Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals are an important class of bio‐based crystalline nanostructures, finding application in several technological fields, including paper and textile coating, biocomposite engineering, biocatalysts immobilization, etc. This study explores enzymatic hydrolysis Avicel, using endoglucanase from Aspergillus niger , to find environmentally friendly method extract cellulose sources. Enzymatic has the advantage reduced energy consumption higher environmental friendliness...
Abstract Nanostructured materials represent promising substrates for biocatalyst immobilization and activation. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), accessible from waste and/or renewable sources, are sustainable biodegradable, show high specific surface area anchoring a number of enzymatic units, thermal mechanical stability. In this work, we present holistic enzyme‐based approach to functional antibacterial by bioconjugation between the lysozyme chicken egg white cellulose nanocrystals. The...
A mixed ionic–electronic conductor (MIEC) comprising sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (S-CNCs) as nanotemplate is investigated in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with remarkable channel current and high transconductance values.
