The ever-increasing demand for energy and environmental concerns have driven scientists
to look for renewable and eco-friendly alternatives. Bio-based thermoelectric (TE) composite …

The imperative shift from fossil-based, nonbiodegradable plastics to ecofriendly and
biodegradable alternatives stands as a cornerstone of sustainable societal progress …

To replace petroleum-derived polymers with cellulose fibres, it is desirable to have the
option of melt processing. However, upon heating, cellulose degradation typically starts …

Borohydride reduction of dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) is a promising strategy to generate
dialcohol cellulose as bio-based alternative to petroleum-based materials. However, the …

The derivatization of dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) has received increasing attention in the
development of sustainable thermoplastics. In this study, a series of dialcohol celluloses …

Dialcohol cellulose can be prepared by periodate-mediated oxidation of cellulose followed
by reduction with borohydride. The two-step reaction creates a modified cellulose polymer …

Thermoplastic properties in cellulosic materials can be achieved by opening the glucose
rings in cellulose and introducing new functional groups. Using molecular dynamics, we …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received increasing attention because of their superior
dispersion and thermal stability. In this study, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanocrystal …

Cellulose and its derivatives are considered sustainable alternatives to non-biodegradable
fossil-based plastics. Chemically modified cellulose fibres to dialcohol cellulose (DAC) fibres …

Polybutylene adipate-terephthalate (PBAT) is a fully biodegradable polyester, which has
been proven to be the most suitable alternative to traditional plastics. However, due to the …
