Newest firstThe growing interest in sustainable materials has prompted extensive research into plant fiber reinforced polymer composites as alternatives to synthetic fibers (e.g. glass, carbon). This review explores the tribological behavior, wear resistance, and mechanical properties of various plant fibers, like Abaca, Banana, Hemp, Jute, Coir etc., when incorporated into epoxy matrices. It analyzes the chemical composition…
Open article record in new tab ↗Pristine tin diselenide (SnSe2) and graphene oxide-decorated SnSe2 (SnSe2-GO) nanocomposites were synthesized via a facile chemical bath deposition (CBD) method and investigated the photoconductive and nonlinear electrical transport properties. Structural and spectroscopic analyses confirmed the formation of highly crystalline hexagonal SnSe2 and the successful incorporation of GO within the composite structure. T…
Open article record in new tab ↗Natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are increasingly popular as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic materials due to their low density, biodegradability, and renewability. In this investigation, a unique hybrid epoxy biocomposite was produced using Aquilaria agallocha gum as a biofiller and snake grass and hemp fibers as reinforcement. Hand lay-up followed by compression molding was used to create composi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Natural fibers have emerged as sustainable alternatives to synthetic materials in textile applications due to their biodegradability, renewability, and diverse functional properties. Derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources, fibers such as cotton, jute, hemp, flax, silk, and bamboo demonstrate excellent physical and mechanical characteristics suitable for apparel, home furnishing, and industrial textiles. T…
Open article record in new tab ↗Biodiesel is a renewable fuel with great potential, but its quality can decline over time due to oxidation, which forms harmful compounds like peroxides, aldehydes, and alcohols. This study examines the oxidative stability and storage life of biodiesel made from non-edible oils such as hemp, karanja, castor, and amla. The stability was evaluated using parameters, like peroxide value, totox value, conjugated diene…
Open article record in new tab ↗Unidirectional moisture-conducting fabrics were prepared by electrospraying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) onto three green fabric substrates, namely cotton, hemp, and modal. Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of coating thickness, coating material, and substrate material on the moisture conductivity of the fabrics. The electrospraying technique was effective in forming…
Open article record in new tab ↗Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae, result in rice bacterial blight, is the most severe bacterial disease affecting rice, and in certain regions, it is considered the most critical disease overall, with the potential to reduce yields by as much as 50%. It is difficult to control rice bacterial blight and lacking of pesticides. 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-β-carboline (THC) and their analogues show a diverse range of activities;…
Open article record in new tab ↗The utilization of waste materials for the synthesis of nanoparticles has gained significant attention due to its potential for waste valorization and contribution to circular economy. In this study, bimetallic nanoparticles were produced using extracts derived from Cannabis sativa and Vitis vinifera waste, focusing on their green synthesis and antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, specifically se…
Open article record in new tab ↗A scalable synthesis of 7-hydroxy cannabidiol (7-OH CBD), a primary metabolite of (-)-cannabidiol (CBD), is highly desirable, from an industrial point of view, to enable future clinical trials. A Piers-Rubinsztajn reaction was key to enable a mild deprotection and a concise synthesis of 7-OH CBD from commercially available CBD, in 31% overall yield.
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp is known for its swift growth and remarkable sustainability, requiring significantly less water, an adaptable cultivation to a wide range of climates when compared to other fibers sources, making it a practical and environmentally friendly choice for packaging materials. The current research seeks to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from hemp fibers using alkali treatment followed by acid hydrolysis and…
Open article record in new tab ↗The elimination of heavy metals, especially lead, from wastewater is vital for the environment and human health and using a proper adsorbent to achieve this goal is highly desirable. Initially, Fe-THC MOF was prepared using a simple method and functionalized using MXene for efficient, rapid, and selective elimination of lead. Different characterization tools demonstrated that Fe-THC MOF and its composite Fe-THC/MX…
Open article record in new tab ↗A high-quality buffer layer serves as one of the most significant issues that influences the efficiency of solar cells. Doping in semiconductors is an important strategy that can be used to control the reaction growth. In this study, the influence of Ag doping on the morphological, optical and electrical properties of CdS thin films have been obtained. Herein, we propose the mechanism of CdS film formation with an…
Open article record in new tab ↗The extraction of phenolic compounds from defatted hempseeds was optimized using a simplex lattice mixture design with three solvents (water, methanol, and acetone). The response variables were total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity evaluated by different spectrophotometric tests. The results showed that the binary acetone-water mixture in equal proportions is the optimal combination to achieve the…
Open article record in new tab ↗The development of efficient, cost-effective and stable N-doped carbon material with catalytic activity as an excellent catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for renewable energy systems. In this study, the unique tip-half-closed N-doped carbon nanohorns (THC-N-CNHs) were firstly produced by the positive pressure-assisted arc discharge method using N2 as the nitrogen source. Benefitting from…
Open article record in new tab ↗Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), a serine hydrolase, converts endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) to arachidonic acid (AA) and glycerol in the brain and plays a bidirectional role in controlling nueroinflammation. MAGL, involved in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, is a promising target for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, the irreversible inhibitors of MAGL lead to the desensitizati…
Open article record in new tab ↗The low performance of middle infrared (MIR) PbSe detectors fabricated from vapor phase deposition (VPD) technology restricts the rapid development of VPD technology and detector commercialization. A modified VPD process was proposed to duplicate the microstructural features of high-performance CBD-PbSe detectors for a breakthrough in the VPD technology. A peak detectivity D* of 1.6 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W-1 at 298 K wa…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp wastes (stems and branches), fractionated after hemp flower extraction for the production of cannabidiol oil, were utilized as a potentially renewable resource for the sugar flatform process. Hydrolysis of cellulose from the acid pretreated hemp biomass using a commercial enzyme was tested and evaluated for its chemical composition, morphological change, and sugar recovery. Acid pretreated hemp stems and bran…
