Influences of Nanostructuring and Densification Processes on the Lattice Thermal Conductivity of n -Type Indium Antimonide

Abstract Indium antimonide (InSb), an n-type narrow-band gap semiconductor, has attracted considerable interest in intermediate-temperature thermoelectric (TE) applications due to its excellent electronic transport properties; however, its relatively high lattice thermal conducti...

Sustainable development of multifunctional epoxy composites reinforced with jujube seed particles

Abstract This study investigates the multi-functional performance of epoxy composites reinforced with Indian wild jujube ( Ziziphus mauritiana ) seed particles as a sustainable and low-cost reinforcement. Composites were fabricated by hand layup with particle concentrations of 4,...

Integrated Upcycling of Rice Straw into Electrospun Nanocellulose Chemiresistors and Lignin Nanoparticles with Superior Photoprotection

Abstract Open-field burning of rice straw, an abundant source of renewable biomacromolecules, remains a major environmental and public health concern. Herein, we report an integrated upcycling strategy that simultaneously valorizes rice-straw-derived cellulose and lignin into hig...
