Biodegradable and Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites for Sustainable Biomedical Applications
Abstract: Liposomal drug delivery has evolved into a viable approach in modern pharmacology thanks to its enhanced bioavailability, reduced systemic toxicity, and targeted drug release. Conventional liposomes have limited stability, medicine leakage, and short circulation times among other problems. Overcoming these limits, the inclusion of nano-polymers into liposomal formulations has transformed medication delivery. Thorough research has been done on the potential of nano-polymers including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and …

Implement Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Engineering Design, Predictive Modeling, and Optimizing Polymer Nanocomposites
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites are high performance engineered materials obtained by inclusion of nano-sized fillers into the polymer matrix to enhance mechanical, thermal, electrical, barrier and functional properties. However, the complex and non-linear interactions among polymer chemistry, nanofiller characteristics, filler concentration, dispersion, interfacial bonding and processing conditions make it challenging to anticipate and maximize their properties. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer powerful data-driven solutions to these difficulties by establishing …

Integration of Green-Synthesized Calcium Nanoparticles in Natural Polymer Matrices by Bio-Nanocomposite Approach to Calcium Fortification
Abstract: Calcium deficiency continues to pose a widespread nutritional challenge, particularly in vulnerable populations. In this study, a bio-nanocomposite-based fortification strategy was developed using calcium nanoparticles (CaNPs) synthesized via green chemistry from Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi keerai) leaf extract. The nanoparticles, ranging between 50–150 nm in size, were characterized by SEM and embedded into buckwheat flour a naturally polymer-rich food matrix containing proteins, starch, and dietary fibers.

Polypropylene Fibres in Cementitious Composites: A Critical Review of Polymer Structure, Processing, Interfacial Behaviour and Performance
Abstract: Polypropylene (PP) fibres are widely used as secondary reinforcement in cementitious composites, yet their performance is governed as much by polymer structure and interfacial chemistry as by dosage. This review synthesises 50 primary sources (2003-2025, concentrated post-2015) to examine how PP molecular structure, fibre-manufacturing history, morphology, surface properties and environmental ageing govern fibre-matrix interaction and multiscale composite performance. Isotacticity, molecular weight, crystallinity and drawing ratio are shown to set the …
