Over the past decade, biochar-supported nZVI composites (nZVI/biochar) have been
developed and applied to treat various pollutants due to their excellent physical and …

The treatment of wounds is expensive and challenging. Most of the available wound
dressings are not effective and suffer from limitations such as poor antimicrobial activity …

Employing new strategies to develop novel composite systems has become a popular area
of interest among researchers. Raising people's awareness and their attention to the health …

The purpose of this work is to develop a novel ultrathin fibrous membrane with a core-sheath
structure as antibacterial food packaging film. Coaxial electrospinning was exploited to …

The role of amylose content in electrospinning starch nanofibres is well understood, but that
is not the case for the roles of the molecular structures of amylose and amylopectin. Here …

Starch has attracted a lot of attention because it is biodegradable, renewable, nontoxic and
low cost. By adding antibacterial substances to starch, starch-based materials have …

The growing problem of resistant infections due to antibiotic misuse is a worldwide concern
that poses a grave threat to healthcare systems. Thus, it is necessary to discover new …

Two functionalized biochar composites (ZF@ CBC and SZF@ CBC) were fabricated and
applied for capturing Pb (II) and Cd (II) from wastewater. SZF@ CBC were achieved by …

The dressings containing nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides are promising types of
