A review on effect of nanoparticle addition on thermal behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites.

Always, the environment in which humans live needs to be saved from various calamities, and one such calamity is usage of petroleum-based products. Petroleum-based products are derived from various synthetic processes that adversely affect the environment. It may not reflect immediately, but it affects in the near future.

A novel diode laser intervention in the management of external invasive cervical resorption.

"Invasive cervical resorption (ICR)" is a rare category of "external root resorption." It is a progressive and destructive condition with an unclear cause. Managing external "ICR" presents a significant challenge, even to the most seasoned dental professionals.

Extraction of microcrystalline cellulose from Ficus benghalensis leaf and its characterization.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a crucial component in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, culinary, and cosmetics. The growing demand for MCC has spurred research into extraction methods. This study focused on extracting MCC from Ficus benghalensis using acid hydrolysis to convert the alpha-cellulose content of its leaves into MCC.

Characterization of plant leaves biomass-based bioplasticizers for biofilm applications.

The present surge in environmental consciousness has pushed for the use of biodegradable plasticizers, which are sustainable and abundant in plant resources. As a result of their biocompatibility and biodegradability, leaf plasticizers (CLP) serve as viable alternatives to chemical plasticizers. First time, the natural plasticizers from the Calotropis leaves were extracted for this study using a suitable chemical approach that was also environmentally friendly.
