Abstract: Abstract In the present work, environment friendly non-fluorinated superhydrophobic composite coatings were developed using naturally available carnauba wax from palm tree, Copernicia prunifera. The hierarchically structured coating morphologies were composed of micro-scale protrusions along with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.118403
Abstract: Abstract To solve the problems of unsustainability and low biodegradability of mineral oil-based lubricants, an agro-waste to biolubricant supply chain was proposed. A plant wax was extracted from the non-medicinal part of Codonopsis pilosula, and… read more here.
