Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents: A New Environment Friendly Solvent

Saurabh Kumar Tiwari, Pratibha Yadav, Mrigank Mauli Dwivedi, Kamlesh Pandey

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 1-26 · 10.55121/nefm.v5i1.1182

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 b

Ag Nanoparticles Obtained by Green Synthesis as Bactericidal Agents in Water-Based Paints

Sandra Gabriela Gomez de Saravia, Silvia Elena Rastelli, Erasmo Gamez Espinosa, Natalia Bellotti, Cecilia Deya, Marisa Viera

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 40-51 · 10.55121/nefm.v5i1.1265

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.

Utilizing Liquid Crystals for Environmentally-Friendly Smart Coatings and Eco-Composites: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Hassanein Shaban

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 52-71 · 10.55121/nefm.v5i1.1281

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.
