The sanitary napkin market is flourishing continuously due to increasing self-hygiene awareness in females. The commercially available sanitary napkins are mostly synthesized using petroleum based raw materials which are non-biodegradable in nature. With the growing global trend towards the adoption of eco-friendly, biodegradable and renewable raw materials, researchers are trying to design and manufacture sanitary napkins with natural, bio-based materials ensuring customer's comfort and healthcare.

In the modern era, polymyrcene, a sustainable polymer made from renewable resources, offers a potential path towards the advancement of green products. Here, we successfully created and characterized the first-ever all-bio-based composite films using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) made from agricultural waste, polylactic acid (PLA), and polymyrcene. Environmentally acceptable substitutes for traditional polymer composites have been made possible by incorporating CNCs into the PLA-Polymyrcene matrix, which produced materials with improved structural and functional qualities.

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) are the most abundant components of the organic matter in the compost. However, the key chemical structures for the bioactivity of HA/FA and how these structures being affected by composting conditions are not fully understood. The changes in chemical compositions between HA and FA were primarily driven by differences in the contents of carboxyl C, aromatic C, O- alkyl C and C/N ratio.

Traditional phenolic resin adhesives involve the use of petrochemical-based phenol, raising environmental and health concerns. In this study, lignin was demethylated to substitute for phenol and prepare a high-lignin-content adhesive with perfect shear strength performance. The hydroxyl content of demethylated lignin can reach up to 6.

Objective: Failure of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation results in unnecessary patient risk and resource waste. We sought to identify potentially addressable risk factors for fistula failure-to-mature (FTM) to cannulation readiness.
Methods: We conducted a single-institution retrospective review of patients undergoing primary AVF creation from 2015-2021.
