Summary: This study investigated the preparation of biofilms using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) reinforced with Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) for food packaging. The results showed that the incorporation of 3 wt% ZnO-NPs into PHBHHx led to enhanced crystallinity, improved mechanical properties, and antimicrobial activity. However, at 6 wt%, the mechanical properties of the bionanocomposite sample decreased. Therefore, the PHBHHx/ZnO-NPs bionanocomposite at 3 wt% has potential for application in food packaging.

Summary: The rapid increase in the world population has led to a rise in the amount of waste textile products. These products have a significant environmental impact, as they generate a large amount of CO2, water, and chemicals during production. This study explored the reusability of waste denim to produce activated carbon samples for supercapacitor electrodes. The results showed that the denim-derived activated carbon exhibited pseudocapacitive behavior due to the nitrogen content, and demonstrated good capacitive retention after multiple charge-discharge cycles. This suggests that waste denim can be a viable raw material for energy storage systems.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.
