New biodegradable trays based on cassava starch blended with sugarcane bagasse (SB),
as the main component, and cornhusk (CH), malt bagasse (MB), or orange bagasse (OB) …

Polymer nano-composite fertilizer formulation has the potential to enhance nutrient use
efficiency. Slow release fertilizer (SRF) composite was formulated by incorporating nano …

With an increasing world population of nearly eight billion which is expected to expand
towards nine billion by 2050, future food demands will rise unavoidably. Primary productivity …

There have been a lot of reports on the preparation and properties of superabsorbent
polymers, but there are still some problems and limitations in practical application …

We demonstrate a simple, inexpensive and non-enzymatic optical probe for the detection of
urea using functionalized magnetic nanofluid. The nanofluid used here is an oil-in-water …

A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was synthesized by solution polymerization. The influence
of synthesis technology was studied and optimized, and FTIR, SEM, and TGA were used to …

BACKGROUND The high ureolytic activity of rumen microbiota is a concern when urea is
used in ruminant feed, because it leads to fast urea conversion, resulting in possible …

Recently, glycerol has been exploited in a number of industrial applications, thanks to its
high availability, its low cost and, overall, its peculiar properties which fit well with the green …

The ever‐growing need for new tissue and organ replacement approaches paved the way
for tissue engineering. Successful tissue regeneration requires an appropriate scaffold …

Copolymers of urea and succinic acid (U/SA) and urea, succinic acid and glycerol
(U/SA/GLY) were prepared through green mechanochemical reactions, without the use of …
