Extraction and characterization of cellulosic fiber extracted from Vitex negundo L. stem.

This study investigates the characterization of Vitex negundo L. plant stem fiber (VNF), a novel and sustainable cellulosic material with potential for innovative applications. The plant stems were manually collected and processed using the retting method to obtain the fibers.

Characterization of anti bacterial biocomposite films based on poly lactic acid and prosopis juliflora bark powder.

Biocomposites can be a solution for environmental pollution and sustainability by acting as an alternative to petroleum-based products used in the field of packaging and biomedical applications. Herein, an attempt to valorize the potential of Prosopis juliflora plant to fabricate Polylactic acid (PLA) based biocomposites. The biocomposites comprised of Prosopis juliflora bark powder (PJBP) and PLA were fabricated by solution casting method with various weight percentages (Wt%) of PJBP.

Effect of Voltage and concentration of polyetherimide on surface morphology and corrosion properties of AZ91D by electro-spin coating.

Magnesium alloys, particularly AZ91D, exhibit promising mechanical properties but are susceptible to corrosion, limiting their widespread industrial applications. This manuscript investigates the impact of voltage and concentration of Polyetherimide (PEI) on surface morphology and corrosion characteristics of AZ91D through electro-spin coating. PEI, known for its high strength and corrosion resistance, is applied using an eco-friendly electro-spin coating method.
