Carbon fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implants have gained interest because of reported biomechanical advantages and radio-lucent properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CFR-PEEK nails in patients with metastatic bone disease (MBD). We performed a retrospective cohort study evaluating patients with MBD undergoing intramedullary (IM) nailing for prophylaxis or fixation of pathological fractures using CFR- PEEK or titanium implants.

Polymers have been ruling the packaging industry for decades due to their versatility, easy manufacturability, and low cost. The overuse of non-biodegradable plastics in food packaging has become a serious environmental concern. Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced nanocomposites have exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.

The demand for engineered composites particularly fiberglass reinforced polymers (FRP) is gaining momentum. The manufacturing of virgin input-resins for these composites involves the use of certain materials which poses serious environmental implication. This study has exclusively applied and investigated the Grey Forecasting model for management of FRP waste in developing countries to minimize the virgin inputs and likely environmental impacts.

In the present investigation, the formulation and thorough assessment of biodegradable composite films were conducted, utilizing pectin extracted from banana peel in conjunction with synthesized silver zeolite nanoparticles. The evaluation of physical properties, microstructural investigation, mechanical characteristics, and barrier properties was done providing valuable insights into various attributes of the film. The amalgamation of silver zeolite nanoparticles with the extracted pectin from banana peel results in biodegradable composite films exhibiting distinct physical, mechanical, barrier, and thermal properties.

This research follows the principles of circular economy through the zero waste concept and cascade approach performed in two steps. Our paper focuses on the first step and explores the characteristics of developed biocomposite materials made from a biodegradable poly(lactic acid) polymer (PLA) reinforced with natural fibers isolated from the second generation of biomass (agricultural biomass and weeds).
