application as a renewable biopolymer. Therefore, starch modification is needed …

In this investigation, new porous adsorbent beads were formulated via the incorporation of
graphene oxide (GO) into cellulose acetate beads (CA) for the adsorptive removal of …

The market for durable products using modified wood has increased substantially during the
last few years. This is partly because of the restriction on the use of toxic preservatives due …

In this study, a multi-featured adsorbent was developed for the adsorptive removal of
hexavalent chromium (Cr 6+) ions. Herein, aminated graphene oxide (GO-NH 2) was firstly …

Natural polymers are at the center of materials development for biomedical and
biotechnological applications based on their biocompatibility, low-toxicity and …

Because of its high biocompatibility, bio-degradability, low-cost and easy availability,
cellulose finds application in disparate areas of research. Here we focus our attention on the …

Cellulose acetate was synthesized from rice husk by using a simple, efficient, cost-effective
and solvent-free method. Cellulose was isolated from rice husk (RH) using standard …

With skyrocketing interest and achievement of tremendous research efforts, perovskite solar
cells are on the verge of commercialization. However, the stabilities of precursors and …

Innovative carbon dioxide (CO2) capture approaches are urgently needed to lower and
reverse CO2 emissions that lead to climate change. Here, we report the design, fabrication …
