Abstract
With the increasing demand for wearable electronics (such as smartwatch equipment, wearable health monitoring systems, and human-robot interface units), flexible energy storage systems with eco-friendly, low-cost, multifunctional characteristics, and high electrochemical performances are imperative to be constructed. Nanocellulose with sustainable natural abundance, superb properties, and unique structures has emerged as a promising nanomaterial, which shows significant potential for fabricating functional energy storage systems. This review is intended to provide novel perspectives on the combination of nanocellulose with other electrochemical materials to design and fabricate nanocellulose-based flexible composites for advanced energy storage devices. First, the unique structural characteristics and properties of nanocellulose are briefly introduced. Second, the structure-property-application relationships of these composites are addressed to optimize their performances from the perspective of processing technologies and micro/nano-interface structure. Next, the recent specific applications of nanocellulose-based composites, ranging from flexible lithium-ion batteries and electrochemical supercapacitors to emerging electrochemical energy storage devices, such as lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and zinc-ion batteries, are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the current challenges and future developments in nanocellulose-based composites for the next generation of flexible energy storage systems are proposed.

Abstract
Today, chronic wound care and management can be regarded as a clinically critical issue. However, the limitations of current approaches for wound healing have encouraged researchers and physicians to develop more efficient alternative approaches. Advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have resulted in the development of promising approaches that can accelerate wound healing and improve the skin regeneration rate and quality. The design and fabrication of scaffolds that can address the multifactorial nature of chronic wound occurrence and provide support for the healing process can be considered an important area requiring improvement. In this regard, polysaccharide-based scaffolds have distinctive properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, high water retention capacity and nontoxicity, making them ideal for wound healing applications. Their tunable structure and networked morphology could facilitate a number of functions, such as controlling their diffusion, maintaining wound moisture, absorbing a large amount of exudates and facilitating gas exchange. In this review, the wound healing process and the influential factors, structure and properties of carbohydrate polymers, physical and chemical crosslinking of polysaccharides, scaffold fabrication techniques, and the use of polysaccharide-based scaffolds in skin tissue engineering and wound healing applications are discussed.

Abstract
In this work, a kind of MOF MIL-100(Fe)@CNFs hydrogel (MC) based on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) for fertilizers slow-release was prepared by free-radical polymerization, where N-vinyl caprolactam (NVCL) and CNFs were involved to exhibit temperature and pH response, respectively. Particularly, porous MIL-100(Fe), a kind of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), was introduced to optimize the load and slow-release capabilities. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize. The swelling behaviors and water-retention capabilities of hydrogels were evaluated. Using urea as the model fertilizer, the slow-release mechanism was revealed. Wheat was used as the model crop to evaluate the practical growth status. Compared with MC-0% hydrogels, the MC-10% hydrogels exhibited a better swelling capacity (37 g/g), water-retention (22.78%) and slow-release performance (40.84%). It also exhibited sensitivities to temperature and pH for regulating urea release. Besides, the number of tillers and leaves of wheat fertilized with MC hydrogels significantly increased, as did the photosynthetic rate. In conclusion, the MC-0% hydrogels had a positive influence on crops growth, and promoted the possible utilization of hydrogels in slow-release fertilizers.

A lignocellulose-based nanocomposite hydrogel with pH-sensitive and potent antibacterial activity for wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 191:1249-1254.

Abstract
Hydrogel dressings with similar structural characteristics to the extracellular matrix and tunable physicochemical properties have become promising candidates for wound healing. However, the fabrication of an ideal hydrogel dressing with low-cost, good biocompatibility, excellent hemostatic capacity, potent and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity remains a huge challenge. Herein, a lignocellulose-based nanocomposite hydrogel (ATC/SA/PVA) is fabricated by simply mixing Ag nanoparticles loaded, tannic acid-decorated lignocellulose nanofibrils with sodium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol. Based on the dynamic borate ester bonds and multiple weak hydrogen bonds, the fabricated hydrogel exhibits excellent flexibility and self-healing performance. Its highly porous structure endows the gel excellent blood and tissue exudates absorption ability. Interestingly, the release behavior of Ag nanoparticles from hydrogel displays pH dependence, which can facilitate the accumulation of Ag nanoparticles at the wound site, thereby accelerating the process of wound healing. In vitro antibacterial assay demonstrates the potent antibacterial ability of hydrogel against both Gram-positive (S. aureus) and negative bacteria (E. coli). More importantly, in vivo investigations reveal that such hydrogel can effectively accelerate tissue regeneration and wound healing with no obvious adverse effects. All these results suggest that this nanocomposite hydrogel would be a promising candidate to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
The kinetics studies is of great importance for the understanding of the mechanism of hemicellulose pyrolysis and expanding the applications of hemicellulose. In the past years, rapid progress has been paid on the kinetics studies of hemicellulose hydrolysis. In this article, we first introduced the hydrolysis of hemicelluloses via various strategies such as autohydrolysis, dilute acid hydrolysis, catalytic hydrolysis, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Then, the history of kinetic models during hemicellulose hydrolysis was summarized. Special attention was paid to the oligosaccharides as intermediates or substrates, acid as catalyst, and thermogravimetric as analyzer method during the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Furthermore, the problems and suggestions of kinetic models during hemicellulose hydrolysis was provided. It expected that this article will favor the understanding of the mechanism of hemicellulose pyrolysis.

Abstract
The selection of sacrificial support materials is important in the fabrication of complex freeform structures. In this study, a dual droplet-based, freeform 3D printing method for pseudoplastic alginate biomaterial inks was developed using Bingham plastic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as support nanomaterials. CNCs-CaCl2 mixture compositions and alginate concentrations were varied to enhance printability with rheological properties of shape fidelity and structural stability. The mixtures supported the shape of alginate and allowed CaCl2 diffusion-based cross-linking during 3D printing. The hydrogels showed rheological and physicochemical properties similar to those of pure alginate hydrogel, as CNCs were removed during post-printing processing. BSA-loaded multi-layered spheres, freeform 3D-printed for oral protein drug delivery, protected BSA in the gastric environment and provided controlled and sustained release of BSA into the intestinal environment as layer width and alginate concentration increased. This method can facilitate freeform 3D printing of diverse pseudoplastic biomaterial inks for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The growing environmental concerns due to the excessive use of non-renewable petroleum based products have raised interest for the sustainable synthesis of bio-based value added products and chemicals. Recently, nanocellulose has attracted wide attention because of its unique properties such as high surface area, tunable surface chemistry, excellent mechanical strength, biodegradability and renewable nature. It serves wide range of applications in paper making, biosensor, hydrogel and aerogel synthesis, water purification, biomedical industry and food industry. Variations in selection of source, processing technique and subsequent chemical modifications influence the size, morphology, and other characteristics of nanocellulose and ultimately their area of application. The current review is focused on extraction/synthesis of nanocellulose from different sources such as bacteria and lignocellulosic biomass, by using various production techniques ranging from traditional harsh chemicals to green methods. Further, the challenges in nanocellulose production, physio-chemical properties and applications are discussed with future opportunities. Finally, the sustainability of nanocellulose product as well as processes is reviewed by taking a systems view. The impact of chemicals, energy use, and waste generated can often negate the benefit of a bio-based product. These issues are evaluated and future research needs are identified.

Abstract
Polymer nanofibers have exceptionally high surface area. This is advantageous compared to bulk polymeric structures, as nanofibrils increase the area over which materials can be transported into and out of a system, via diffusion and active transport. On the other hand, since hydrogels possess a degree of flexibility very similar to natural tissue, due to their significant water content, hydrogels made from natural or biodegradable macromolecular systems can even be injectable into the human body. Due to unique interactions with water, hydrogel transport properties can be easily modified and tailored. As a result, combining nanofibers with hydrogels would truly advance biomedical applications of hydrogels, particularly in the area of sustained drug delivery. In fact, certain nanofiber networks can be transformed into hydrogels directly without the need for a hydrogel enclosure. This review discusses recent advances in the fabrication and application of biomedical nanofiber hydrogels with a strong emphasis on drug release. Most of the drug release studies and recent advances have so far focused on self-gelling nanofiber systems made from peptides or other natural proteins loaded with cancer drugs. Secondly, polysaccharide nanofiber hydrogels are being investigated, and thirdly, electrospun biodegradable polymer networks embedded in polysaccharide-based hydrogels are becoming increasingly popular. This review shows that a major outcome from these works is that nanofiber hydrogels can maintain drug release rates exceeding a few days, even extending into months, which is an extremely difficult task to achieve without the nanofiber texture. This review also demonstrates that some publications still lack careful rheological studies on nanofiber hydrogels; however, rheological properties of hydrogels can influence cell function, mechano-transduction, and cellular interactions such as growth, migration, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and morphology. Nanofiber hydrogel rheology becomes even more critical for 3D or 4D printable systems that should maintain sustained drug delivery rates.

Abstract
This paper reviews the preparation of magnetic biochar and its application in wastewater treatment, and briefly discusses the adsorption mechanism of biochar to remove pollutants and the modification methods of biochar. Due to the good physical and chemical properties of biochar, including its rough porous structure, it has been widely used to absorb pollutants from water. Magnetic biochar is commonly prepared by combining biochar with magnetic material. The biochar is endowed with the characteristics of the magnetic material, which could effectively solve the problems of difficult recovery and easy loss of adsorbent in water treatment. Magnetic biochar with high carbon content, large specific surface area, magnetic separation, and other excellent properties, has become a hot research topic in recent years. The preparation methods and application properties of magnetic biochar are reviewed. The future research directions of magnetic biochar are put forward to provide directions for further research and application of magnetic biochar materials.

Abstract
The biomedical field still requires composite materials for medical devices and tissue engineering model design. As part of the pursuit of non-animal and non-proteic scaffolds, we propose here a cellulose-based material. In this study, 9%, 18% and 36% dialdehyde-functionalized microcrystalline celluloses (DAC) were synthesized by sodium periodate oxidation. The latter was subsequently coupled to PVA at ratios 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1 by dissolving in N-methyl pyrrolidone and lithium chloride. Moulding and successive rehydration in ethanol and water baths formed soft hydrogels. While oxidation effectiveness was confirmed by dialdehyde content determination for all DAC, we observed increasing hydrolysis associated with particle fragmentation. Imaging, FTIR and XDR analysis highlighted an intertwined DAC/PVA network mainly supported by electrostatic interactions, hemiacetal and acetal linkage. To meet tissue engineering requirements, an interconnected porosity was optimized using 0-50 µm salts. While the role of DAC in strengthening the hydrogel was identified, the oxidation ratio of DAC showed no distinct trend. DAC 9% material exhibited the highest indirect and direct cytocompatibility creating spheroid-like structures. DAC/PVA hydrogels showed physical stability and acceptability in vivo that led us to propose our DAC 9%/PVA based material for soft tissue graft application.

[PMID: 34364616 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
This work demonstrated a facile and sustainable approach to functionalize cellulose nanopaper (CNP) by impregnation of chitosan (CS) and the followed halogenation. It was found that the tensile strength of the functionalized CNP (CNP/CS-Cl) was enhanced by 38.3% and 512.6% at dry and wet conditions, respectively. Meanwhile, the total transmittance (at 550 nm) of CNP/CS-Cl was increased from 75% of pure CNP to 85%, with 35% decrease in optical haze. Moreover, the CNP/CS-Cl exhibited significant enhancement in barrier properties. Importantly, part of the amino groups on CS were transformed into N-halamines during the halogenation process, which endowed the CNP/CS-Cl with excellent antibacterial performance against both S. aureus and E. coli with 100% bacterial reduction after 10 min of contact. Thus, this work provides a simple and efficient approach to functionalize CNP with water resistance, high transparency, excellent antibacterial and barrier properties, which will expand the potential applications of CNP.

Abstract
Cellulose is one of the important biomass materials in nature and has shown wide applications in various fields from materials science, biomedicine, tissue engineering, wearable devices, energy, and environmental science, as well as many others. Due to their one-dimensional nanostructure, high specific surface area, excellent biodegradability, low cost, and high sustainability, cellulose nanofibrils/nanofibers (CNFs) have been widely used for environmental science applications in the last years. In this review, we summarize the advance in the design, synthesis, and water purification applications of CNF-based functional nanomaterials. To achieve this aim, we firstly introduce the synthesis and functionalization of CNFs, which are further extended for the formation of CNF hybrid materials by combining with other functional nanoscale building blocks, such as polymers, biomolecules, nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) materials. Then, the fabrication methods of CNF-based 2D membranes/films, three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels, and 3D aerogels are presented. Regarding the environmental science applications, CNF-based nanomaterials for the removal of metal ions, anions, organic dyes, oils, and bio-contents are demonstrated and discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising research field are discussed. It is expected that this topical review will guide and inspire the design and fabrication of CNF-based novel nanomaterials with high sustainability for practical applications.

Abstract
Wound dressings are devices used to stop bleeding and provide appropriate environmental conditions to accelerate wound healing. The effectiveness of wound dressing materials can be crucial to prevent deaths from excessive bleeding in surgeries and promote complete restoration of the injury. Some requirements for an ideal wound dressing are rapid hemostatic effect, high swelling capacity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical strength. However, finding all these properties in a single material remains a challenge. In this context, nanocomposites have demonstrated an excellent capacity for this application because of their multifunctionality. One of the emerging materials used in nanocomposite manufacture is cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which are rod-like crystalline nanometric structures present on cellulose chains. These nanoparticles are attractive for wound healing applications because of their high aspect ratio, high mechanical properties, functionality and low density. Hence, this work aimed to present an overview of nanocomposites constituted by CNCs for wound healing applications. The review focuses on the most common materials used as matrices, the types of dressing, and their fabrication techniques. Novel wound dressings composites have improved hemostatic, swelling, and mechanical properties compared to other pure biopolymers while preserving their other biological properties. Films, nanofibers mats, sponges, and hydrogels have been prepared with CNCs nanocomposites, and in vitro and in vivo tests have proved their suitability for wound healing.

Abstract
The bark of larix, a major tree species in the coniferous forests of China's Greater Khingan Mountains, is typically treated as waste. The bark is, however, rich in flavonoids, known as proanthocyanidins, although their high degree of polymerization and high molecular weight reduce their biological activity and potential applications. Ionic liquids, a new type of “green solvent”, characterized by low vapor pressure and good stability, have been developed and used as new solvents for naturally occurring macromolecules. Here, we used 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ([BMIM]Cl) as the ionic solvent to reduce the degree of polymerization of larix bark proanthocyanidins by Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The optimal reaction conditions, determined using an orthogonal experimental design, were: reaction temperature, 90 °C; reaction time, 1.5 h; catalyst loading, 4 g L−1 (Pd/C: [BMIM]Cl); and hydrogen pressure, 2.5 MPa. Characterization of the reaction products by UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatographys showed that they retained the proanthocyanidin structure. We showed that whilst both the native and depolymerized proanthocyanidins were able to block UV light when added to commercially available skin creams and sunscreens, the depolymerized proanthocyanidins were more effective at a given concentration. This study expands the applications of a new “green” ionic liquid solvent, provides a technical foundation for the low-cost depolymerization of larix bark proanthocyanidins, and also explores a potential high-value use for waste larix bark as the source of a UV-blocking additive for cosmetics. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins with excellent UV resistance were prepared by hydrogenolysis in ionic liquids.![]()

Abstract
In this study, ginger residue from juice production was evaluated as a raw material resource for preparation of nanofiber hydrogels with multifunctional properties for advanced wound dressing applications. Alkali treatment was applied to adjust the chemical composition of ginger fibers followed by TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical)-mediated oxidation prior to nanofiber isolation. The effect of alkali treatment on hydrogel properties assembled through vacuum filtration without addition of any chemical cross-linker was evaluated. An outstanding absorption ability of 6200% combined with excellent mechanical properties, tensile strength of 2.1 ± 0.2 MPa, elastic modulus of 15.3 ± 0.3 MPa, and elongation at break of 25.1%, was achieved without alkali treatment. Furthermore, the absorption capacity was tunable by applying alkali treatment at different concentrations and by adjusting the hydrogel grammage. Cytocompatibility evaluation of the hydrogels showed no significant effect on human fibroblast proliferation in vitro. Ginger essential oil was used to functionalize the hydrogels by providing antimicrobial activity, furthering their potential as a multifunctional wound dressing.

Abstract
Antibiotic abuse resulted in the emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, which pose a severe threat to public health. It is urgent to develop antibiotic substitutes to kill multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens effectively. Herein, the antibacterial dialdehyde nanocrystalline cellulose (DNC) was prepared and characterized. The antibacterial activity and biosafety of DNC were studied. With the increasing content of aldehyde groups, DNC exhibited high antibacterial activity against Gram-positive pathogens in vitro. DNC3 significantly reduced the amounts of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on the skin of infected mice models, which showed low cytotoxicity, excellent skin compatibility, and no acute oral toxicity. DNC exhibited potentials as antibiotic substitutes to fight against multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as ingredients in salves to treat skin infection and other on-skin applications.

N-acylhydrazone Derivative-Loaded Cellulose Acetate Films: Thermoanalytical, Spectroscopic, Mechanical and Morphological Characterization. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13142345. [PMID: 34301102 PMCID: PMC8309645 DOI: 10.3390/polym13142345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Cellulose acetate (ACT) is one of the most important cellulose derivatives due to its biodegradability and low toxicity, presenting itself as one of the main substitutes for synthetic materials in the development of wound dressing films. The incorporation of a N-acylhydrazonic derivative (JR19), with its promising anti-inflammatory activity, may represent an alternative for the treatment of skin wounds. This work aims to develop and to physicochemically and mechanically characterize ACT films containing JR19. The films were prepared using the ‘casting’ method and further characterized by thermoanalytical and spectroscopic techniques. In addition, mechanical tests and morphological analysis were performed. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses showed that the thermal events attributed to excipients and films were similar, indicating the absence of physical incompatibilities between ACT and JR19. Infrared spectroscopy showed that JR19 was incorporated into ACT films. The characteristic band attributed to C≡N (2279 to 2264 cm−1) was observed in the spectra of JR19, in that of the physical mixture of JR19/ACT, and, to a lesser extent, in the spectra of JR19 incorporated into the ACT film, suggesting some interaction between JR19 and ACT. X-ray diffraction (XRD) evidenced the suppression of the crystallinity of JR19 (diffraction peaks at 8.54°, 12.80°, 14.09°, 16.08°, 18.19°, 22.65°, 23.59°, 24.53°, 25.70°, 28.16° and 30.27°2θ) after incorporation into ACT films. The mechanical tests indicated the adequate integrity of the films and their resistance to bending. The morphological characterization showed JR19 crystals along with a homogeneously distributed porous structure throughout the surface of the films with an average diameter of 21.34 µm and 22.65 µm of the films alone and of those incorporating JR19F, respectively. This study was able to characterize the ACT films incorporating JR19, showing their potential to be further developed as wound healing dressings.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 290:112527. [PMID: 33895448 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Produced water is responsible for the largest contribution in terms of waste stream volume associated with the production of oil and gas. Characterization of produced water is very crucial for the determination of its main components and constituents for optimal selection of the treatment method. This review aims to review and critically discuss various treatment options that can be considered cost-efficient and environmentally friendly for the removal of different pollutants from produced water. Great efforts and progresses were made in various treatment options, including batch adsorption processes, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation, biological systems, adsorption, coagulation, and combined processes. Chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, and adsorption have high removal efficiencies that can reach more than 90% for different produced water components. The most effective method among these methods is adsorption using different adsorbents media. In this review, date-pits activated carbons, microemulsions-modified date pits, and cellulose nanocrystals as low-cost adsorbents were thoroughly reviewed and discussed. Moreover, the potential of using biological treatments in the removal of various pollutants from produced water such as conventional activated sludge, sequential batch reactor, and fixed-film biological aerated filter reactors were systematically discussed. Generally, produced water can be utilized in various fields including habitat and wildlife, agricultural and irrigation sector, energy sector, fire control, industrial use also power regeneration. The degree of treatment will depend on the application that produced water is being reused in. For instance, to use produced water in oil and gas industries, water will require minimal treatment while for agricultural and drinking purposes high treatment level will be required. It can also be concluded that one specific technique cannot be recommended that will meet all requirements including environmental, reuse, and recycling for sustainable energy. This is because of various dominant factors including the type of field, platform type, chemical composition, geological location, and chemical composition of the production chemicals.

Abstract
Cellulose nanopaper (CNP) has been considered as a promising material with great application potential in diverse fields. However, the hydrophilic nature of CNP significantly limits its practical application. In order to improve its water resistance, we demonstrate a facile approach to functionalize CNP by impregnating it with chitosan (CS), followed by in situ polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy). The results indicate that the obtained CNP/CS/PPy shows excellent water resistance with the wet tensile strength of up to 80 MPa, which is more than 10 times higher than that of the pure CNP. Intriguingly, new features (e.g., electrical conductivity, antibacterial activity, and so forth) are achieved at the same time. The functionalized CNP/CS/PPy shows a high conductivity of 6.5 S cm-1, which can be used for electromagnetic interference shielding applications with a high shielding performance of around 18 dB. In addition, the CNP/CS/PPy exhibits good antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with the bacterial reductions of 99.28 and 95.59%, respectively. Thus, this work provides a simple and versatile approach to functionalize CNP for achieving multifunctional properties.

Abstract
Simultaneously achieving good mechanical properties and high tolerance to hot and cold environments in hydrogel materials remains a challenge. In this work, ethylene glycol (EG) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were introduced into chitosan/poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid) double-network hydrogels to improve their toughness and tolerance to hot and cold environments. The effect of EG and CNFs on the properties of the hydrogels was studied respectively. EG increases the tolerance of the hydrogel to hot and cold environments. However, EG had a negative effect on the mechanical properties of hydrogels. In addition, CNFs substantially enhanced the strength and toughness of the chitosan/poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid)/EG organohydrogels. Finally, with the cooperative action of EG and CNFs, high-strength and tough organohydrogels (tensile strength = 0.71 MPa, elongation at break = 787.2%) with a high tolerance to hot and cold environments (-23 °C to 60 °C) were obtained. Further, EG enabled the organohydrogel to revert to its original state after drying at 60 °C. This paper provides a new route to prepare high-strength and tough organohydrogels with a high tolerance to hot and cold environments.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is rapidly evolving, offering great potential for manufacturing functional tissue analogs for use in diverse biomedical applications, including regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and disease modeling. Biomaterials used as bioinks in printing processes must meet strict physiochemical and biomechanical requirements to ensure adequate printing fidelity, while closely mimicking the characteristics of the native tissue. To achieve this goal, nanomaterials are increasingly being investigated as a robust tool to functionalize bioink materials. In this review, we discuss the growing role of different nano-biomaterials in engineering functional bioinks for a variety of tissue engineering applications. The development and commercialization of these nanomaterial solutions for 3D bioprinting would be a significant step towards clinical translation of biofabrication.

Abstract
Glycans play important roles in all major kingdoms of organisms, such as archea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Cellulose, the most abundant polysaccharide on the Earth, plays a predominant role for mechanical stability in plants, and finds a plethora of applications by humans. Beyond traditional use, biomedical application of cellulose becomes feasible with advances of soluble cellulose derivatives with diverse functional moieties along the backbone and modified nanocellulose with versatile functional groups on the surface due to the native features of cellulose as both cellulose chains and supramolecular ordered domains as extractable nanocellulose. With the focus on ionic cellulose-based compounds involving both these groups primarily for biomedical applications, a brief introduction about glycoscience and especially native biologically active glycosaminoglycans with specific biomedical application areas on humans is given, which inspires further development of bioactive compounds from glycans. Then, both polymeric cellulose derivatives and nanocellulose-based compounds synthesized as versatile biomaterials for a large variety of biomedical applications, such as for wound dressings, controlled release, encapsulation of cells and enzymes, and tissue engineering, are separately described, regarding the diverse routes of synthesis and the established and suggested applications for these highly interesting materials.

Abstract
Nanocellulose is of great interest in material science nowadays mainly because of its hydrophilic, renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible nature, as well as its excellent mechanical strength and tailorable surface ready for modification. Currently, nanocellulose is attracting attention to overcome the current challenges of dynamic hydrogels: robustness, autonomous self-healing, and self-recovery (SELF) properties simultaneously occurring in one system. In this regard, this review aims to explore current advances in design and fabrication of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels and elucidate how incorporating nanocellulose with dynamic motifs simultaneously improves both SELF and robustness of hydrogels. Finally, current challenges and prospects of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
20-Hydroxyl-3-oxolupan-28-oic acid (HOA), a minor component from Mahonia bealei (Fort.) Carr. leaves, has been found to attenuate inflammatory responses. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive transcriptional study to investigate genetic changes. We used RNA sequencing technology to analyses the transcriptional changes in RAW 264.7 cells in a control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced group, and HOA-treated group. We identified 1,313 and 388 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the control/LPS group and LPS/HOA group, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) classification revealed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in a series of inflammatory and immune-related processes. The results of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in inflammatory-related pathways such as the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway. The results of qPCR validation revealed that dynamic changes in immune-related mRNAs such as Saa3, Bcl2l1, Mapkapk2, Ccl9, Sdc4, Ddx3x, Socs3, Prdx5, Tlr4, Lif, IL15, Tnfaip3, Tet2, Tgf-β1, and Ccl20, which were significantly upregulated in the LPS group and downregulated in the HOA group. Taken together, these results suggest that HOA may be used as a source of anti-inflammatory agents as well as a dietary complement for health promotion.

Abstract
Nowadays, drug encapsulation and drug release from cellulose nanofibrils systems are intense research topics, and commercial grades of cellulose nanomaterials are currently available. In this work we present an ester-containing prodrug of metronidazole that is covalently bound to cellulose nanofibrils in aqueous suspension through a two-step immobilization procedure involving green chemistry principles. The presence of the drug is confirmed by several characterization tools and methods such as Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, Dynamic Nuclear Polarization enhanced NMR. This technique allows enhancing the sensitivity of NMR by several orders of magnitude. It has been used to study cellulose nanofibrils substrates and it appears as the ultimate tool to confirm the covalent nature of the binding through thiol-yne click chemistry. Moreover, the ester function of the immobilized prodrug can be cleaved by specific enzyme activity thus allowing controlled drug release.

Abstract
Janus nanomaterials possess remarkable prospects in the design of a series of smart materials with unique asymmetric properties. In this work, surface functionalized Janus cellulose nanocrystalline-type (CNCs-type) nanomaterials were manufactured by Pickering emulsion template and the construction of self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels has been realized. During emulsification, the mussel-inspired chemistry was employed to develop Janus nanocomposites. The extension of molecular chain of poly-lysine (PLL) and the polydopamine (PDA) coating were grafted on different sides of CNCs. Afterwards, the prepared nanocomposites were added to poly (acrylic acid) (PAA)-based hydrogels which formed by in-situ polymerization. The collaborative effect of metal-ligand coordination between the molecular chain of PLL, PDA coating, PAA chains and metal ions endowed the nanocomposite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties (8.8 MPa) and self-healing efficiency (88.9%). Therefore, the synthesized Janus CNCs-PDA/PLL nanocomposites are expected to have diverse application in the development of smart materials with self-healing ability.

Abstract
The development of new antimicrobial strategies that act more efficiently than traditional antibiotics is becoming a necessity to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. Here we report the efficacy of laser-light-irradiated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(m-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (mTHPP) loaded onto an ethylcellulose (EC)/chitosan (Chs) nanocomposite in eradicating multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Surface loading of the ethylcelllose/chitosan composite with mTHPP was carried out and the resulting nanocomposite was fully characterized. The results indicate that the prepared nanocomposite incorporates mTHPP inside, and that the composite acquired an overall positive charge. The incorporation of mTHPP into the nanocomposite enhanced the photo- and thermal stability. Different laser wavelengths (458; 476; 488; 515; 635 nm), powers (5-70 mW), and exposure times (15-45 min) were investigated in the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) experiments, with the best inhibition observed using 635 nm with the mTHPP EC/Chs nanocomposite for C. albicans (59 ± 0.21%), P. aeruginosa (71.7 ± 1.72%), and S. aureus (74.2 ± 1.26%) with illumination of only 15 min. Utilization of higher doses (70 mW) for longer periods achieved more eradication of microbial growth.

Abstract
The combination of fiber and hydrogel in a system can provide substantial benefits for both components, including the development of three-dimensional structures for the fiber, followed by modifications in the rheological and mechanical properties of the hydrogel. Despite a large increase in the use of fiber-hydrogel composites (FHCs) in various sciences and industries such as biomedicine, tissue engineering, cosmetics, automotive, textile, and agriculture, there is limited information about FHCs in the realm of food application. In this regard, this study reviews the mechanism of FHCs. The force transmission between fiber and hydrogel, which depends on the interactions between them during loading, is the main reason to enhance the mechanical properties of FHCs. Moreover, articles about such FHCs that have the potential for foods or food industries have been described. Additionally, the information gaps about edible FHCs were highlighted for further research. Finally, the methods of fiber formation have been summarized.

Abstract
Alnus sibirica Fisch. ex Turcz (ASFT), belonging to the family of Betulaceae, grows naturally in Asia, Europe, and America. The aims of this study are determining the efficacy of various biomarkers related to hair loss, evaluated by extracting the branch with 60% alcohol, and purely separating diarylheptanoid oregonin, an indicator and active substance, from 60% alcohol extract of the tree. To determine the preventive effects on hair loss, we investigated the anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects on hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity on human hair dermal papilla cells using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and Western blotting analysis for proving of apoptosis-related marker alteration, respectively. Moreover, we examined the ameliorative effects of 60% alcohol extract of the tree and oregonin against changes of oxidative stress-induced cytokine and testosterone-induced dihydrotestosterone production as crucial pathways of the hair loss mechanism. These results suggest that 60% alcohol extract of the tree and oregonin were available as novel natural materials for maintaining hair health in mammals.

Effect of Oxidation Time on the Properties of Cellulose Nanocrystals Prepared from Balsa and Kapok Fibers Using Ammonium Persulfate. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1894.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ammonium persulfate's (APS) oxidation time on the characteristics of the cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) of balsa and kapok fibers after delignification pretreatment with sodium chlorite/acetic acid. This two-step method is important for increasing the zeta potential value and achieving higher thermal stability. The fibers were partially delignified using acidified sodium chlorite for four cycles, followed by APS oxidation at 60 °C for 8, 12, and 16 h. The isolated CNCs with a rod-like structure showed an average diameter in the range of 5.5-12.6 nm and an aspect ratio of 14.7-28.2. Increasing the reaction time resulted in a gradual reduction in the CNC dimensions. The higher surface charge of the balsa and kapok CNCs was observed at a longer oxidation time. The CNCs prepared from kapok had the highest colloid stability after oxidation for 16 h (-62.27 mV). The CNCs with higher crystallinity had longer oxidation times. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the CNCs with a higher thermal stability had longer oxidation times. All of the parameters were influenced by the oxidation time. This study indicates that APS oxidation for 8-16 h can produce CNCs from delignified balsa and kapok with satisfactory zeta potential values and thermal stabilities.

Abstract
In this study, azide and alkyne moieties were introduced to the structure of citric acid-modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and then through a bioorthogonal click chemistry method: Strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, a novel crosslinked HEC scaffold (click sample) was obtained. Chemical modifications and successful crosslinking of the samples were assessed with FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Lyophilized samples exhibited a porous interconnected microarchitecture with desirable features for commensurate cartilage tissue engineering applications. As the stability of scaffolds improved upon crosslinking, considerable water uptake and swelling degree of ~650% could still be measured for the click sample. Offering Young's modulus of ~10 MPa and tensile strength of ~0.43 MPa, the mechanical characteristics of click sample were comparable with those of normal cartilage tissue. Various in vitro biological assays, including MTT analysis, cellular attachment, histological staining with safranin O, and real-time PCR decisively approved significant biocompatibility, chondrogenic ability, and bioorthogonal features of click sample.

Abstract
Targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs are attractive methods for avoiding the drug's leakage during blood circulation and burst release of the drug. We prepared a nano cellulose-based drug delivery system (DDS) for the effective delivery of curcumin (CUR). In the present scenario, the role of nanoparticles in fabricating the DDS is an important one and was characterized using various techniques. The drug loading capacity was high as 89.2% at pH = 8.0, and also the maximum drug release takes place at pH = 5.5. In vitro cell viability studies of DDS on MDA MB-231; breast cancer cells demonstrated its cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. The prepared DDS was also examined for apoptosis, hemocompatibility, and Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) studies to assess its pharmaceutical field application and the investigation results recommended that it may serve as a potential device for targeted delivery and controlled release of CUR for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Aerogels have been widely used in the adsorption of pollutants because of their large specific surface area. As an environmentally friendly natural polysaccharide, cellulose is a good candidate for the preparation of aerogels due to its wide sources and abundant polar groups. In this paper, an approach to construct cellulose nanofibers aerogels with both the good mechanical property and the high pollutants adsorption capability through chemical crosslinking was explored. On this basis, TiO2 nanoparticles were loaded on the aerogel through the sol-gel method followed by the hydrothermal method, thereby the enriched pollutants in the aerogel could be degraded synchronously. The chemical cross-linker not only helps build the three-dimensional network structure of aerogels, but also provides loading sites for TiO2. The degradation efficiency of pollutants by the TiO2@CNF Aerogel can reach more than 90% after 4 h, and the efficiency is still more than 70% after five cycles. The prepared TiO2@CNF Aerogels have high potential in the field of environmental management, because of the high efficiency of treating organic pollutes and the sustainability of the materials. The work also provides a choice for the functional utilization of cellulose, offering a valuable method to utilize the large amount of cellulose in nature.
