The pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model has become among the most popular ways
to fit rate data for adsorption of metal ions, dyes, and other compounds from aqueous …

This review article was prompted by a remarkable growth in the number of scientific
publications dealing with the use of nanocellulose (especially nanofibrillated cellulose …

The natural world provides many examples of multiphase transport and reaction processes
that have been optimized by evolution. These phenomena take place at multiple length and …

The contact angle Θ measured on rough, absorbing substrates is known to decrease with
proceeding imbibition of the drop. We demonstrate that the impact of three absorption …

Superhydrophobic materials have been the subject of extensive research over the last
decade. The extreme water repellence of superhydrophobic surfaces derived from a highly …

Fabrication and optimization of conductive scaffolds capable of inducing proper intercellular
connections through electrical signals is critical for neural tissue engineering. In this …

The separation of lignin from the black liquor generated during alkaline pulping is reviewed
in this article with an emphasis on chemistry. Based on published accounts, the precipitation …

To obviate adverse effects from the non-biodegradability of certain polymer-based slow-
release fertilizers (SRFs) and to offset higher operational costs, the use of biopolymers as …

There is an increasing demand for natural fibres worldwide due to their renewable and
biodegradable nature. This paper reviews many aspects of natural fibres, focusing on the …

Using cellulose as matrix and different contents of banana peel powder (BPP) as filler, the
wet composites were prepared. These films were immersed in 3 mM aq. silver nitrate source …
