Advanced hybrid nanomaterials based on carboxymethyl-modified biopolymer: Green synthesis and application in sustainable antimicrobial products.

The utilization of agricultural by-products for the synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials represents an environmentally sustainable approach. This research aims to comprehensively investigate high-performance silver and copper nanoparticles hybrid materials based on carboxymethyl-modified cellulose / lignin derived from rice husks (CMC / CML-AgNPs and CMC / CML-CuONPs) and apply them for antimicrobial activities. CMC / CML was used to reduce Ag / Cu cations to the atomic level and then efficiently stabilize Ag / CuO nanoparticles, an eco-friendly method and sustainable development.

Lightweight Biobased Polyurethane Composites Derived from Liquefied Polyol Reinforced by Biomass Sources with High Mechanical Property and Enhanced Fire-Resistance Performance.

Lightweight biobased insulation polyurethane (BPU) composite foams with high fire-resistance efficiency are interested in building effective energy and low environmental impact today. This study focuses on manufacturing lightweight BPU from liquefied bamboo polyols and biomass resources, including rice husk and wood flour. Then, they are combined with three flame retardant (FR) additives, such as aluminum diethyl phosphinate, aluminum trihydroxide, and diammonium phosphate, to improve their fire resistance performance.

Role of noninvasive ocular imaging as a biomarker in peripheral artery disease (PAD): A systematic review.

This study aimed to review the current literature exploring the utility of noninvasive ocular imaging for the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Our search was conducted in early April 2022 and included the databases Medline, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and others. Five articles were included in the final review.

Sustainable Lignin-Based Nano Hybrid Biomaterials with High-Performance Antifungal Activity.

() and () mainly spread through airborne fungal spores. An effective control to impede the dissemination of the spores of in the air affecting the environment and food was carried out. This study focuses on the sustainable rice husk-extracted lignin, nanolignin, lignin/n-lignin capped silver nanoparticles used for fungal growth inhibition.

Natural sourced and non-toxic hybrid materials for boosting the growth of lettuce in a hydroponic system.

Nanostructured hybrid materials, fabricated by combining nanosilica (n-S) obtained from rice husk and oligochitosan (OC) obtained from the shrimp shell, are environmentally friendly substances that can applied in green agriculture. In this study, 50 mg/L of nanostructured hybrid materials were applied on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var.

Highly Functional Materials Based on Nano-Lignin, Lignin, and Lignin/Silica Hybrid Capped Silver Nanoparticles with Antibacterial Activities.

Rice husk is one of the most abundant biomass resources in the world, yet it is not effectively used. This study focuses on the sustainably rice-husk-extracted lignin, nano-lignin (n-Lignin), lignin-capped silver nanoparticles (LCSN), n-Lignin-capped silver nanoparticles (n-LCSN), and lignin-capped silica-silver nanoparticles (LCSSN), and using them for antibacterial activities. The final n-Lignin-based products had a sphere-like structure, of which the size varied between 50 and 80 nm.
