Article Abstract
Nanolignin is a biomacromolecule nanomaterial obtained from lignin, a natural plant polymer. It has attracted considerable attention as a potential nanofiller for polymer composites owing to its remarkable properties, such as biodegradability, antioxidant activity, and high specific surface area. However, the development of biological macromolecule nano lignin-based polymer composites faces several challenges, mainly due to the complex structure and poor chemical compatibility of lignin with most polymers. A comprehensive summary of the functionalization strategies and synthesis techniques for nanolignin is provided in this article. The morphological, structural, and thermal characterization of nanolignin is also reviewed. Furthermore, this review summarizes the recent progress of nanolignin and its composites prepared using various polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol, poly (methyl methacrylate), polylactic acid, phenol formaldehyde, and natural rubber. This study concludes by outlining the possible uses of nanolignin-reinforced polymer composites and the potential opportunities and disadvantages of using nanolignin as a reinforcement in polymer composites for several value-added applications.

This study aims at the establishment of a universally applicable etching methodology to unveil the nanoscale crystalline structure of the matrix resin in fiber reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) composites scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline structure hierarchically consists of crystalline texture, spherulite and lamella. The details of these structures are key parameters to understand the relationship with the mechanical properties of the material for the advancement.

This review critically examines the rapidly advancing field of cellulosic natural fibre-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites, with a particular emphasis on material innovation aligned with sustainability and environmental responsibility. The review presents a systematic analysis of recent literature evaluating the mechanical, thermal, water absorption, wear, and machining characteristics of NFRP composites, as well as the influence of advanced processing approaches such as additive manufacturing. Special attention is given to the structure-property relationships and hybridisation strategies employed to address limitations such as relatively lower mechanical performance and durability compared to synthetic fibre composites.

Hydrogel-based bioinks are widely adopted in digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Modulating their mechanical properties is especially beneficial in biomedical applications, such as directing cell activity toward tissue regeneration and healing. However, in both monolithic and granular hydrogels, the tunability of mechanical properties is limited to parameters such as cross-linking or packing density.

The increasing concern over environmental pollution from brake dust and the adverse impacts of conventional brake pad materials, such as metallic, semi-metallic, and ceramic composites, has prompted the exploration of more sustainable alternatives. Traditional brake pads release harmful non-exhaust emissions that contribute to air pollution and wear down quickly, posing both environmental and operational challenges. This study investigates the development and performance evaluation of polymer friction composites enhanced with natural friction modifiers sourced from agricultural waste materials like walnut shell, coconut shell, and groundnut shell powders.

Positive temperature coefficient (PTC) materials are pivotal for safeguarding lithium iron phosphate batteries, yet their industrial application is hindered by critical drawbacks: excessive film thickness, high internal resistance, and poor solvent sustainability. Addressing these challenges, this study innovatively develops a solvent-free thermal rolling process to fabricate an asymmetric expansion polymer film, specifically thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) reinforced polyethylene (PE)/carbon composites, which significantly enhances the PTC effect. The core mechanism lies in the asymmetric thermal expansion of TPU and PE: this unique behavior disrupts the conductive carbon network, triggering a sharp PTC transition at around 120 °C.
