In an article recently published in the journal Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, the researchers presented a strategic approach for the development of a biodegradable composite filter via the underlaying of commercialized cellulose paper towels under electrospun zein fibers. They also reported a detailed analysis of its applications in air filtering.
Green roofs are a key tool in the reduction of the phenomenon known as the ‘urban heat island effect,’ an increasingly common scenario where cities replace vast areas of natural land cover with dense areas of buildings, pavements, and other features which absorb and retain heat.
The phenomenon of acid mine drainage represents a major source of environmental pollution, prompting the need for innovative solutions to minimize and address this.
An MIT team has engineered a primarily plant-based composite material using CNCs which make up between 60%-90% of the material. If scalable, the material could present an opportunity to fabricate more sustainable natural polymers. The full details of the research are published in the journal Cellulose.
In a recent study published in the journal Applied Acoustics, researchers from Brazil analyzed pseudostem fibers extracted from banana plants as a potential sound-absorbing material.
In a recent study published in the journal Materials Today: Proceedings, researchers reviewed Industry 4.0 and the latest developments in smart materials, smart designs, and faster data transmission.
Belt scale weighing systems are essential to most bulk materials handling facilities, from food processing plants to cement manufacturing and mining sites.
A study in the journal Results in Materials explores the synthesis of graphene nanosheets from plastic waste.
Lubricants are vital for industry as they reduce friction and wear in machine parts. However, their manufacture is currently unsustainable, with research into green alternatives in recent years seeking to address this issue.
Biodegradable polymer materials have been widely explored over the past few years for the treatment and repair of tissues and organs, and a new study published in Frontiers in Materials has investigated repairing Achilles tendon injuries with these advanced materials.
