Fish industries and markets produce large quantities of fish scales, skins, shells, and bone
wastes post processing that contaminate the environment and cause health risks in humans …

In this study the waste fish scales (FS) were dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium
acetate ionic liquid to obtain a valuable product of hydroxyapatite (HAp). The HAp was …

Chitosan is a naturally available biopolymer. It has been prepared by alkaline N
deacetylation process of shrimp (Crangon crangon) chitin and fish (Labeorohita) chitin. The …

Structural biomaterials such as nacre, bone, and fish scales possess unique structures that
have hierarchical spatial configurations, which provide excellent mechanical properties …

The interlinked fish scales of Atractosteus spatula (alligator gar) and Polypterus senegalus
(gray and albino bichir) are effective multilayered armor systems for protecting fish from …

Chitin is the most important natural polysaccharide after cellulose; however, it is not widely
used for industrial application because of its insolubility in many solvents. The present study …

In the present work, we report the effect of low‐temperature plasma treatment on thermal,
mechanical, and biodegradable properties of polymer composite blown films prepared from …

Benefiting from their unique morphological characteristics and structural properties, the
ventral bony plates of the Chinese sturgeon are excellent biological protective tissue. In this …

Metallic tungsten (W) was initially assumed to be environmentally benign and a green
alternative to lead. However, subsequent investigations showed that fishing weights and …

The microstructure of nacre consists of polygon-shaped aragonite mineral tablets bonded by
very thin layers of organic materials and is organized in a brick–mortar morphology. In this …
