With an increase in environmental pollution and microplastic problems, it is more urgent now to replace non-biodegradable films with biodegradable that are low-cost from renewable resources. Cotton gin motes (GM), a type of cellulosic waste generated cotton ginning, excellent candidate for fabricating due its properties abundance. In this study, GM was first mechanically milled into fine powder, followed by compounding polycaprolactone (PCL) extruded produce composite pellets which were then compress-moulded films. This environmentally friendly process used physical processing all the materials consumed without generating any residue. To improve compatibility mixing between PCL, use plasticiser (polyethylene glycol) considered. A high content powder (up 50%) successfully compounded polymer.

Abstract This review aims to present the different approaches lessen environmental impact of extrusion‐based additive manufacturing (MEX) process thermoplastic‐based resins and protect ecosystem. The benefits drawbacks each alternative, including use biomaterials or recycled materials as feedstock, energy efficiency, polluting emissions reduction, have been examined. First, technological option using a pellet‐fed printer was compared filament‐fed printer. Then, common biopolymers utilized in MEX applications are discussed, along with methods for improving mechanical properties associated printed products. introduction natural fillers thermoplastic biocomposite filaments proposed improve specific performance items, highlighting numerous challenges related their extrusion. Various polymers derived from recycling presented feeding raw printers reduce waste accumulation, showing inferior qualities resulting goods when products made virgin materials. Finally, consumption released into atmosphere during printing potential both aspects be controlled through material selection operating conditions.

Environmentalists emphasize the utilization of nontoxic, and biocompatible biopolymers in preference to toxic synthetic ones. To address this, we developed a composite material (cellulose-p-chitosan, Cel/C composite). The process involves complexation partially deacetylated chitosan (p-chitosan) onto cellulose (Cel) through hydrogen bonding electrostatic interactions. Extensive instrumental analyses revealed significant enhancements composite's porosity, crystallinity, thermal properties. crystallinity indices raw were 49.21% 55.60%, respectively, indicating an improvement crystallinity. Moreover, degradation temperature for peaked at 380 °C 600 °C, suggesting increased stability Cel/C. stands out with its remarkable advantages, including superior enhanced compared existing biopolymers. Additionally, innovative jackfruit periwinkle shells as sustainable precursor materials underscores alignment global drive environmentally friendly materials. practical applications wastewater treatment various industries significantly contribute advancing knowledge this field.

Abstract The present study investigates the transformation of algae waste into PEG/cellulose nanocomposites through a series chemical treatments, analyzing their structural, morphological, and physicochemical properties. FTIR analysis revealed progressive modifications, including emergence carboxylate peaks (1400-1450 cm⁻¹) after alkali treatment C=O stretching (1750-1800 following bleaching. XRD showed that crystallinity index increased from 47.0% (raw waste) to 49.5% (alkali-treated), but decreased 35.5% upon PEG incorporation, indicating disruption cellulose’s ordered structure. SEM images depicted morphological evolution heterogeneous matrix highly fibrillated structure post-acid hydrolysis, with grafting leading more compact morphology. Zeta potential surface charge variations, values decreasing -18.2 mV (raw) -22.6 while reduced it -10.4 mV, suggesting steric stabilization. DLS results confirmed reduction in hydrodynamic diameter 450 nm 215 (acid-hydrolyzed), highlighting size refinement. Anticorrosion properties were evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, revealing corrosion inhibition efficiency 87.6% at an optimal composite concentration. These findings highlight algae-derived cellulose-based composites as eco-friendly inhibitors for metal protection marine industrial environments.
