Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on using enzyme-hydrolysis of Acalypha hispida plant leaves to create nanocellulose, showcasing its eco-friendly and biocompatible benefits.
  • The enzyme used, xylanase, was sourced from Bacillus pumilus and shown to effectively hydrolyze xylan, leading to the successful synthesis of enzyme-hydrolyzed nanocellulose (EHNC).
  • The produced EHNC has desirable properties like small particle size (15-40 nm) and low production cost, indicating its potential for efficient and sustainable applications in advanced materials.

Background: Though treatable, osteoporosis continues as a substantially underdiagnosed and undertreated condition. Bone mineral density (BMD) monitoring will definitely aid in the prediction and prevention of medical emergencies arising from osteoporosis. Although quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is one of the most widely accepted tools for measuring BMD, it lacks the contribution of bone architecture in predicting BMD, which is significant as aging progresses.

This research highlights the synergistic use of carbon black (CB) and chitin nanofibers (CHNFs) for developing green tyres for the first time. The CHNFs (12-30 nm) were prepared from chitin powder with the help of steam explosion and mild oxalic acid hydrolysis. The CHNFs were uniformly dispersed in natural rubber (NR) latex, dried, and mixed with CB in a two-roll mill to form NR/CB/CHNF composites.

Patients with diabetes who are closely monitored have a higher overall quality of life than those who are not. Costs associated with healthcare can be decreased by utilising the Internet of Things (IoT), thanks to technological advancements. To satisfy the expectations of e-health applications, it is required for the development of the intelligent systems as well as increases the number of applications that are connected to the network.
