This review describes recent advances on the application of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)
in selected applications. CNCs are produced via acid hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, such …

Corn husk is generated as a by-product during the processing and collection of corn, the
second largest agricultural crop of the whole planet. The use of these by-products is …

Nano-sized cellulose materials has recently become topical in the sphere of sustainable
materials. The two key groups of nanocelluloses (NCs) are (1) nanofibrillated cellulose …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are crystalline nanoparticles that present myriad
applications. CNCs are produced from a variety of renewable sources, and they can be …

Bioengineered soft tissues on any meaningful scale or complexity must incorporate aspects
of the functional tissue, namely a vasculature, providing cells oxygen and nutrients critical for …

Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels compose a promising class of materials for
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. However, their limited …

To prevent membrane fouling caused by natural organic matter (NOM), cellulose
nanocrystals (CNCs) were blended with inherently hydrophobic polyethersulfones (PES) by …

Chitin is an abundant biopolymer whose natural production is second only to cellulose.
Similar to cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) or nanofibers (CNFs), chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) …

Colorimetric gas sensors that detect early release of gases from food spoilage are of great
importance in food safety and food conservation. Yet, such sensors are not broadly …

Enzymes are proteins specialized in catalyzing biological reactions. However, factors such
as cost and operational limitations could limit their applications in the industrial sector. An …
