The fabrication of materials and chemical synthesis depend substantially on solvents. They are strategic part of the green chemistry framework. In accordance with green chemistry, solvents need to qualify certain parameters, such as biodegradability, non-toxicity, non-flammability, recyclability & reusability, low cost etc. to be termed as green solvents. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are emerging... more

To control the proliferation of microorganisms and its associated risks, protective surface coatings are being developed. Among the most promising solutions is the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into paint formulations. Traditional physical and chemical nanoparticles synthesis pose health and environmental risks. The concept of “green nanoparticles” refers to the synthesis of nanopa... more

Liquid-crystalline (LC) materials—traditionally known for displays—are now emerging as sustainable functional materials. In particular, plant-derived LCs (cellulose nanocrystals, hydroxypropyl cellulose, etc.) and bio-based polymer networks can form biodegradable, stimuli-responsive coatings and eco-friendly composites. Recent advances have enabled green synthesis of LCs using waste biomass (e.g.,... more
