Graphene-based materials have attracted significant attention in many technological fields, but scaling up graphene-based technologies still faces substantial challenges. High-throughput top-down methods generally require hazardous, toxic, and high-boiling-point solvents. Here, an efficient inexpensive strategy is proposed to produce graphene dispersions by liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) throug...

   This procedure has developed the use of TiO2 nanoparticles as an environmentally friendly and highly efficient heterogenous nanocatalyst for the eco-safe, facile and one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of biologically active corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one/thione derivatives under solvent-free conditions. This eco-friendly protocol provi...

Chemically modifying vegetable oils to produce an alternative to petroleum-based materials is one of the most important emerging industrial research areas today because of the adverse effects of petroleum products on the environment and the shortage of petroleum resources. Biolubricants, bioplasticizers, non-isocyanate polyurethanes, biofuel, coating materials, biocomposites, and other value-ad...

A water soluble, Bronsted acid, 5-sulfosalicylic acid as an efficient organocatalyst was used for the synthesis of physiologically active 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol at reflux condition. Cost-effectiveness, use of non-hazardous solvents, metal free and commercially available catalyst, single-step, environmentally fri...

In this study, a variety of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives were synthesized via three-component Biginelli reaction. The quaternary ammonium- treated clay -catalyzed process proved to be simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

This study explores the “green” business model for the digital economy. Specifically, it asks whether online consumers will pay more to purchase from a company that they perceive to be socially responsible when it comes to the environment. We conduct an experiment where consumers are presented with different facts regarding the environmental practices of a fictional online retailer of digital m...
