1. Exploring Biopolymer-Clay Nanocomposite Materials by Molecular Modelling
Abstract : In this thesis, bio-nanocomposites made from two alternative biopolymers and montmorillonite (Mnt) clay have been investigated by molecular modelling. These biopolymers are xyloglucan (XG) and chitosan (CHS), both of which are abundant, renewable, and cost-effective. READ MORE

3. 3D printing of Green Water Purification Filters : Design towards Sustainable and Scalable Biocomposite Materials
Abstract : The globally escalating water pollution and water scarcity necessitates the development of efficient and sustainable water treatment technologies. This thesis investigates the feasibility of utilizing renewable and waste materials in the form of green composites for the fabrication of water purification filters via Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).

4. Nanopolysaccharide coatings for functional surfaces in water-treatment materials : From mechanisms to process scalability
Abstract : In this thesis, materials from renewable resources were used to develop functionalized surfaces for water treatment. The work is thus inspired by, and contributes to, the United Nations sustainable goals of: (i) clean water and sanitation, (ii) climate action, (iii) responsible consumption and production, (iv) life below water, and (v) partnerships for the goals.

5. Properties of poly(lactic acid) in presence of cellulose and chitin nanocrystals
Abstract : Plastic based materials are widely used for industrial and domestic packaging application. However, disposal of such petroleum-based materials e.g. polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) has become a huge threat to the environment. READ MORE
