Nano Ultraviolet Finishing of Textiles Using Inorganic UV- Blockers–The Sustainable Approach of Producing Protective Clothing for Better Tomorrow
Abstract: The diminution of the ozone stratum,due to global warming, is likely to intensify existing health effects caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiations, as stratospheric ozone is a predominantly effective UV radiation absorber. As the ozone layer becomes thinner, the protective filter provided by the atmosphere is gradually abridged. Subsequently, human beings and the environment are exposed to higher UV radiation levels, particularly higher UV-B levels, which have the greatest …

Physico-mechanical, and Biodegradation Properties of Polyethylene/Food Polysaccharide Blends
Abstract: Hydrophilic/polar and hydrophobic/non-polar materials do not blend well, which causes issues in the production of biodegradable plastic. Plasticizer (glycerol) was one of the components added to the mixture to increase compatibility between the two materials; this also made the film less brittle. The purpose of this study is to look at how different food polysaccharide contents affect the physico-mechanical, and biodegradation characteristics of novel polymeric-based bio-composite films made from low-density …
