Seemingly nonporous biopolymer composites prepared by natural fiber welding (NFW)
possess latent pores that can be exfoliated by conscientious solvation. We present a …

Herein, we disclose the first utilization of mesoporous natural fiber welded (NFW) cellulose
to sequester titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) from aqueous colloids, resulting in …

Natural fibers are being employed in the development of the next generation of biomaterials,
due to their reduced environmental impact and the ease of their functionalization with …

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a well-known metal chelator and an attractive
ligand for covalently modifying adsorbents for bioremediation. Cellulose, a naturally …

Mesoporous cellulose can be generated by treating the biopolymer material with ionic liquid
and then rinsing it with a nonpolar solvent gradient. However, upon re-exposure to …

This work investigates two polymerizable boronium ionic liquids (BILs) that were identified
as candidates for solid or pseudo-solid electrolytes in energy storage applications. The …

This work investigates a set of novel polymerizable boronium ionic liquids (BILs) that were
synthesized and characterized as candidates for solid or pseudo-solid electrolytes in energy …

In order to reduce the cost and machining time of producing propeller blades, the Naval
