The current study provides a comprehensive rheology and survey on direct ink writing of xanthan gum/cellulose nanocrystal (XG/CNC) bio-inks for developing 3D geometries that mimic soft tissue engineering scaffolds' physical mechanical properties. presence CNC was found to be critical prerequisite the printability XG bio-inks; accordingly, hybrid XG/CNC revealed excellent viscoelastic properties enabled precise control hydrogel shaping printing lattice structures composed up eleven layers...
Plant-based hydrogels have attracted great attention in biomedical fields since they are biocompatible and based on natural, sustainable, cost-effective, widely accessible sources. Here, we introduced new viscoelastic bio-inks composed of quince seed mucilage cellulose nanofibrils (QSM/CNF) easily extruded into 3D lattice structures through direct ink writing ambient conditions. The QSM/CNF inks enabled precise control printing fidelity where CNF endowed objects with shape stability after...
Multifunctional textile coatings were developed using biobased nanoparticles from lignin and fatty acids, achieving significant water repellency, breathability, UV-shielding, antibacterial properties, while remaining eco-friendly durable.
CTAB-hydrophobized lignin nanoparticles for durable Pickering foam formation with cellulose nanofibrils as templates lightweight porous materials.
Advancing nanocomposites requires a deep understanding and careful design of nanoscale interfaces, as interfacial interactions adhesion significantly influence the physical mechanical properties these materials. This study demonstrates effectiveness lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) compatibilizer between hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) hydrophobic polyester, polycaprolactone (PCL). In this context, we conducted detailed analysis surface-to-bulk in both wet dry conditions using advanced...
Abstract Free‐standing nanocellulosic films (nanopapers) emerge as attractive sustainable materials to replace traditional plastics. However, the moisture sensitivity of cellulose and its poor dispersion in hydrophobic polymers are challenges widespread application. Harnessing inherent properties cellulose, lignin, polycaprolactone, a Pickering emulsion approach is proposed produce multifunctional nanofibril (CNF) nanocomposite films. Aqueous CNF combined with polycaprolactone (PCL) using...
Abstract The effect of lignin on several properties nanocellulose suspensions and films, such as degree mechanical fibrillation, optical transparency, gas barrier is still a matter study. In the present work, it was investigated influence residual efficiency cationization enzymatic pretreatments to produce lignin-containing nanocelluloses (LCNFs) from unbleached kraft pulps, and, (mechanical, barrier, antioxidant activity thermal stability) corresponding films. overall not negatively...
Cellulose–Polycaprolactone Nanocomposites with Lignin Nanoparticles In article number 2200988, Erfan Kimiaei, Monika Österberg, and co-workers demonstrate a smart assembly of hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) by the aid lignin nanoparticles as interfacial modulator. provide additional noncovalent interactions between components for even dispersion PCL on CNF.
