For the first time, we incorporated mesoporous micro-silica (5 μm, pore size = 50 nm) as a filler in epoxy resin aiming to enter polymer into the pore of the silica. As expected, the thermal stability of the composite increased remarkably, followed by noteworthy thermal degradation kinetics when com...

Abstract Biodegradable polymer/bioceramic composite scaffolds can overcome the limitations of conventional ceramic bone substitutes, such as brittleness and difficulty in shaping. To better mimic the mineral components and microstructure of natural bone, a novel nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp)–chitosan c...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted from jute fibers are moderately high in length (up to 1200 nm) and diameter (up to 90 nm). Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) (pSiDm) is a custom made copolymer with trimethoxy silane groups at one end which facilitates to rea...

Gelatin films were prepared from gelatin granules in aqueous medium by casting. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break and the glass point of the gelatin films were found to be 27 MPa, 100 MPa, 4% and 51.7°C, respectively. After irradiated with gamma radiation tensile properties were...

The mechanical properties of the coir fibers were evaluated in this study. Tensile strength (TS), Young’s modulus (YM) and elongation at break (Eb%) of virgin coir fibers were found to be 152 MPa, 5.3 GPa and 36%, respectively. Coir fibers were treated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation and were found ...

Enzyme immobilization ensures an excellent base for rising availability of enzymes to the substrate with greater turnover over a considerable period of time. Several natural polysaccharides, inorganic materials, or synthetic polymeric supports have been used for the last few decades by applying vari...
