“…The viscosity and solubility of a material can be influenced by its molecular weight, chain morphology, and the nature of the bonds. [87] Straw and wood wastes can be converted into cellulose by extracting them from their cell walls. Generally, the chain consists of a series of links composed of 1,4 glucose species linked in a linear chain of 1,4 glucose species with different degrees of polymerization.…”

The ever‐growing demand of human society for clean and reliable energy sources spurred a substantial academic interest in exploring the potential of biological resources for developing energy generation and storage systems. As a result, alternative energy sources are needed in populous developing countries to compensate for energy deficits in an environmentally sustainable manner. This review aims to evaluate and summarize the recent progress in bio‐based polymer composites (PCs) for energy generation and storage. The articulated review provides an overview of energy storage systems, e. g., supercapacitors and batteries, and discusses the future possibilities of various solar cells (SCs), using both past research progress and possible future developments as a basis for discussion. These studies examine systematic and sequential advances in different generations of SCs. Developing novel PCs that are efficient, stable, and cost‐effective is of utmost importance. In addition, the current state of high‐performance equipment for each of the technologies is evaluated in detail. We also discuss the prospects, future trends, and opportunities regarding using bioresources for energy generation and storage, as well as the development of low‐cost and efficient PCs for SCs.

“…Use of Natural Biopolymers and Composites: Gelatin is not the only natural polymer that has been explored as a scaffold or additive to enhance bone regeneration and there is currently a trend away from synthetic polymers toward green biopolymers [111]. Collagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and chitosan are some of the most studied natural polymers for bone regeneration, a topic thoroughly reviewed recently by Filippi et al [112].…”

Infection remains one of the largest threats to global health. Among those infections that are especially troublesome, osteomyelitis, or inflammation of the bone, typically due to infection, is a particularly difficult condition to diagnose and treat. This difficulty stems not only from the biological complexities of opportunistic infections designed to avoid the onslaught of both the host immune system as well as exogenous antibiotics, but also from changes in the host vasculature and the heterogeneity of infectious presentations. While several groups have attempted to classify and stage osteomyelitis, controversy remains, often delaying diagnosis and treatment. Despite a host of preclinical treatment advances being incubated in academic and company research and development labs worldwide, clinical treatment strategies remain relatively stagnant, including surgical debridement and lengthy courses of intravenous antibiotics, both of which may compromise the overall health of the bone and the patient. This manuscript reviews the current methods for diagnosing and treating osteomyelitis and then contemplates the role that nanotechnology might play in the advancement of osteomyelitis treatment.

“…Therefore, the problem of efficient utilization of such wastes is an urgent one. One of the possible effective methods of its utilization can be the application in epoxy composites [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][30][31][32]. From a literature search it follows that these materials, (with their apparent simplicity and solid age of use) have been studied sporadically.…”
