Microplastics have become an inevitable component of our environment. Worldwide, free
public fountains are common and one of the best sources of drinking water which are being …

Although extensive effort has been made on developing self-healing materials with superior
durability, there still remain considerable limits in materials and processes for acquiring fully …

In recent years, there has been a trend toward replacing petrochemical raw materials with so-
called “bio” plastics, ie plastics from renewable sources. Herein, the susceptibility of …

In this chapter an overview of thermoplastic polymers used in fuse deposition modeling 3D
printing is given. Only the most common polymers that are used in the form of commercially …

Micro‐phase change materials (micro‐PCMs) are proposed to increase the thermal
conductivity and the thermal energy storage capacity of a heat transfer fluid (HTF). In this …

In this study, a new biomaterial with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium caseinate
(SodCa)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) structure was developed. Antibacterial effective …

The synergistic effects of thermoplastic poly (ether-ester) elastomer (TPEE) and bentonite
nanoclay on mechanical, morphological, thermal, and dynamic mechanical properties of …

The main goal of Anti-Shatter Films (ASFs) applications for structural glass is to create a
barrier able to keep together fragments and minimize risk after any impulsive or static load …

Natural resource-driven approaches to bioengineering plastics are being developed to
compete in the automobiles, power, and other sectors. Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) …

A novel cationic surfmer, methacryloxyethyl‐dimethyl cetyl ammonium chloride (DMDCC), is
synthesized. The micellar properties, including critical micelle concentration and …
