Abstract Nature is a remarkable source of inspiration for developing sustainable and eco‐friendly synthetic procedures. In recent years, the synthesis cyclic carbonates has garnered significant attention due to their versatile applications in various fields, including materials science, pharmaceuticals, green chemistry. Drawing from nature, researchers have explored innovative routes that mimic biological processes produce efficiently sustainably. This article reviews nature‐inspired procedures carbonate formation, highlighting key strategies principles employed. Through biomimicry, aim harness efficiency selectivity observed systems develop greener more methods synthesis. Integrating bio‐inspired offers opportunities improving contributes reducing environmental impact associated with traditional chemical processes. review underscores potential approaches advancing field toward environmentally benign practices, focusing on literature.

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate minerals, known for their unique tubular structure, which have garnered significant interest a wide range of applications. This study explores the morphological changes HNTs when subjected to thermal treatment ranging from 25 °C 1100 using combination experimental characterization techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. Techniques such as solid-state NMR (SSNMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed analyse structural evolution. The results reveal two major transitions: first between 400 500 °C, corresponding release intercalated water partial distortion HNT second 900 1000 marked by collapse structure exposure alumina on surface. These findings provide insights into stability HNTs, informing future applications, especially in high-temperature environments.

Laponite vs. Montmorillonite as Eugenol Nanocarriers for Low Density Polyethylene Active Packaging Films

Nanomaterials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(23), С. 1938 - 1938

Опубликована: Дек. 2, 2024

Although a lot of recent research revealed advantages novel biopolymers' implementation as active food packaging polymers, there is not an equivalent effort from industry to use such films, probably because the required cost change supply chain and equipment. This study investigates two natural abundant nanoclays, laponite (Lap) montmorillonite (Mt), eugenol slow-release carriers for enhancing functionality low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. The target combine spirit circular economy with existent technology broadly used materials develop attractive product applications. Utilizing vacuum-assisted adsorption method, was successfully intercalated into Lap Mt forming EG@Lap EG@Mt nanohybrids. Testing results confirmed effective integration dispersion nanohybrids within LDPE matrix. most promising final film seems be 15%
