Photothermal Interfacial Evaporation Characteristics of PVA/SA–CNT–Borax Hydrogel
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The desalination of seawater has demonstrated significant potential to use solar‐driven interfacial evaporation technologies due to its sustainability, outstanding productivity, and kindness to the environment. In this paper, a hydrogel interfacial evaporator was produced, with PVA and SA as the base materials. The addition of carbon nanotubes

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To
