Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study presents a new method for the production of nanomaterials from office paper waste. For this purpose, two types of office paper wastes were selected to extract kaolin and then metakaolin was produced after calcination at five different temperatures in the range of 500 to 1000 °C. The synthesized materials were investigated by differential thermal analysis/thermo-gravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Planetary ball mill was used for mechanical treatment of nanomaterials, followed by analyzing using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The changes in the crystalline structure of the nanoparticles were also investigated. The synthesized nanominerals were also used in a nanobiocomposite, i.e., soy protein isolate (SPI) biofilm, to improve its barrier properties.
