About 70 million tons of sulfur are produced yearly as a by-product of petroleum refining,
and 10 millions are overproduced and accumulated, thus requiring advanced recycling …

The inverse vulcanization (IV) of elemental sulfur to generate sulfur-rich functional polymers
has attracted much recent attention. However, the harsh reaction conditions required, even …

Slow-release fertilizers are developed to enhance the nutrient use efficiency (NUE), by
coating urea with less water soluble or hydrophobic material. Diverse range of materials …

Boron removal by novel sulfur-based boron selective adsorbent is herein reported. The
sulfur-based polymer prepared by the inverse vulcanization of sulfur and 4-vinylbenzyl …

In this study, a series of polysulfide polymers were synthesized using aqueous monomer
(sodium sulfide) and organic monomers (methylene dichloride, ethylene dichloride, 1, 4 …

Sulfur-rich polymers generated from the inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur with
unsaturated monomers have emerged as a family of organic polymers with unique …

Global enhancement of crop yield is achieved using chemical fertilizers; however, agro-
economy is affected due to poor nutrient uptake efficacy (NUE), which also causes …

To improve crop nutrient uptake efficacy (NUE) and better manage fertilization, slow-release
fertilizers (SRFs) are developed by either coating the urea granules or making a composite …

The obtainment of polymeric materials out of green, renewable, or sustainable building
blocks is an ongoing research area. Due to its large-scale derivation as a by-product of the …
