Recent developments in the area of plant‐based hydrogels are introduced, especially those
derived from wood as a widely available, multiscale, and hierarchical source of …

Emulsion stabilization by native cellulose has been mainly hampered because of its
insolubility in water. Chemical modification is normally needed to obtain water-soluble …

Desoxyribosenucleic acid, DNA, and cellulose molecules self-assemble in aqueous
systems. This aggregation is the basis of the important functions of these biological …

Biopolymers-based composites are, in general, environmentally friendly materials, which
can be obtained from renewable sources. Some of them can also present promising …

It remains a challenge to develop anti-oil fouling materials for crude oil spills or other oily
wastewater cleanups. Herein, we report delignified wood with a cellulose coating for its …

Alternative renewable energy must emerge to sustainably meet the energy demands of the
present and future. Current alternatives to fossil fuels are electricity from solar, wind and tidal …

More than 10 million tons of textile waste are disposed through landfill every year in North
America. The disposal of textile waste via landfill or incineration causes environmental …

All-cellulose xerogel composites were fabricated using a facile, scalable three-step process—
(1) partial ionic liquid dissolution,(2) non-solvent rinsing, and (3) drying. The xerogel …

In the history of cellulose chemistry, hydrogen bonding has been the predominant
explanation when discussing intermolecular interactions between cellulose polymers. This …

Cellulose, one of the most abundant renewable resources, is insoluble in most common
solvents but dissolves in aqueous alkali under a narrow range of conditions. To elucidate …
