Evaluating the potential of ozone in creating functional groups on cellulose
(Springer, 2022-08-01)
Article
Open AccessSeveral eucalyptus pulps (85% of cellulose) with different lignin and HexA content (unbleached, TCF and ECF) as well as cotton linters (97% of cellulose) were treated with ozone (at different pH and ozone doses) in order ... -
Composites of cellulose nanocrystals in combination with either cellulose nanofibril or carboxymethylcellulose as functional packaging films
(Elsevier, 2022-06-30)
Article
Open AccessCellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were mixed with either cellulose nanofibril (CNF) or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in variable proportions (0/100, 20/80, 40/60, 50/50, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0) to obtain cast films with acceptable ... -
Compulsive sexual behavior online and non-online in adult male patients and healthy controls: comparison in sociodemographic, clinical, and personality variables
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05-03)
Article
Open AccessBackground and Aims: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control sexual impulses, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior over a prolonged period that causes marked ... -
Ionic liquids-assisted bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass for the development of value-added products
(2021-10-11)
Article
Open AccessLignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable and inexpensive source that can be used to produce biofuels and bioproducts. One of the major limitations of biomass valorisation is its recalcitrance to an efficient ... -
Improving filmogenic and barrier properties of nanocellulose films by addition of biodegradable plasticizers
(2021-07-14)
Article
Open AccessCellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were mixed with various additives to obtain films with good barrier and mechanical properties as replacements for petroleum-based plastics. The influence of different doses of additives including ... -
Sustainability in e-commerce packaging: a review
(2021-01-20)
Article
Open AccessOnline purchasing, and hence e-commerce packaging production and use, have grown steadily in recent years, and so has their environmental impact as a result. This paper reviews the evolution of packaging over the last ... -
Development of an antimicrobial bioactive paper made from bacterial cellulose
(2020-09-01)
Article
Open AccessBacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as an attractive adsorptive material for antimicrobial agents due to its fine network structure, its large surface area, and its high porosity. In the present study, BC paper was first ... -
Bacterial cellulose-chitosan paper with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities
(2020-03-12)
Article
Open AccessThe production of paper-based bacterial cellulose-chitosan (BC-Ch) nanocomposites was accomplished following two different approaches. In the first, BC paper sheets were produced and then immersed in an aqueous solution ... -
Nanofibrillar networks enable universal assembly of superstructured particle constructs
(2020-05-08)
Article
Open AccessSuperstructured colloidal materials exploit the synergies between components to develop new or enhanced functions. Cohesion is a primary requirement for scaling up these assemblies into bulk materials, and it has only been ... -
Elucidating the chemical nature of laccase-modified alkyl gallates
(2020-06-12)
Article
Open AccessIn the first part of the present work, relevant findings concerning the laccase (Lacc) activation of alkyl gallates, and its implementation in developing hydrophobic properties on cellulose-based substrates are reported. ... -
Bacterial cellulose matrices to develop enzymatically active paper
(2020-01-31)
Article
Open AccessThis work studies the suitability of bacterial cellulose (BC) matrices to prepare enzymatically active nanocomposites, in a framework of more environmentally friendly methodologies. After BC production and purification, ... -
Lignin particles for multifunctional membranes, antioxidative microfiltration, patterning and 3D structuring
(2019-11-08)
Article
Open AccessWe introduce a new type of particle-based membrane based on the combination of lignin particles (LPs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), the latter of which are introduced in small volume fractions to act as networking and ...
