“…AS particles have also been studied as fillers to improve the flexural strength and Young's modulus of polypropylene (Chiou et al, 2015;El Mechtali et al, 2015) and polymethyl methacrylate (Sabbatini et al, 2017) composites, where the reinforcement were further enhanced by reduced granule size (Sabbatini et al, 2017), torrefaction (Chiou et al, 2016(Chiou et al, , 2015, and NaOH treatment (El Mechtali et al, 2015). Recently, AS was applied as a catalyst to mediate a three-component tandem reaction to produce antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer drugs (Kamali-Gharamaleki et al, 2021).…”
