Over the last few decades, a variety of tissues and organs including skin, blood vessels, and hearts, etc., have all been produced in large quantities via 3D bio-printing. These tissues and organs are not only able to serve as building blocks for the ultimate goal of repair and regeneration, but they can also be utilized as in vitro models for pharmacokinetics, drug screening, and other purposes. To further 3D-printing uses in tissue engineering, research on novel, suitable biomaterials with quick cross-linking capabilities is a prerequisite. A wider variety of acceptable 3D-printed materials are still needed, as well as better printing resolution (particularly at the nanoscale range), speed, and biomaterial compatibility. The aim of this study is to provide expertise in the most prevalent and new biomaterials used in 3D bio-printing as well...

Since the last decade, ionic liquids have evolved as effective corrosion inhibitors. Ionic liquids are extensively used as potent corrosion inhibitors against metals and alloys because of their high solubility, low toxicity, low melting point, high polarity, and very high stability to thermal and chemical processes. This review would focus on the excellent inhibition properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids, as well as the different factors that affect the inhibition efficacy of these compounds, such as the effect of chain length, molecular surface area, and position of substituents attached to the imidazolium ring, and so on. This article discusses the recently analyzed imidazolium-based ionic liquids and their inhibition mechanisms as studied by employing several techniques such as Potentiodynamic polarization, Weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron micros...

The field of metallic materials deterioration, generally faced by the utilization of toxic compounds, discovered a promising research field in green chemistry. The application of inhibitors is a well-known strategy when metal corrosion needs to be avoided, prevented, controlled or mitigate. Green inhibitors are readily available, biodegradable, ecologically acceptable, sustainable and renewable sources. Their esteem broadens the numerous ranges of potential applications in various sectors besides “waste to energy” in the context of a circular economy. Extensive research on various biomass wastes such as corn stalks, nutshells, straw, forestry residue and plant waste-derived inhibitors tremendously has been utilized in corrosion mitigation in different industries to sustain the e...

Various quantum chemical parameters such as electronic density, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels, and the energy difference between highest and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (ELUMO-EHOMO), etc. were calculated. High EHOMO values suggests that the molecule can contribute the electrons towards bond formation; however, the lower values of ELUMO indicate that the molecule can easily accept the electrons. Besides that, the low value of the energy bandgap (ΔE) confirms the excellent inhibition efficiencies of the derivatives. Furthermore, b...

Because of the possible damage to public health and eco-diversity, high-efficiency clearance of these environmental contaminants is a serious concern. Improved nanomaterials (NMs) could perform a significant part in the exclusion of contaminants from the atmosphere. MXenes, a class of two-dimensional (2D) compounds that have got tremendous consideration from researchers for a broad array of applications in a variety of industries and are viewed as a potential route for innovative solutions to identify and prevent a variety of obstreperous hazardous pollutants from environmental compartments due to their exceptional innate physicochemical and mechanical features, including high specific surface area, physiological interoperability, sturdy electrodynamics, and elevated wettability. This paper discusses the recent progress in MXene-based nanomaterials' applications such as environmental remediation, with a focus on their adsorption-reduction characteristics. The removal of heavy metals, dyes, and radionuclides by MXenes and MXene-based nanomaterials is depicted in detail, with the adsorption mechanism and regeneration potential highlighted. Finally, suggestions for future research are provided to ensure that MXenes and MXene-based nanomaterials are synthesized and applied more effectively.
