This thesis deals with two parts of development of novel sensors based on cellulose
substrate platform. The first part is the development of fluorescence sensors and adsorbents …

Background: Biosensors are widely applied for the detection of bio-molecules in blood
glucose, cholesterol, and gene. Cellulose as the most dominating natural polymer has …

A simple and universal strategy was developed to prepare cellulose/dye composite film, as
colorimetric sensor for heavy metal ions (HMIs) detection. After regenerating cellulose …

A novel rhodamine B derivative (Rh-2) was synthesized. When used as a selective
colorimetric sensor for Cu 2+, a visible change from colorless to pink was observed. UV …

Cellulose is a group of materials that can be made into low-cost devices because they are
the most common biomaterials in nature. Cellulose-based polymers are flexible …

The urgent requirements for rapid identification and quantification of heavy metals
worldwide has spurred the development of methods that enable rapid and selective …

Cellulose waste was considered as a natural polymer with good biocompatibility,
biodegradability, non-toxicity, which has been extensively employed in sensor research. The …

Using the metal retrieved from e-waste recycling to make new products is an important
industrial consideration. To address this pressing issue, we must create a fast, simple …

Cellulose in its nanostructuric form gained great attention among many researchers owing to
the natural abundance, high aspect ratio, ease of surface functionalization, biocompatibility …

Increase in industrial activities has been arising a severe concern about water pollution
caused by heavy metal ions (HMIs), such us lead (Pb2+), cadmium (Cd2+) or mercury …
