A hybrid polyol consisting of a polycaprolactone diol/castor oil mixture was used to synthesize a biopolyurethane (BPU) that has a dendritic point but is soluble in organic solvents. The chemical structure of the obtained BPU was determined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of the electrospun BPU nanofiber were confirmed using a universal testing machine. To enhance the solubility of triclosan (TR), TR-cyclodextrin (CD) complexes were prepared. αCD, βCD, and γCD were used to study the formation of the TR-CD complexes using a coprecipitation technique. The results showed that TR did not form a complex with αCD, whereas it forms complexes partially with βCD and completely with γCD. These findings are supported by FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analyses. The electrospun BPU/TR-CD nanofibers were investigated in terms of morphology, releasing behavior, and antibacterial tests. The BPU/TR-γCD nanofiber shows better antibacterial activity than the others. The results obtained in this study are expected to broaden the range of biobased polyurethane applications where antibacterial properties are required.

The development of ultrafiltration (UF) polymeric membranes with high flux and enhanced antifouling properties bridges a critical gap in the polymeric membrane fabrication research field. In the present work, the preparation of novel PES membranes incorporated with carrageenan (CAR), which is a natural polymer derived from edible red seaweed, is reported for the first time. The PES/CAR membranes were prepared by using the nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method at 0.

The development of bio-based flame retardants has garnered significant attention, however, significant challenges remain in achieving efficient flame retardancy and eco-friendly preparation methods. Herein, we propose a facile, atomic-efficient, and eco-friendly strategy for synthesizing a trinity chitosan-based flame retardant, phosphite-protonated chitosan (PCS). The chemical structure was systematically analyzed and the impact of varying degrees of protonation on the dissolution behavior and rheological properties were investigated.

The conventional method of dyeing cellulose diacetate (CDA) fabric with disperse dyes consumes significant amounts of fresh water and dispersants, contributing to environmental pollution and health hazards. This study explored the use of liquid paraffin as an alternative to aqueous mediums for dyeing CDA fabric with Disperse Blue 56 dyes, eliminating the need for dispersants. An L orthogonal array was used to optimize dyeing conditions based on the color strength values.

The intricate multi-level microstructure of starch, formed through extensive inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds, significantly influences the processability and performance of starch-based products. Consequently, the ability to effectively manipulate the multi-level microstructure holds substantial implications for the development of biomass products. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing high-frequency electric field (HFE) to produce a transparent and robust starch product.

Coated paper with bio-based components has sparked attention as a food packaging alternative to plastic. This study focusses on development of environmentally friendly packaging solution by electrospraying shellac over paper's surface. The goal of the study is to reduce the time of fabrication, by optimising the process parameters, concentration; 20, 30, and 40%w/v, flow rate; 10, 20, and 30 ml/h, and coating time; 100, 200, and 300 s (Concentration (% w/v))/ Flow rate (ml/h)/ time (sec)), in order to get better GSM (grams per square meter), COBB (grams of water absorbed per square meter), KIT (oil resistance ability), and WVTR (water vapor transmission rate).
