This paper covers a comprehensive review of the thermochemical conversion of rice husk (RH) into value-added products. RH is an organic residue and is produced in large quantities in China, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh ...

Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) of UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles dispersed in Cellulose Acetate (CA) were prepared with filler loading of 2–20 wt%. MMMs were tested for the upgradation of model biogas (60%–40%) mixture of CH4/CO2 ...

Blood vessel branch points exhibiting oscillatory/turbulent flow and lower wall shear stress (WSS) are the primary sites of atherosclerosis development. Vascular endothelial functions are essentially dependent on these ...

The separation of CO2 from the biogas mixtures (CH4/CO2) is essential for biogas upgradation. However, polymer membranes used for CO2 separation exhibit low permeability. Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) incorporating inorganic ...

Membrane-based CO2 separation is vital for various applications such as biogas upgradation. Polymer membranes are employed for CO2 separation in the industry. Polymer membranes have a trade-off between selectivity and ...

One of the most promising applications of nanocellulose is for membranes for energy storage devices including supercapacitors, batteries, and fuel cells. Several recent studies reported the fabrication of cellulose-based ...

Cellulose nanomaterial (CNM)-based foams and aerogels with thermal conductivities substantially below the value for air attract significant interest as super-insulating materials in energy-efficient green buildings. However, ...

Self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and underlies the formation of many complex systems from the molecular to the macroscopic scale. Kern–Frenkel-like patchy particles are powerful models to investigate this phenomenon ...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to demonstrate the effects of introducing anisotropicallyshaped silica (SiO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on the morphology of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-phenyl-C61-butyric ...

We describe two uncommon roles for Zn2+ in enzyme KpnI restriction endonuclease (REase). Among all of the REases studied, KpnI REase is unique in its DNA binding and cleavage characteristics. The enzyme is a poor discriminator ...
