A review on Biochar and its Nanocomposites for Removal of Toxics from Wastewater

By Tamirat Lamaro Bate, Sivakumar Bandaru, Pulipati King, and Meena Vangalapati

Abstract: Biochar is a carbon-rich material formed by the thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited circumstances, providing a long-term solution for waste valorisation and environmental management. Because of its high stability, surface functional groups, and porous structure, biochar has been used extensively in pollutant adsorption, carbon sequestration, and soil amendment. Recent developments have produced biochar nanocomposites,…

Catalytic Applications of Carbon Nanodots

By Aapasthamba Govindasamy R. and Indra Neel Pulidindi

Abstract: Carbon nanodots (CNDs) owing to their hydrophilicity and multifunctionality and with ultrasmall size exhibit metal-like properties resulting in astounding catalytic performance. These nanostructures, typically less than 10 nm in diameter, possess unique physicochemical and electronic characteristics including tunable photoluminescence, high surface-to-volume ratio, abundant surface functional groups, and excellent electron transfer capabilities. Such properties have driven…

Effect of Nano-Fillers on the Mechanical and Fracture Behavior of Polymer Composite Matrices: A Review

By Yahaya Kudush Kawa and Salamatu Haja Bah

Abstract: The modification of polymer composite matrices through the incorporation of nano-scale fillers has become a prominent and highly effective strategy for enhancing mechanical performance, stiffness, and fracture resistance. Unlike conventional micro-scale reinforcements, nano-fillers possess exceptionally high surface area–to–volume ratios and unique physicochemical characteristics that significantly influence interfacial phenomena within the polymer matrix. Materials, such as…

Mechanical and Thermal Characterization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Structural Applications

By Vaibhav Godase, Amit pandhare, and Shivam Pandhare

Abstract: Natural fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional synthetic fiber composites owing to their environmental sustainability, low density, and competitive specific mechanical properties. However, a comprehensive and simultaneous evaluation of both mechanical and thermal performance of jute/sisal hybrid natural fiber epoxy composites under systematic fiber treatment conditions remains insufficiently addressed…
