This paper presents research on the effect of enzymatic cross‐linking milk proteins properties yoghurt. Whole was incubated with transglutaminase (TG) prior to fermentation (2 h, 40°C, E/S ratio 1/2000). Enzyme action stopped by heating (1 min, 80°C). Skim‐milk treated simultaneous use TG and thermophilic yoghurt starter culture without inactivation enzyme. A treatment led prolonged fermentation, while concomitant had no influence time. Post acidification during storage lower for products...
Copper is a major problem in industrial wastewater streams, seriously affecting the quality of potential drinking water. Several approaches, including continuous membrane processes or batch-wise application adsorbents, are use to tackle this problem. Unfortunately, these suffer from their particular drawbacks, such as low permeance disposal saturated adsorbents. However, combination could constitute step towards more efficient copper removal solution. Here, we present nanopaper ion-exchanger...
Would it not be nice to have an organic solvent nanofiltration membrane made from renewable resources that can manufactured as simply producing paper? Here the production of membranes nanocellulose by applying a papermaking process is demonstrated. Manufacture nanopapers was enabled inducing flocculation nanofibrils upon addition trivalent ions.

This article presents a waterborne nanocellulose coating process to change the surface characteristics and mitigate fouling of commercially available polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltration membranes. An extensive comparative study between nanoporous nano-textured layers composed cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) or TEMPO-oxidized nanofibrils (T-CNF), which were coated on PES membrane by taking advantage electrostatic interactions substrate, polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAHCl) anchoring layer,...
Mycelium, the vegetative growth of filamentous fungi, has attracted increasing commercial and academic interest in recent years because its ability to upcycle agricultural industrial wastes into low-cost, sustainable composite materials. However, mycelium composites typically exhibit foam-like mechanical properties, primarily originating from their weak organic filler constituents. Fungal can be alternatively utilized as a low-cost method for on-demand generation natural nanofibrils, such...
The need for multifunctional, robust, reusable, and high-flux filters is a constant challenge sustainable water treatment. In this work, fully biobased biodegradable purification were developed processed by the means of three-dimensional (3D) printing, more specifically fused deposition modelling (FDM). polylactic acid (PLA) – based composites reinforced with homogenously dispersed TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) or chitin (ChNF) prepared within four-step process; i. melt...
Liquid-like surfaces featuring slippery, omniphobic, covalently attached liquids (SOCALs) reduce unwanted adhesion by providing a molecularly smooth and slippery surface arising from the high mobility of liquid chains. Such SOCALs are commonly prepared on hard substrates, such as glass, wafers, or metal oxides, despite importance nonpolar elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in anti-fouling nonstick applications. Compared to polar elastomers, hydrophobic PDMS elastomer activation covalent...
Solution blow spinning (SBS) has emerged as a rapid and scalable technique for the production of polymeric ceramic materials into micro-/nanofibers. Here, SBS was employed to produce submicrometer fibers regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) from Bombyx mori (silkworm) cocoons based on formic acid or aqueous systems. Spinning in presence vapor permitted solutions, high alignment could be obtained by modifying setup give concentrated channeled airflow. The combination thermally induced phase...
This article proposes a strategy to prepare membranes that combine the network characteristics of micro/nanocellulose with grafted zwitterionic PCysMA develop fully bio-based antifouling properties.
Membranes and filters are essential devices, both in the laboratory for separation of media, solvent recovery, organic water filtration purposes, industrial scale applications, such as removal pollutants, e.g. heavy metal ions, from water. Due to their stability, biologically sourced renewable membrane or filter materials, cellulose chitin, provide a low-cost, sustainable alternative synthetic materials treatment. Here, we investigated potential fungal chitin nanopapers derived A. bisporus...
Crosslinked cellulose nanofiber-polyvinyl alcohol antifouling membrane.
Non-noble mixed metal oxides are promising electrocatalysts for water splitting reactions in alkaline media. The synthesis of complex with the desired composition is challenging due to formation phase impurities when performed via classical approaches. In this work, we applied nanocasting technique combined low-temperature calcination (200 °C) a quasi-sealed container obtain highly ordered mesoporous (Mn/Fe/Ni/Co) oxides. This procedure provides distinctive physicochemical characteristics...
Abstract Monomers for radical photopolymerization based on vinyl esters (VEs) have recently been identified as suitable alternatives to (meth)acrylates account of their low irritancy and cytotoxicity. The drawback most VEs with abstractable hydrogens is relatively reactivity compared (meth)acrylates. Within this article, we proved by photo‐differential scanning calorimetry measurements real‐time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy that the thiol‐ene concept able improve photoreactivity...
The development of a nanopaper ion-exchanger for the efficient removal nitrates from water in continuous mode is presented.
Basic adsorption of hydrophobic polymers from aprotic solvents was introduced as a platform technology to modify exclusively the surfaces cellulose nanopapers. Dynamic vapor sorption demonstrated that water uptake ability nanopapers remained unperturbed, despite strong repellency liquid caused by adsorbed polymer on surface. This enabled fact used for did not swell nanopaper unlike is generally applied medium in such systems. As case examples, adsorptions polystyrene (PS) and...
