γ-Valerolactone as Bio-Based Solvent for Nanofiltration Membrane Preparation [PDF]

Membranes, 2021
γ-Valerolactone (GVL) was selected as a renewable green solvent to prepare membranes via the process of phase inversion. Water and ethanol were screened as sustainable non-solvents to prepare membranes for nanofiltration (NF).

Investigating bio-based solvents as a sustainable alternative in the formulation and fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces

AIP Advances, 2023
Organic solvents can be highly toxic to humans, causing damage to the tissues and toxin metabolizing systems. Petroleum-based solvents (such as n-hexane) are likely to trigger endocrine disruption in humans regularly exposed to them. Given this, there is
