Recent years have seen rapid growth in utilizing vegetable oils to derive a wide variety of
polymers to replace petroleum-based polymers for minimizing environmental impact …

New biobased polyurethane (PU) coatings with high lignin content were developed and
characterized in this work. These materials were based on a α, ω-diisocyanate monomer (1 …

The sustainability of the polymeric materials has become a fundamental challenge;
therefore, the development of new biobased formulations has gained increasing interest …

In this work, we for the first time developed a novel lithium-containing crosslinked polymeric
material, a lithicone that enables excellent protection effects over lithium (Li) metal anodes …

As biocompatible metallic materials, titanium and its alloys have been widely used in the
orthopedic field due to their superior strength, low density, and ease of processing …

Abstract Two structures of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), with different solubility properties,
were prepared, characterized, and applied as fluorescent-based probes to detect Hg 2+ …

Polyurethanes are gaining increasing interest for their use as structural components
subjected to cyclic loads, such as leaf springs. Thermoset polyurethane (PUR) based …

This study reports the fabrication and performance of sustainable polyurethane (PU) films
based on wheat starch (native NS, modified MS), bio-polyols (1, 3-propanediol PD, glycerol …

Lithium metal (Li) is commonly regarded as the “holy grail” of rechargeable batteries and
can serve as anodes for constituting various high-energy lithium metal batteries (LMBs) …

This work aims to synthesize novel thermoresponsive hydrogels from renewable resources,
bacterial cellulose (BC), and castor oil (CO), and to investigate the effect of CO on physical …
