Nanocellulose Hybrid Reinforcement in Surface‐Modified Pistachio Shell/Epoxy Composites: A Multiscale Interface Engineering Strategy for Lignocellulosic Biomass‐Based Materials

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Sustainable high‐performance epoxy composites reinforced with functionalized pistachio shell waste and nanocellulose. ABSTRACT In this study, pistachio shell waste (PShW) was used as a lignocellulosic reinforcing phase in an epoxy matrix to develop sustainable composite materials, and its surface properties were tailored using various chemical ...

Spent Artemisia arborescens as a Biowaste Filler for Melt‐Processed PBSA Biocomposites With Enhanced Disintegration and Aerobic Biodegradation

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Spent Artemisia arborescens biomass, recovered after essential‐oil steam distillation, was ground and melt‐compounded with PBSA (10 and 20 wt%), yielding biocomposites with accelerated biodegradation. ABSTRACT Artemisia arborescens is a Mediterranean shrub widely used for essential oil production, generating significant amounts of spent biomass after ...

Structural and Rheological Properties of Chitosan‐Biochar Composites Prepared With Waste Biomass‐Derived Biochar

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan dispersions containing biochar derived from vine pruning residue showed increasing shear stress and improved thermal stability with loading. Flow behavior was described by the Bingham plastic model in all cases. These results support the valorization of agricultural waste in functional biopolymer formulations.
