based and nature-inspired solutions have been investigated recently to develop
sustainable, resilient, and durable construction including but not limited to roadway …

A linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) nanocomposite film with organically modified
clay (Cloisite 30B) as a filler and LLDPE-grafted-maleic anhydride as a modifier was …

Conventional approaches of making biochars are typically through single sourcing of the
feedstock. Here, we hypothesize that multi sourcing can be used to develop tailored …

Microplastics have become one of the greatest environmental challenges worldwide. To turn
this dramatic damage around, EU regulators now want to ensure that plastic itself is fully …

This study introduces an innovative bionanocomposite to enhance the sustainability of
asphalt pavements. The bionanocomposite is made from montmorillonite clay and castor oil …

Ionically cross-linked alginate hydrogels are used in a wide range of applications, such as
drug delivery, tissue engineering, and food packaging. A shortcoming of these gels is that …

Natural modifiers have become an excellent choice for wood modification. In this study,
industrial alkali lignin and organic-montmorillonite (OMMT) were synergistically applied to …

A sustainable alternative to the destination of polyethylene (PE) residue from the prepreg
package was established. This work intends to develop nanocomposites for packaging …

In the last three decades, nanoclay fillers have been increasingly used to improve the
mechanical, thermal, barrier and biological properties of the polymers. Nevertheless …

This paper examined the merits of using a polymer nanocomposite containing styrene-
ethylene/propylene-styrene (SEPS) and montmorillonite (MMT) clay to enhance bitumen …
