Abstract:
In the present study, nanocellulose was extracted from palm leaves to synthesize nanocellulose/chitosan nanocomposites for the removal of dyes from textile industrial wastewater. Nanocellulose is of interest in water purification technologies because of its high surface area and versatile surface chemistry. Following bleach, alkali, and acid treatments on palm leaves, nanocellulose is obtained as a white powder. The produced nanocellulose was investigated. The adsorption capacity of chitosan, nanocellulose, and novel synthetic nanocellulose/chitosan microbeads (CCMB) for direct blue 78 dye (DB78) removal was studied. A series of batch experiments were conducted in terms of adsorbent concentration, mixing time, pH, dye initial concentration, and nanocellulose concentration in synthetic microbeads. The CCMB was characterized by using physicochemical analysis, namely Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), zeta potential analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was found that the surface area of synthetic CCMB is 10.4 m2/g, with a positive net surface charge. The adsorption tests showed that the dye removal efficiency increases with an increasing adsorbent concentration. The maximum removal efficiencies were 91.5% and 88.4%, using 14 and 9 g/L of CCMB-0.25:1. The initial dye concentrations were 50 and 100 mg/L under acidic conditions (pH = 3.5) and an optimal mixing time of 120 min. The equilibrium studies for CCMB-0.25:1 showed that the equilibrium data were best fitted to Langmuir isothermal model with R2 = 0.99. These results revealed that nanocellulose/chitosan microbeads are an effective eco-adsorbent for the removal of direct blue 78 dye and provide a new platform for dye removal.

Abstract:
Organic solvents used for electrolytes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are generally not only toxic and explosive but also prone to leakage due to volatility and low surface tension. The representative dyes of DSSCs are ruthenium-complex molecules, which are expensive and require a complicated synthesis process. In this paper, the eco-friendly DSSCs were presented based on water-based electrolytes and a commercially available organic dye. The effect of aging time after the device fabrication and the electrolyte composition on the photovoltaic performance of the eco-friendly DSSCs were investigated. Plasma treatment of TiO2 was adopted to improve the dye adsorption as well as the wettability of the water-based electrolytes on TiO2. It turned out that the plasma treatment was an effective way of improving the photovoltaic performance of the eco-friendly DSSCs by increasing the efficiency by 3.4 times. For more eco-friendly DSSCs, the organic-synthetic dye was replaced by chlorophyll extracted from spinach. With the plasma treatment, the efficiency of the eco-friendly DSSCs based on water-electrolytes and chlorophyll was comparable to those of the previously reported chlorophyll-based DSSCs with non-aqueous electrolytes.

Abstract:
Microcapsules are employed extensively in various applications; however, most are composed of synthetic plastics. Thus, substitution of their component materials is essential to prevent environmental problems associated with primary microplastics. Herein, we report the synthesis of eco-friendly silica core–shell microcapsules for fragrance retention. The silica shell was prepared via oil/water emulsion template synthesis using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), which was added to the immature silica microcapsules prior to complete formation of primary silica shells to promote seeded growth for further reaction of silica. The thickness of the silica shell increased from 42.29 to 70.03 nm, while the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and internal pore area decreased from 155.16 and 30.08 m2/g to 92.28 and 5.36 m2/g, respectively. The silica microcapsules with lower surface areas retained fragrance for more than 80 days, even in a harsh environment of 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 60 °C, whereas the fragrance compound in those without additional TEOS treatment was completely released within seven days. Practical qualitative evaluation of fragrance was also performed for application in fragrance delivery because of the enhanced long-term fragrance retention ability. Our findings show the widespread potential of microcapsules synthesized from eco-friendly materials in industrial applications.

Abstract:
Oil palm plantations produce palm kernel shell (PKS) that can be converted into biochar for environment-friendly soil remediation and water treatment. Oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may enhance surface characteristics and the quality of low-rank PKS biochar as a sorbent for environmental decontamination. This study aims to determine the effect of oxidation on the surface characteristics (i.e., specific surface area, surface charge, and chemical properties) of PKS biochar, and compared with that of PKS activated carbon. The surface area for the oxidised PKS biochar was similar to that of PKS biochar, indicating that oxidation did not remove the pore blocking material from the surface area of the PKS biochar. However, oxidation has increased the amount of negatively charged oxygen functional groups in PKS biochar, as indicated by the analyses of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The CEC value of raw and activated PKS biochar were similar and 4.6 and 2.6 times lower for PKS biochar and oxidised PKS biochar, respectively. Oxidation caused enlargement of pores on PKS biochar and caused a reduction of specific surface area. More research is required to establish the process conditions to create a greater surface area and sorption capacity.

Abstract:
The [Formula: see text]-methylol dimethyl phosphono propionamide (MDPA) flame retardant compounds are predominantly used for cotton fabric treatments with trimethylol melamine (TMM) to obtain better crosslinking and enhanced flame retardant properties. Nevertheless, such treatments are associated with a toxic issue of cancer-causing formaldehyde release. An eco-friendly finishing was used to get formaldehyde-free fixation of flame retardant to the cotton fabric. Citric acid as a crosslinking agent along with the sodium hypophosphite as a catalyst in the treatment was utilized. The process parameters of the treatment were enhanced for optimized flame retardant properties, in addition, low mechanical loss to the fabric by response surface methodology using Box–Behnken statistical design experiment methodology was achieved. The effects of concentrations on the fabric’s properties (flame retardancy and mechanical properties) were evaluated. The regression equations for the prediction of concentrations and mechanical properties of the fabric were also obtained for the eco-friendly treatment. The R-squared values of all the responses were above 0.95 for the reagents used, indicating the degree of relationship between the predicted values by the Box–Behnken design and the actual experimental results. It was also found that the concentration parameters (crosslinking reagents and catalysts) in the treatment formulation have a prime role in the overall performance of flame retardant cotton fabrics.

Abstract:
Slurry is a necessary material in high-speed railway pile foundation construction. A lot of waste slurry which is harmful to the eco-environment will be generated after the construction is finished. If the slurry isn’t disposed properly, it will cause serious pollutions to the environment. This paper analyses environmental impact of waste slurry through four aspects: surface water, crops, soil and wastewater treatment system etc. Finally, it gets the conclusion that there are four methods to reduce the environmental pollutions of waste slurry: the first one is using the environment-friendly slurry in pile foundation construction; the second one is raising the slurry use efficiency; the third one is decreasing the amount of slurry usage and the output of waste slurry; the last one is developing the more eco-friendly waste slurry treatment methods.

Abstract:
L'industrie textile s’intéresse depuis longtemps aux propriétés superhydrophobes et auto-nettoyantes. Le dépôt de composés fluorés à longues chaînes carbonées à la surface des textiles est actuellement le moyen le plus efficace d’obtenir de telles propriétés. En raison de leurs effets néfastes sur la santé et l'environnement, ces composés doivent être remplacés conformément à la réglementation REACH. Dans cette thèse, la polymérisation plasma a été choisie pour concevoir des traitements de surface durables, superhydrophobes et respectueux de l'environnement pour textiles. Dans ce contexte, la possibilité de contrôler temporellement et spatialement la cinétique de polymérisation plasma d'un précurseur modèle largement étudié à l'IS2M, à savoir l'anhydride maléique, a été démontrée dans un réacteur original d'un mètre de long. De plus, la possibilité de contrôler les propriétés chimiques et morphologiques des films polymères a été abordée. Suivant une méthodologie expérimentale similaire, le contrôle de la polymérisation plasma d'un précurseur organosiliconé, à savoir l’hexaméthyldisiloxane (HMDSO) a été étudié pour obtenir un revêtement superhydrophobe vert. L'accent a été mis sur la compréhension de la résistance au lavage de ces revêtements en caractérisant la cohésion du revêtement et de son adhérence à la fibre. Enfin, un second précurseur non fluoré a été testé en tant qu’alternative innovante à l’HMDSO. En contrôlant finement les paramètres temporels et spatiaux de la décharge plasma, les performances de superhydrophobie des polymères plasma et leurs durabilités ont pu être modifiées, soulignant l’approche tout à fait pertinente développée dans ce travail de thèse
The textile industry has been interested for long in water-repellency and self-cleaning properties. Deposition of fluorinated compounds with long carbon chains on the surface of textiles is currently the most efficient solution to reach such properties. Because of their harmful effects on health and environment, these chemicals have to be replaced in accordance with REACH specifications. During this PhD work, plasma polymerization process has been chosen as a good candidate to engineer durable, superhydrophobic and eco-friendly surface treatments for textiles. In this context, we successfully demonstrated the possibility to control temporally and spatially plasma polymerization kinetics of a model precursor widely studied at the IS2M, namely maleic anhydride, in an original one-meter long reactor. More than that, the possibility to control the chemical and morphological properties of plasma coatings was particularly addressed. Following a similar experimental methodology, the control of plasma polymerization of an organosilicon precursor, namely hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO), was investigated to get eco-friendly superhydrophobic coating. A focus was made on the understanding of thin film resistance to washing by characterizing coating cohesion and adhesion to the textile fiber. Finally, a second fluorine-free precursor was tested as an innovative alternative to HMDSO to engineer eco-friendly superhydrophobic coatings. By a fine tuning of temporal and spatial parameters of the plasma discharge, water-repellency performances of plasma polymer coatings and their durability could be significantly modified, highlighting the interesting approach developed during this PhD work

Abstract:
Arena of nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of bioremediation to overcome the problems of environmental pollutions. Approaches applied for the monitoring and treatment of contaminants includes control of pollutants, sensing the pollutants and remediation by nanoparticles. Among the three approaches, the most important is to remediate the pollutants. This chapter highlights the eco-friendly, accurate, cost effective, ex-situ and sustainable approach for the “Green Bioremediation” with the help of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles covers the treatment of surface water, groundwater and industrial wastewater contaminated by toxic metal ions, radionuclides, organic and inorganic solutes and also reduce aromatic recalcitrant compounds from soil and air pollution. There is also a scope of enhancing the remediation potential of nanoparticles by manipulating size and geometry. They have given a new hope towards positive sustainable approach for environment and human welfare.

Abstract:
In this study, the use of natural fibres (flax and basalt) in combination with a recyclable epoxy matrix based on cleavable amines is suggested for improving the sustainability of marine industry. In addition, a new and eco-friendly anodizing process based on tartaric sulfuric acid solution (TSA) and a pore widening step in a NaOH aqueous solution was carried out on aluminium alloy (AA5083) to evaluate its effect on the adhesion strength and damage tolerance after low velocity impact of co-cured adhesive joints with a basalt fibre reinforced and recyclable laminate. The durability in marine environment was simulated by exposing samples to salt-fog spray conditions over a period of 90 days. Results highlighted the potential of the proposed natural fibre composites, even though the interfacial adhesion with the recyclable matrix needs to be improved, while the anodizing treatment significantly increased the damage tolerance of the joints irrespective of ageing, impact energy and temperature compared to the reference joints.

Abstract:
The environmental pollution and the rapid depletion of fossil fuel caused by the rapid increase in industrial production became serious problems for humans. These issues have inspired many researchers to found eco-friendly materials, which can degrade pollutants and produce green energy. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films are one of the important and promising semiconductor materials for environmental and energy applications because of their unique optical and electronic properties. In this chapter, an overview of the background of TiO2 structure and the different methods of synthesis TiO2 thin films were carried out. The photocatalytic water treatment and the water split for H2 production by TiO2 thin films were investigated. The strong influence on photocatalytic and water split efficiency of TiO2 thin films by crystal structure, surface area, crystalline structure, average particle size and porosity were summarized.

Abstract:
Lamina made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and Aluminium (Al) is used widely in many applications, especially in food packaging (TetraPak containers). However, it's found that the adhesive bond between LDPE-Al is low due to the hydrophobic surface of LDPE. Therefore, there is a strongly need for surface modification of LDPE. Corona discharge, which is considered as an atmospheric pressure plasma technique was used in this research to treat LDPE surface by adding polar functional groups (e.g. hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups) into the exposed non-polar surface which led to increase surface free energy and then greater wettability and a smaller contact angle, and finally the adhesion between LDPE-Al improved significantly.

Abstract:
Metallic particles in various amounts are commonly used in the brake-pad-formulations to improve the friction, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, heat dissipation, fade etc. The same metallic particles, however, lead to increase in wear. To overcome the wear related problem and to improve the tribo-performance further, wettability/surface free-energy (SFE) of metallic particles needs to be improved so that they will not be easily dug out contributing to higher wear that without metal particles. Current era is of copper-free friction materials. Hence, in this work, stainless steel particles (SSPs) and copper particles were treated with low pressure argon plasma gas using optimised processing parameters (viz., gas- Argon, power- 500 W, treatment time-20 min.,). A series of four multi-ingredient brake-pads using identical composition but differing in the theme-ingredients (3 vol.%) was developed. First two types of brake-pads were based on untreated identical sized particles (SSPs and Cu) and another two types of brake-pads were based on plasma treated particles. One more type of brake-pad was developed without metallic particles. The developed brake-pads were evaluated for different physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Tribological performance was evaluated on a full-scale dynamometer following test schedule (JASO C406). Additionally, noise-vibration (NV) performance was evaluated on NV test rig following SAE J 2521 (partly) test schedule. Results revealed that most of the tribological properties along with NV properties were improved for treated particles in brake-pads. The topography of worn brake-pads was done to understand the wear mechanisms.

Abstract:
Humans are vulnerable and easily prone to all kind of injuries, diseases, and traumas that can be damaging to their tissues (including its building unit, cells), bones, or even organs. Therefore, they would need assistance in healing or re-growing once again. Medical scaffolds have emerged over the past decades as one of the most important concepts in the tissue-engineering field as they enable and aide the re-growth of tissues and their successors. An optimal medical scaffold should be addressing the following factors: biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical properties, scaffold architecture/porosity, precise three-dimensional shape and manufacturing technology. There are several materials utilized in the fabrication of medical scaffolds, but one of the most extensively studied polymers is polylactic acid (PLA). PLA is biodegradable thermoplastic aliphatic polyester that is derived from naturally produced lactic acid. PLA is characterized with its excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, promising eco-friendly, and excellent biocompatibility. PLA can be fabricated into nanofibers for medical scaffolds used through many techniques; electrospinning is one of the widely used methods for such fabrication. Electrospinning is a favorable technique because in the preparation of scaffolds, some parameters such as fiber dimensions, morphology, and porosity are easily controlled. A problem that is associated with medical scaffolds, such as inflammation and infection, was reported in many cases resulting in a degradation of tissues. Therefore, a surface modification was thought of as a needed solution which mostly focuses on an incorporation of extra functionalities responsible for the surface free energy increase (wettability). Therefore, plasma technique was a favorable solution for the surface treatment and modification. Plasma treatment enables the formation of free radicals. These radicals can be easily utilized for grafting process. Subsequently, ascorbic acid (ASA) could be incorporated as anti-inflammatory and anti-infection agent on the plasma pretreated surface of scaffolds.

Abstract:
This paper is a review on mechanical characteristics of natural fibers reinforced elastomers (both thermoplastics and thermosets). Increasing environmental concerns and reduction of petroleum resources attracts researchers attention to new green eco-friendly materials. To solve these environmental related issues, cellulosic fibers are used as reinforcement in composite materials. These days natural fibers are at the center of attention as a replacement for synthetic fibers like glass, carbon, and aramid fibers due to their low cost, satisfactory mechanical properties, high specific strength, renewable resources usage and biodegradability. The hydrophilic property of natural fibers decreases their compatibility with the elastomeric matrix during composite fabrication leading to the poor fiber-matrix adhesion. This causes low mechanical properties which is one of the disadvantages of green composites. Many researches have been done modifying fiber surface to enhance interfacial adhesion between filler particles and elastomeric matrix, as well as their dispersion in the matrix, which can significantly affect mechanical properties of the composites. Different chemical and physical treatments are applied to improve fiber/matrix interlocking.
