Explained: Cellulose Nanofibers
Due to the
pressures of a growing population and rapid growth in materials research,
manufacturing demands have resulted in unsustainable use of petrochemical
resources which in turn have contributed greatly to global pollution and climate
change. In today’s more eco-conscious society, environmentally friendly
biopolymers present a sustainable alternative to fossil-based resources.Introduction In
this regard, cellulose is the main component of lignocellulosic biomass and is
the most

Nanotechnology in Agriculture
The improvement in
agriculture is crucial for the resolving of problems that comes with increasing
food consumption. Nanotechnology offers promising results in the improvement of
key aspects in agriculture such as soil quality, agrochemical efficiency,
environmental protection, and animal production efficiency. Introduction
The global population has been
rapidly increasing each year and has reached 7.8 billion as of July 2020 with
59% living in Asia. This number is expected to reach 9.

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Sponges
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanoscale, strong and hollow
cylinders which shows excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Based on
their orientation and configuration in the structure, they can be used in many
practical applications such as supercapacitors, catalytic electrodes, flexible
heaters, superhydrophobic coatings, biomimetic surfaces, artificial muscles,
and integrated microelectromechanical systems. IntroductionThese different forms of CNTs
can be vertically aligned arr

Using Nanotechnology to Identify those Most at Risk from COVID-19
It’s now obvious that the pandemic of COVID-19 is the number one concern
for everyone from all over the world as the surge of Coronavirus has led to the
closedown of proactive closure of schools and universities and the lockdown of
many cities in all four corners of the world. Furthermore, many scientific
conferences have been called off and the global economy has seriously been
affected due to the consequences of the outbreak. Vahid Javan KouzegaranAnalytical Chemist (Ph.D.) / Nanogra
