Asphaltene supermolecules extracted from coal consist of highly condensed polyaromatic units and peripheral aliphatic chains, which is a natural source with high carbon content. In this study, we demonstrate that the asphaltene can be used as an ideal supermolecular carbon precursor for the fabrication of carbon nanos…

Abstract BACKGROUND The fish swim bladder is considered as a potential source of realistic collagen. Currently, processing of the Indian major carp rohu (Labeo rohita) generates an enormous quantity of non‐edible by‐products, including swim bladders, which are discarded as waste with no commercial value. In the presen…
