With the burning issue of air, land and water pollution, the premonition of looking forward
towards a future devoid of any kind of oil and gas reserves has caused a paradigm shift …

Rapeseed seeds are characterized by highly nutritious fat content and supreme fat/dry basis
ratio. Rapeseed with wild mustard ranks second in oilseed cultivation after soybeans, while …

In the study walnut shells (WS) and silanized walnut shells (S_WS) were used as cellulosic
fillers for novel polyurethane (PU) composite foams. The impact of 1, 2 and 5 wt% of WS and …

Abstract Copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) have toxic effects on the environment at elevated
concentrations, and thus, the effective removal of these elements from aqueous media is of …

Among different organic fillers, the chemical composition of Syzygium aromaticum,
commonly known as cloves, has great potential as a sustainable reinforcement for polymeric …

Increasing emphasis on the circular economy is driving the development of environmentally
friendly rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs). In this work, polyurethane foams were altered …

This article raised the issue of studies on the use of new bio-polyol based on white mustard
seed oil and 2, 2'-thiodiethanol (3-thiapentane-1, 5-diol) for the synthesis of rigid …

Developing polyols derived from natural sources and recycling materials attracts great
interest for use in replacing petroleum-based polyols in polyurethane production. In this …

In this study, the possibility of using sawdust, a by-product of primary wood processing, as a
filler (WF) for rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams was investigated. The effects of the addition of …

This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in research and development
dealing with polymers derived from plant oils. It highlights the widening interest in novel …
