Nanocelluloses are bio-based nanoparticles of interest as stabilizers for oil-in-water (o/w)
Pickering emulsions. In this work, the surface chemistry of nanocelluloses of different length …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) form chiral nematic phases in aqueous suspensions that can
be preserved upon evaporation of water. The resulting films show an intense directional …

Deep understanding of the structure–property relationships of polysaccharide derivatives
depends on the ability to control the position of the substituents around the monosaccharide …

Here, we present a detailed review of recent research and achievements in the field of
combining two extremely important polysaccharides; namely, cellulose and chitosan. The …

Nanocellulose, such as that produced by the bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinus (bacterial
cellulose, BC), is an emerging biomaterial with great potential as a biological implant …

Naturally occurring polymers have been utilized for a long time as materials, however, their
application as plastics has been restricted because of their limited thermoplastic …

A review of the important area of cellulose degradation under alkaline conditions is
presented; it focuses on its relevance to the possible disposal of radioactive wastes in an …

Complex hierarchical architectures are ubiquitous in nature. By designing and controlling
the interaction between elementary building blocks, nature is able to optimize a large variety …

Ionic liquids with physico-chemical special characteristics such as the low melting point,
adjustable acidity and good solubility have been used widely as the environment-friendly …

Hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose in aqueous media catalyzed by the cellulase enzyme
system suffers from slow reaction rates due in large part to the highly crystalline structure of …
