The present work deals with the development of a series trifunctional, fully biobased, sustainable polybenzoxazine composites for diverse applications, viz., high-dielectric, antibacterial, and corrosion-resistant uses. Thymol-containing trifunctional phenol (TTP) corresponding benzoxazines were prepared, molecular structure was confirmed using different spectroscopic analyses. Cure behavior TTP-benzoxazine resins studied differential scanning calorimetry. TTP furfurylamine-based benzoxazine (TTP-ff) monomer selected as binder matrix reinforced chicken feather carbon (CFC) cashew nut shell (cake/residue) (CNSC). value dielectric constant 15 wt % CFC CNSC separately filled poly(TTP-ff) possesses 8.69 8.91, respectively. It also observed that biobased exhibited substantial antibacterial activity, indicating their potential utility in materials requiring inherent resistance against microbial colonization. Also, poly(TTP-od)-coated fabric exhibits WIC 163°, which is superhydrophobic nature possess self-cleaning water-repellent surfaces. poly(TTP-ol) offers better protection mild steel surfaces from corrosive environment. Flexural strength its mechanical stability. Results studies showed developed exhibit good performance, antimicrobial behavior, anticorrosion applications.

The hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of biomass presents a sustainable approach for waste management and production value-added materials such as hydrochar, which holds promise an adsorbent support matrix bacterial immobilization applied, e.g., bioremediation processes sites contaminated with phthalate ester plasticizers diethyl (DEP). In the present study, hydrochar was synthesized from vine shoots (VSs) employing following parameters during HTC process: 260 °C 30 min 1:10 (w/v) biomass-to-water ratio. resulting (VSs-HC) characterized porosity, elemental composition, structural properties using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy. Elemental analysis confirmed presence key elements in VSs structure, essential char formation process. VSs-HC exhibited macroporous structure (>0.5 μm), facilitating (DEP) adsorption, adhesion, biofilm formation. Adsorption studies showed that achieved 90% removal rate 4 mM DEP within first hour contact. Furthermore, VS-HC tested consortium (Pseudomonas spp. Microbacterium sp.) known to degrade DEP. immobilized on demonstrated enhanced tolerance toxicity, degrading 76% 8 24 h, compared 14% by planktonic cultures. This study highlights VSs-HC's potential cost-effective material environmental bioremediation, offering cell viability, improved formation, efficient plasticizer removal.

Recently, terms such as sustainable, bio-based, biodegradable, non-toxic, or environment-benign are being found in the literature, suggesting an increase green materials for various applications future, particularly packaging application. The unavoidable shift from conventional polymers to is difficult, most bio-sourced not water-resistant. Nonetheless, Shellac, a water-resistant resin secreted by lac insect, used varnish coat, has been underutilized applications. Here, we review Shellac’s potential application replace and biopolymers. We also discuss isolation, starting insect its conversion Sticklac, Seedlac, Shellac. Further, chemistry of shellac resin, chemical structure, properties examined detail. One disadvantage Shellac that it becomes stiff over time. To enable usage extended time application, modification via physical means conferred. Furthermore, other polymer matrices effect reviewed. Lastly, non-toxic biodegradable nature explored comparing with traditional crude-based bio-based materials.
