“…On the other hand, the bottom-up approach uses biological and chemical processes [44] . Some examples include using sol-gel, laser pyrolysis, plasma spraying, aerosol-based techniques, and green synthesis methods [45] , as shown in Table 2 . They have little or no adverse effect on the surface structure.…”

“…When a driving force is exerted across a membrane, substances are separated by the thin layer of semipermeable material that comprises the membrane. Depending on their chemical and physical characteristics, membranes act as a barrier, preventing some components from passing through [ 45 , 67 ]. Membrane filtration stands out as the most dependable conventional water treatment method because it is quick, easy to scale up, highly effective, and flexible enough to work with other cutting-edge treatment methods.…”

“…This is within the range but on the lower end compared to typical fiber aspect ratios, which span from 200 to several thousand. A higher aspect ratio generally indicates the potential for stronger yarns due to increased interfiber contact and the capacity to incorporate more fibers within the yarn cross-section, enhancing both the strength and flexibility of the fibers [46,47].…”

The global textile sector, pivotal to economic development, significantly contributes to environmental degradation, prompting a shift towards sustainable raw material sources. Embracing circular economy principles, this industry is exploring the valorization of agricultural by-products. This study introduces an innovative approach to repurposing mango waste into valuable textile fibers, a byproduct of the fruit processing industry, predominantly generated during juice and jam production. The focus is on the lignocellulosic constituents of mango waste, specifically the peel, seed, and fibrous material, traditionally considered as refuse. Previous research has predominantly utilized mango peel in pectin extraction for food applications, whereas the potential of seed and fibrous content remains underexplored. This investigation endeavors to transform these fibrous by-products into high-value materials suitable for textile manufacturing. The process involved washing, drying, and comprehensive physicochemical characterization of mango fibers, emphasizing lignin quantification, revealing a composition of 12.2% lignin. An experimental design was employed to elucidate the impact of variables such as liquid-to-solid ratio, reaction duration, and sodium hydroxide concentration on lignin dissolution through alkaline hydrolysis. Optimal conditions—10% NaOH concentration, 30 mL/g liquid-to-solid ratio over six hours—achieved an 83% reduction in lignin content. The resulting fibers exhibited properties akin to conventional natural fibers, including a favorable aspect ratio indicative of their suitability for textile applications. A subsequent softening process using propylene glycol enhanced the fibers' spinability, producing a durable, textured fabric ideal for eco-conscious fashion applications, including bags, footwear, and accessories. This research demonstrates the feasibility of converting mango waste into a textile-worthy material and underscores the importance of waste revalorization in promoting sustainability within the circular economy framework.

Metal oxides can be used as antimicrobial agents, especially since they can be fabricated into various forms such as films, masks, and filters. In particular, the durability of antimicrobial agents and the duration of their antimicrobial activity are important factors that determine their suitability for a specific purpose. These factors are related to the morphology and size of particles. The metal oxide Cu2O is often oxidized to CuO in various conditions, which reduces its antimicrobial activity. This study focused on the oxidation of nanoparticles of Cu2O with three morphologies, namely, spherical, octahedral, and cubic morphologies, in excessively humid and excessive-thermal environments for a specific duration and the antimicrobial activity of the NPs. Cu2O nanoparticles were prepared using the chemical reduction method, and their morphology could be varied by adjusting the molar ratio of OH− to Cu2+ and changing the reducing agent. It was found that cubic Cu2O was the most stable against oxidation and had the smallest reduction in antimicrobial activity. This study examined the antimicrobial activity and the oxidation stability of Cu2O NPs with different morphologies but similar particle sizes.
