Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are important in the health-care and personal care
industries. Products like bed pads and diapers improve the comfort and sanitary conditions …

Thermoelectric (TE) devices, both TE generators (TEGs) and TE coolers (TECs), have short
service lives as TE materials undergo degradation from sublimation, oxidation and reactions …

Oil sorbents—namely materials that can be used to extract oil after a spill—were fabricated
from non-woven polyethylene terephthalate (NWPET) fibers modified by the adherence of …

The present work deals with the preparation of some oil sorbers based on cellulose
derivatives to control petroleum oil spills. In this respect, hydroxypropyl cellulose HPC was …

A facile method for synthesis of environmentally friendly magnetite nanomaterials (MNMs)
was applied using hydrophobic biocomponents as capping and stabilizing agents. The …

In this study we publish a novel attempt to macroporous, polymeric cryogels (MPCs) by
electron-beam (EB) initiated free radical crosslinking polymerization of (meth) acrylates in …

Protein drugs like growth factors are promising therapeutics for damaged‐tissue repair.
Their local delivery often requires biomaterial carriers for achieving the therapeutic dose …

Oil pollution, as a result of human activities and natural events, has catastrophic effects on
human life and living organisms. Once an oil spill has occurred, it spreads to the water …

Hydrophobic cellulosic composites with the nano form of metal oxides possess good
absorptive and adsorptive potentials. Native cellulose was regenerated, benzylated …

In this work, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was used to synthesize hydroxypropylcellulose
acrylate (HPCA) macromonomer by esterification of HPC with acryloyl chloride in …
