According to previous research studies, consumers worldwide are searching for new natural-oriented hair products that both skin and environmentally friendly. Worldwide waste air pollution, with the consequent environmental disasters, represent greatest risk human health economy, further increased by COVID-19 pandemic. Among others, non-biodegradable molecules present in (fossil-based additives,...

Petroleum based thermoplastics are widely used in a range of applications, particularly in packaging. However, their usage has resulted in soaring pollutant emissions. Thus, researchers have been driven to seek environmentally friendly alternative packaging materials which are recyclable as well as biodegradable. Due to the excellent mechanical properties of natural fibres, they have been exten...

Food processing as one of the most important industries over the globe, however, byproducts of such industrial activity that are mainly organic material must be handling in appropriate manner to avoid any environmental violence. Sanitation and disposal problem of food processing by-products is priority hence many approaches were suggested including recycling of such ingredients and utilize in s...

BACKGROUND In order to obtain biomaterials with controllable physicochemical properties, hybrid biomaterials composed of biocompatible biopolymers and ceramic nanoparticles have attracted interests. In this study, we prepared biopolymer/ceramic hybrids consisting of various natural biopolymers and layered double hydroxide (LDH) ceramic nanoparticles via an electrophoretic method. We studied the...

Model lattices consisting of balls connected by central-force springs provide much of our understanding of mechanical response and phonon structure of real materials. Their stability depends critically on their coordination number z. d-dimensional lattices with z = 2d are at the threshold of mechanical stability and are isostatic. Lattices with z < 2d exhibit zero-frequency "floppy" modes that ...
