Shaping cellulose into functional materials entered a new era with the introduction of ionic
liquids as novel, green solvents about 20 years ago. As non-volatile solvents with high …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively explored and implemented in different areas,
ranging from sensors and actuators to the biomedical field. The increasing attention devoted …

Plants inherently display a rich diversity in cell wall chemistry, as they synthesize an array of
polysaccharides along with lignin, a polyphenolic that can vary dramatically in subunit …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biopolymer of β-(1, 4)-linked β-D-glucopyranose that
forms a homogeneous network of cellulose fibres with high chemical purity and modifiability …

In this study, a novel type of high-strength regenerated cellulose composite fiber reinforced
with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and nanosilica (nano-SiO2) was prepared. Adding 1 …

An enhancement of environmental concern lately has improved the awareness of
researchers in employing eco-friendly solvents for processing biopolymers. Recently, ionic …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biopolymer metabolized by Gram-negative bacteria
strains in carbon-and nitrogen-rich media. Due to its natural purity, biodegradability …

Binding assays of commercially available hemicelluloses and pectins, and microfibrillar
cellulose isolated form apple parenchyma were prepared. Initial studies showed that among …

Developing the most abundant cellulose resources in nature as wood adhesives is a
challenging but significant work. In this study, an oxidized cellulose-hexamethylene diamine …

The plant cell wall (PCW) inspires the preparation of fiber-based biomaterials, particularly
emphasizing exploiting the intrinsic interactions within the load-bearing cellulose and …
