Abstract
The development of a direct method for preparing regenerated cellulose (RC) ultrafiltration membranes from cellulose is urgently needed. In this study, refined cotton was used as the raw material to successfully prepare RC ultrafiltration membranes at room temperature using a ZnCl2/AlCl3 solvent system combined with a nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method. This solvent system effectively degrades cellulose, producing RC ultrafiltration membranes with varying degrees of polymerization (DP). The research results indicate that reducing the DP of cellulose significantly decreases the viscosity of the solution, facilitating the formation of an asymmetric, finger-like pore structures in the membrane. Furthermore, a decrease in DP slightly enlarges the surface pore size and significantly thickens the dense layer. At a DP of 250, the water flux of the DP250-ET membrane reached 630 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of ~300 kDa, enabling efficient separation of viruses (LRV > 3.91) and IgG. The exposure of more hydroxy groups on the RC enhances the membrane's hydrophilicity, indicated by a water contact angle (WCA) of 39.5°. Compared to commercial polyethersulfone (PES) membranes, the DP250-ET membrane exhibited lower protein adsorption and excellent anti-fouling performance in practical applications (FRR > 80 %). Overall, this work confirms the significant potential of the eco-friendly ZnCl2/AlCl3 solvent system in the fabrication of RC ultrafiltration membranes, where the structure and performance of the membrane can be tailored by adjusting the DP of cellulose.

Abstract
In the realization of the goal of circular economy, cellulose as one of sustainable biomass resources, have attracted much attention because of their abundant sources, biodegradability and renewability. However, the mechanical and waterproof performance of cellulose-based materials are usually not satisfying, which limits their high-value utilization. In this study, cellulose membrane with high-performance from the aspects of mechanical properties, water-resistance ability, oxygen barrier capacity and biodegradability, was prepared from bleached hardwood pulp (HBKP) in a AlCl3/ZnCl2/H2O solution. The AlCl3/ZnCl2/H2O acted as both solvent and catalyst to dissolve cellulose and facilitate the chemical crosslinking of epichlorohydrin (EPI) with cellulose, thus improved the overall performance of the obtained cellulose membrane. The addition sequence, amount and crosslinking time of EPI during chemical crosslinking had important effects on the properties of the membranes. When 7 wt% EPI was crosslinked for 24 h, the tensile stress reached 133 MPa and the strain reached 17 %. Moreover, the membrane had excellent oxygen insulation down to (1.1 ± 0.31) × 10-4 cm3/m2·d·Pa, and good water-resistance ability, no obvious swelling behavior after 450 days of immersion in distilled water. Furthermore, the membrane could be degraded by microorganisms in about 20 days. This cellulose-based membrane offers a sustainable and biodegradable packaging material.

Abstract
Dissolving cellulose at low temperatures is a key step in its efficient utilization as a renewable resource to produce high-value-added platform chemicals and high-performance materials. Here, the potential of four aprotic organic solvents was investigated for use as co-solvents with a sustainable DBU-derived ionic liquid (SIL) for the low-temperature dissolution and regeneration of cellulose. Combined experiments, density functional theory calculations, and molecular dynamic simulations were performed. The type and amount of co-solvent were found to have a significant impact on the solubility of cellulose, the dissolution process, and the structure of regenerated cellulose. The addition of organic solvents can significantly reduce the cellulose dissolution temperature and increase the solubility. Among the solvents assessed, 40 wt% DMSO exhibited the most effective synergistic interaction with SIL, where the solubility of cellulose was 14.6 wt% at 75 °C. Subsequently, the effects of the different types and amounts of co-solvents on the microscopic morphology and chemical structure of regenerated cellulose were thoroughly explored. The results showed that different types of organic solvents had different effects on the microstructure of regenerated cellulose. The results may guide the manufacturing specifications of high-performance regenerated fiber materials.

Abstract
The construction of functional cellulose plastics possessing strong UV-blocking, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability is challenging. Therefore, we provide a novel strategy to successfully prepare sustainable and hydrophilic glucose-cross-linked cellulose (GC) plastics showing effective UV-blocking and excellent mechanical properties via hydroxyl-yne click reaction at room temperature. The results demonstrated that hydroxyl-yne click chemistry enabled efficient crosslinking of cellulose with glucose using 4-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) as a catalyst. Moreover, the DMAP residue imparted good UV-shielding properties to GC films exhibiting nearly 100 % UVC (200-275 nm) and 100 % UVB (320-275 nm) shielding ratios. The introduction of glucose imparted superior hydrophilicity (water contact angle of 40.3-43.2°) and improved water adsorption. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the GC films increased with the increasing crosslinking density, and the highest tensile stress was 94 MPa. The water-induced breaking and hydrogen bond reforming strategy led to a stress of 127 MPa and a strain of 25.6 % for the final GC2 film, which were excellent compared to those of the most reported cellulose films. Additionally, GC films were biosafe, exhibited improved oxygen barrier, and good biodegradability. Hence, this study provides a promising and efficient approach for preparing high-performance cellulose plastics.

Abstract
Thin films used in electronic devices are often petroleum-based, non-biodegradable, and non-renewable polymers. Herein, ultrathin ultrastrong regenerated cellulose films were made with a facile method by applying a solution of mildly carboxylated nanocellulose and various amounts of epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a crosslinker. The morphology and physiochemical properties of films were measured using FE-SEM, TEM, FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, XRD, DLS, and TGA. Carboxylated cellulose with a charge content of 1.5 mmol/g was prepared to make alkaline dopes containing nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC). Then, ECH (0-50%) was added and the dope was blade cast, dried in an oven, regenerated in an acid bath, washed, and air dried to make uniform films approximately 1 μm thick. The tensile stress and elastic modulus of the films were measured and found to be 100-300 MPa and 5-12.7 GPa, respectively. Higher amounts of ECH led to stronger films. All films were over 96% transparent, insoluble in water, and absorbed 24-28% moisture. TGA analysis showed ultrathin films were thermally resistant up to 250 °C and were stable and unchanged over a month at 105 °C showing excellent thermal aging resistance. Overall, films with 5-10% ECH are extremely strong, which makes them promising bioresource-based candidates for flexible electronic applications.

Abstract
In this paper, a benzyltriethylammonium/urea DES was investigated as a new green and eco-friendly medium for the progress of organic chemical reactions, particularly the dissolution and the functionalization of cellulose. In this regard, the viscosity-average molecular weight of cellulose (M̄w) during the dissolution/regeneration process was investigated, showing no significant degradation of the polymer chains. Moreover, X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the cellulose dissolution process in the BTEAB/urea DES decreased the crystallinity index from 87% to 75%, and there was no effect on type I cellulose polymorphism. However, a drastic impact of the cosolvents (water and DMSO) on the melting point of the DES was observed. Besides, to understand the evolution of cellulose-DES interactions, the formation mechanism of the system was studied in terms of H-bond density and radial distribution function (RDF) using molecular dynamics modeling. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) was used to evaluate the topological characteristics of the polymeric system such as potential energy density (PED), laplacian electron density (LED), energy density, and kinetic energy density (KED) at bond critical points (BCPs) between the cellulose and the DES. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (AIM), Bader's quantum theory (BQT), and reduced density gradient (RDG) scatter plots have been exploited to estimate and locate non-covalent interactions (NCIs). The results revealed that the dissolution process is attributed to the physical interactions, mainly the strong H-bond interactions.

Abstract
Plastics displaying many merits have been indispensable in daily life and they still maintain the strong momentum of development. Nevertheless, petroleum-based plastics possess a stable polymer structure and most of them are incinerated or accumulated in the environment, leading to devastating impacts on our ecology system. Thus, exploiting renewable and biodegradable materials to substitute or replace these traditional petroleum-derived plastics is an urgent and important task. In this work, renewable and biodegradable all-biomass cellulose/grape-seed-extract (GSEs) composite films with high transparency and anti-ultraviolet performance were fabricated successfully from pretreated old cotton textiles (P-OCTs) using a relatively simple, green, yet cost-effective, approach. It is proved that the obtained cellulose/GSEs composite films exhibit good ultraviolet shielding performance without sacrificing their transparency, and their UV-A and UV-B blocking values can reach as high as nearly 100%, indicating the good UV-blocking performance of GSEs. Meanwhile, the cellulose/GSEs film show higher thermal stability and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) than most common plastics. Moreover, the mechanical property of the cellulose/GSEs film can be adjusted by the addition of a plasticizer. Briefly, the transparent all-biomass cellulose/grape-seed-extracts composite films with high anti-ultraviolet capacity were manufactured successfully and they can be used as potential materials in the packaging field.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols are a phenolic bioactive compound extracted from tea leaves and have been widely used as additives to prepare functional materials used in packaging, adsorption and energy fields. Nevertheless, tea polyphenols should be extracted first from the leaves before use, leading to energy consumption and the waste of tea. Therefore, completely and directly utilizing the tea leaf to fabricate novel composite materials is more attractive and meaningful. Herein, semi-transparent green-tea-based all-biomass light-management films with improved strength, a tunable haze (60–80%) and UV-shielding properties (24.23% for UVA and 4.45% for UVB) were directly manufactured from green tea by adding high-degree polymerization wood pulps to form entanglement networks. Additionally, the green-tea-based composite films can be produced on a large scale by adding green tea solution units to the existing continuous production process of pure cellulose films. Thus, a facile and feasible approach was proposed to realize the valorization of green tea by preparing green-tea-based all-biomass light-management films that have great prospects in flexible devices and energy-efficient buildings.

Abstract
Disposable paper cups are widely used in daily life and most of them are landfilled or incinerated after use, resulting in a serious ecological hazard and significant waste of resources due to the usage of thin polyethylene (PE) as their inner coating. Hence, converting these common solid domestic wastes into high-value added materials is attractive and meaningful. In this study, transparent cellulose-based films were achieved from old bamboo-based disposable paper cups after pretreatment through using the room ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) as solvent. The cellulose-based film with a dense texture demonstrated a relatively nice mechanical and UV-shielding performances, and its tensile strength was as high as 48 MPa, much higher than that of commercial polyethylene (PE, 12 MPa) film. Thus, the resultant cellulose-based film showed a great potential in the packaging field. Besides, the flexible paper plastic composites (PPC) were also fabricated from the rest thin PE coating with the stuck fibers, and it was found that PPC showed excellent mechanical property and hydrophobicity. Consequently, a feasible and eco-friendly process of recycling and reusing waste disposable paper cups was developed to achieve a complete utilization and valorization of waste disposable paper cups.

Fabrication and Characterization of Transparent and Uniform Cellulose/Polyethylene Composite Films from Used Disposable Paper Cups by the "One-Pot Method". Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14061070. [PMID: 35335401 PMCID: PMC8950660 DOI: 10.3390/polym14061070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Disposable paper cups are usually composed of high-grade paper board and an inner polyethylene coatings and are extensively used in daily life. However, most disposable paper cups are only used for a short time and then incinerated or accumulated in landfill at the end of their service due to the difficulty in separating the components, leading to a serious threat to our ecosystem. Therefore, developing a facile and green method to recycle and reuse disposable paper cups is vital. By using ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) as a solvent, transparent and homogenous cellulose/polyethylene composite films were successfully prepared from used bamboo-based disposable paper cups through the "one-pot method", without any pre-treatment. It was found that there was a transformation of cellulose I to II after the dissolution and regeneration processes, and the crystallinity degree of the regenerated cellulose-based materials decreased significantly, resulting in a change in thermal properties. Meanwhile, compared to traditional pure cellulose films, the composite films possessed good UV-shielding properties and hydrophobicity. Moreover, they also displayed good mechanical properties. Additionally, the size of the ground PE coatings displayed obvious effects on the structures and properties of the composite films, where the CPE100 (sieved with 100-200 mesh) possessed the most homogeneous texture and the highest tensile strength (82 Mpa), higher than that of commercial polyethylene film (9-12 MPa), showing superiority as packaging or wrapping materials. Consequently, the goals to fabricate uniform cellulose/polyethylene composite films and valorize the solid waste from disposable paper cups were simultaneously achieved by a facile and green "one-pot method".

Abstract
We have demonstrated, for the first time, high-efficient non-destructive and non-derivative dissolution of cellulose could be achieved in cryogenic aqueous phosphoric acid. Cellulose from different sources and of varying degree of polymerization from 200 (MCC) to 2200 (cotton fabric) could be dissolved completely to afford solutions containing 5 wt%-18 wt% cellulose, from which ultra-strong and tough cellulose films of tensile strength as high as 707 MPa could be obtained using water as the coagulant. These solutions can be stored at -18 °C for extended time without noticeable degradation while desired degree of polymerization is also attainable by tuning the storage conditions. The findings of this work call for renewal attention on phosphoric acid as a promising cellulose solvent for being non-toxic, non-volatile, easy to handle, and cost-effective.

Transparent cellulose/aramid nanofibers films with improved mechanical and ultraviolet shielding performance from waste cotton textiles by in-situ fabrication. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 273:118569.

Abstract
Cellulose films with biodegradability and intrinsically antistatic property have many applications. However, conventional cellulose films show poor toughness and UV-shielding property, and the major sources are high-grade cotton linter or wood pulp. Herein, by using low-cost waste cotton textiles as the raw materials, we successfully fabricated transparent cellulose/aramid nanofibers (ANFs) films, in which in-situ retained ANFs had a diameter of 20-30 nm and a length of several micrometers. Because ANFs and cellulose chains formed strong hydrogen bonding interactions, the tensile strength and elongation of the resultant cellulose/ANFs film with 1.0 wt% ANFs could reach 54.4 MPa and 15.8%, respectively, increased by 63.4% and 154% compared to those of pure cellulose film (33.3 MPa and 6.2%). Meanwhile, the cellulose/ANFs films show excellent UV-shielding properties and irradiation stability. Hence, the novel cellulose/ANFs films with improved mechanical and UV-shielding performance were in-situ prepared leading to enhance the valorization of waste cotton textiles.

Abstract
Paper cups are widely employed in daily life with many advantages, but most of the used paper cups are incinerated or landfilled, due to the great challenge of separating the thin inner polyethylene (PE) coating, causing the waste of energy and the pollution of our environment. Therefore, recycling and converting the used paper cups into high-value materials is meaningful and important. In this work, transparent cellulose-based films were successfully prepared from the used paper cups via 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid after simple pretreatment. Additionally, the difference in properties and structures of cellulose-based films regenerated in different coagulation baths (water or ethanol) was also explored. It was found that the cellulose-based film possessed good thermal property and displayed better hydrophobicity than the traditional pure cellulose film. Moreover, they also demonstrated good mechanical property and the tensile strength of cellulose-based film regenerated in water can reach 31.5 Mpa, higher than those of cellulose-based film regenerated in ethanol (25.5 Mpa) and non-degradable polyethylene film (9-12 MPa), indicating their great potential as the packaging materials. Consequently, valorization of the low cost used paper cups and preparation of high-valve cellulose-based films were realized simultaneously by a facile and green process.

Abstract
In parallel to the rapid growth in economic and social activities, there has been an undesirable increase in environmental degradation due to the massively produced and disposed waste. The need to manage waste in a more innovative manner has become an urgent matter. In response to the call for circular economy, some solid wastes can offer plenty of opportunities to be reutilized as raw materials for the fabrication of functional, high-value products. In the context of solid waste-derived polymeric membrane development, this strategy can pave a way to reduce the consumption of conventional feedstock for the production of synthetic polymers and simultaneously to dampen the negative environmental impacts resulting from the improper management of these solid wastes. The review aims to offer a platform for overviewing the potentials of reutilizing solid waste in liquid separation membrane fabrication by covering the important aspects, including waste pretreatment and raw material extraction, membrane fabrication and characterizations, as well as the separation performance evaluation of the resultant membranes. Three major types of waste-derived polymeric raw materials, namely keratin, cellulose, and plastics, are discussed based on the waste origins, limitations in the waste processing, and their conversion into polymeric membranes. With the promising material properties and viability of processing facilities, recycling and reutilization of waste resources for membrane fabrication are deemed to be a promising strategy that can bring about huge benefits in multiple ways, especially to make a step closer to sustainable and green membrane production.

Abstract
In this study, a novel type of high-strength regenerated cellulose composite fiber reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and nanosilica (nano-SiO2) was prepared. Adding 1% CNF and 1% nano-SiO2 to pulp/AMIMCl improved the tensile strength of the composite cellulose by 47.46%. The surface of the regenerated fiber exhibited a scaly structure with pores, which could be reduced by adding CNF and nano-SiO2, resulting in the enhancement of physical strength of regenerated fibers. The cellulose/AMIMCl mixture with or without the addition of nanomaterials performed as shear thinning fluids, also known as "pseudoplastic" fluids. Increasing the temperature lowered the viscosity. The yield stress and viscosity sequences were as follows: RCF-CNF2 > RCF-CNF2-SiO22 > RCF-SiO22 > RCF > RCF-CNF1-SiO21. Under the same oscillation frequency, G' and G" decreased with the increase of temperature, which indicated a reduction in viscoelasticity. A preferred cellulose/AMIMCl mixture was obtained with the addition of 1% CNF and 1% nano-SiO2, by which the viscosity and shear stress of the adhesive were significantly reduced at 80 °C.

Cellulose-Based Films with Ultraviolet Shielding Performance Prepared Directly from Waste Corrugated Pulp. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13193359.

Abstract
As the most important paper packaging materials, corrugated cartons with a tremendous amount of production demonstrate several advantages and have been widely used in daily life. However, waste corrugated cartons (WCCs) are usually recycled and reused to produce new corrugated cartons, and their properties are decreased dramatically after several cycles. Therefore, recycling and converting WCCs into cellulose-based film with high value is attractive and significant. Herein, without any pretreatment, the waste old corrugated cartons were directly dissolved in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and semitransparent cellulose-based films were successfully fabricated. It was indicated that cellulose-based films displayed better UV-shielding property and hydrophobicity than traditional cellulose films. Interestingly, the cellulose-based films regenerated from deionized water displayed higher tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness. Their tensile strength could reach 23.16 MPa, exhibiting enormous superiority as wrapping and packaging materials to replace the petrochemical polyethylene membrane (8.95 MPa). Consequently, these renewable, biodegradable, and high-valued cellulose-based films were successfully fabricated to simultaneously realize the valorization of old corrugated cartons and supplement the petrochemical plastics.

Abstract
Keratin/cellulose cryogels were successfully fabricated using chicken feathers (CF) and cardboard (C) from environmental waste for the first time, to be exploited in oil/solvent absorption. The keratin/cellulose-based composites were obtained by combining the dissolution of CF and C waste in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Bmim-Cl+) ionic liquid green solvent via regeneration, simply by the freeze-drying method. The characterization analysis of the synthesized keratin/cellulose-based composites was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetry. The as-prepared cryogel can absorb various oils and organic solvents. Moreover, its sorption capacity can reach up to 6.9-17.7 times the weight of the initial cryogel. This kind of CF/C cryogel revealed good and fast absorption efficiency. It could also be reused by simple absorption/distillation and absorption/desorption methods. Through the kinetic analysis, it was found that the pseudo-second-order model was more appropriate for the keratin/cellulose cryogel oil absorption process. Besides, owing to its low cost, good absorption capacity, and excellent reusability, this cryogel has potential for spill cleanup of oils and organic solvents.

Abstract
A biaxially stretched cellulose film with high performance was manufactured from ionic liquid solution through an environmentally friendly, cost effective and facile process. As the transverse stretching ratio (TSR) is increased, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the biaxially stretched cellulose film in transverse direction (TD) are significantly improved and the coefficient of thermal expansion in TD is reduced while the performance achieves balance in the machine direction (MD) and TD. The transverse stretching regulates the microfibril orientation in the gel film from dominantly uniaxial orientation in MD to homogeneous planar orientation. This microfibril orientation may further play a role in the orientation of the chains in the films during gel drying as evidenced from the birefringence and 2D XRD results. These results indicate cellulose film prepared from ionic liquid process could be utilized with improved structural and mechanical properties by biaxial stretching, and thus serves in various applications.

Abstract
The excessive use and disposal of plastic packaging materials have drawn increasing concerns from the society because of the detrimental effect on environment and ecosystems. As the most widely used fruit packing material, polyethylene (PE) film is not suitable for long-term preservation of some tropical fruits, such as mangos, due to its inferior gas permeability. Cellulose based film can be made from renewable resources and is biodegradable and environmental-friendly, which makes it a promising alternative to PE as a packaging material. In this study, cellulose film synthesized from delignified banana stem fibers via an ionic liquid 1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIm][Cl]) were evaluated as packing material for mangos preservation. The moisture vapor transmission rate and gas transmission rate of the synthesized cellulose film were 1,969.1 g/(m2⋅24 h) and 10,015.4 ml/(m2⋅24 h), respectively, which are significantly higher than those of commercial PE films. The high permeability is beneficial to the release of ethylene so that contribute to extend fruit ripening period. As a result, cellulose film packaging significantly decreased the disease and color indexes of mangos, while prolonged the storage and shelf life of marketable fruits. In addition, the cellulose film was decomposed in soils in 4 weeks, indicating an excellent biodegradability as compared to the PE plastic film.

Abstract
For antagonizing urgent water pollution and increasing environmental consciousness, the integration of renewable resources and nanotechnologies has become a trend to improve water quality in the ecosystem. Here, we designed a green route to fabricate regenerated cellulose fibers (CFs) with 3D micro- and nanoporous structures in NaOH/urea aqueous solvent systems via a scalable wet-spinning procedure as support materials for nanoparticles (NPs). Modification of CFs with polyaniline@Ag nanocomposites through in situ reduction of the silver ion with aqueous aniline led to enhanced pollutant removal efficiency of functional cellulose-based fibers (FCFs), demonstrating both rapid hydrogenation catalytic performance for the reduction of p-nitrophenol and high antibacterial properties for in-flow water purification. Most importantly, the hierarchically porous structures of FCFs not only provided carrier space but also formed a limiting domain guaranteeing the homogeneity of FCFs even with a Ag NP content as high as 36.47 wt %. The prepared functional fibers show good behavior in in-flow water purification, representing significant advancement in the use of biomass fibers for catalytic and bactericidal applications in liquid media.

Abstract
In the present work, we report for the first time an in-depth study of the factors influencing porous cellulose film structure formation during the nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) process from biopolymer solutions in ionic liquid-based solvents. The length of the alkyl chain of the ionic liquid's cation, the solvent/co-solvent ratio, and the type of the cellulose precursor used were found to have great influence both on cellulose solution formation and properties and to the NIPS process with water acting as nonsolvent. In the undiluted form, both studied ionic liquids proved to dissolve almost equally well the cellulose; however, due to differences in viscosities of the formed biopolymer solutions and due to differences in miscibility with water of the two ionic liquids, the used ionic liquid had a strong influence on the film's porous structure formation. The use of increasing amounts of an aprotic co-solvent, here dimethylsulfoxide, improved biopolymer solubilization and also led to the formation of a more pronounced macroporous structure during the NIPS process. The cellulose type also affected the porous structure generation during the NIPS process: with the increase of the molecular weight of the precursor, the viscosity of the formed biopolymer solution increased and the tendency to generate macroporous structures decreased.

Abstract
1-Ally-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and CaCl2 were selected to construct dissolution systems to produce value-added products from pretreatment of waste corrugated cardboards (P-WCCs). The dissolution behaviors of P-WCCs before and after ball milling were studied in different dissolution systems. The regenerated cellulose films were quickly and efficiently prepared via dissolving, regenerating, and pressurized drying. When 4 wt % waste corrugated cardboard was dissolved in [Amim]Cl for 4 h at 90 °C, the regenerated cellulose films featured tensile strengths as high as 59.00 MPa. Adding 40% DMSO and 2 wt % CaCl2 increased the tensile strength of the film to a maximum value of 85.86 MPa. This demonstrates that DMSO improves the ability of WCC to dissolve in ionic liquids; Ca2+ improves the tensile strength and thermal stability of the regenerated cellulose film but reduces its transparency. This work provides a new, simple, and highly efficient way to use WCCs for packaging and wrapping.

Abstract
Waste newspaper is one of the most common cellulosic materials. Therefore, effective utilization of this commonly available biomass resource to prepare high-value carbon-based solid acid catalysts is an interesting and meaningful task. In this study we propose a new route for waste newspaper valorization, in which sulfonic-acid-functionalized carbon fiber can be directly produced from waste newspaper as a recyclable carbon based solid acid catalyst (WCSA) for the hydrolysis of cellulose. The as-prepared sulfonic-acid-functionalized carbon fiber contained -SO3H, -COOH, and phenolic -OH groups and exhibited good catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of cellulose. WCSA prepared under sulfonation conditions at a temperature of 100 °C and for a duration of 10 h has a higher sulfonic acid content. A total reducing sugars (TRS) yield of 58.2% was obtained with a catalyst/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) ratio of 4 at 150 °C using a reaction time of 6 h. The recycling performance of the WCSA catalyst indicated that the TRS remained almost stable for five cycles during the hydrolysis of cellulose.

Abstract
A novel lignin-based quaternary ammonium material (lignin-DMC) with excellent corrosion resistant behavior was synthesized by grafting DMC (methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) onto kraft lignin. The structure and anti-corrosion performance of lignin-DMC was investigated using many methods, for instance the scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), charge density analysis, molecular weight analysis, electrochemical methods. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the formation of the lignin-DMC. The experiment results indicated that maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency (87.65%) occurred at a concentration of 75 mg/L via weight loss measurement. Polarization curves indicated that lignin-DMC was a mixed-type inhibitor with an efficient anti-corrosion performance in an acid medium. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicated that lignin-DMC could create a shielding effectiveness and achieve a protective effectiveness in the HCl solution. Moreover, lignin-DMC displayed a physical and chemical adsorption process between 20 KJ/mol and 40 KJ/mol, which followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model.

Abstract
We report hybrid gels based on a high-amylose starch and microcrystalline cellulose with demonstrated properties for gastric-floating drug delivery purposes. The starch/cellulose gels were prepared by ionic liquid dissolution and regeneration, resulting in a continuous surface and a porous interior and a type-II crystalline structure of cellulose. These polysaccharide gels displayed satisfactory elasticity (0.88), recovery (0.26-0.36) and equilibrium swelling (1013-1369%). The hybrid gels were loaded with ranitidine hydrochloride as a model drug and subsequently, low-density starch/cellulose tablets were fabricated by vacuum-freeze-drying. In vitro tests in a simulated gastric fluid indicate that the 3:7 (wt./wt.) starch/cellulose system could maintain the buoyancy for up to 24 h with a release of 45.87% for the first 1 h and a sustained release for up to 10 h. Therefore, our results have demonstrated the excellent gastric-floating ability and sustainable drug release behavior of the starch/cellulose hybrid gels.

Abstract
Supported cellulose ultrafiltration membranes are cast from a cellulose-ionic liquid solution by the immersion precipitation technique. The effects of coagulation bath temperature and polymer concentration in the casting solution on the membrane morphology, wettability, pure water flux, molecular weight cut-off, and fouling resistance are studied. Scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy, and filtration experiments are carried out in order to characterise the obtained ultrafiltration cellulose membranes. The results show the effect of coagulation bath temperature and polymer concentration on the surface morphology and properties of cellulose ultrafiltration membranes. Optimisation of the two parameters leads to the creation of dense membranes with good pure water fluxes and proven fouling resistance towards humic acid water solutions.

Abstract
Facilitated transport cellulose membranes with different zinc ion loadings are fabricated via a facile and green solvent system (zinc chloride/calcium chloride solution). Zn2+ ions lower the pristine hydrogen bonds that normally reinforce the cellulose chains, and Ca2+ ions facilitate interactions among the Zn-cellulose chains to form nanofibrils. The strategy provides an effective route to immobilize zinc species into membrane matrix and constructs facilitated transport pathway for CO2 molecules. The self-standing membranes are transparent, flexible and demonstrate ultraselective CO2 permeation. The optimum separation performance is achieved over CM-0 with the highest zinc content (22.2%), and it exhibits a CO2 permeability of 155.0 Barrer, with selectivity ratios of 27.2 (CO2/N2) and 100.6 (CO2/O2). The excellent separation performance is assigned to the π complexation mechanism between Zn2+ and CO2.

Abstract
In this study, we have attempted to extract cellulose fiber from newspaper waste for circular economy project. Cellulose was successfully extracted from newspaper waste with high purity. It was further developed as a composite with Fe3O4 powder. 10-30 wt% of Fe3O4 was synthesized from conventional synthetic route and it was uniformly distributed into cellulose suspension. The composite was prepared by freeze-dry technique in order to remove water and create the porosity. X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis were employed to characterize the structural and thermal properties of composite. Scanning electron microscope with energy dispersion analysis can be confirmed that uniformity of cellulose and the existence of Fe3O4 powder. Frequency dependence of dielectric properties was used to imply the polarity enhancement of composite. Preliminary adsorption of composite as adsorbent material for Congo red was investigated.

Abstract
Succinic anhydride (SAD) modified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) films was prepared and used for the controlled release of the drug domperidone (dom). The morphology and chemical structure of the modified materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and TG/DSC techniques. The physical properties, such as water uptake and swelling, light barrier properties, mechanical testing, in vitro degradation behavior, have been investigated. Results showed that the modified cellulose membranes exhibited good anti-UV properties, higher water uptake values, improved mechanical capacity and anti-biodegradability. In addition, the modified MCC films (MS) as the drug carrier indicated the controlled release of domperidone and the release mechanism was proposed using Korsmeyer-Peppas equation at pH 7.4. The developed drug delivery system possessed the profound significance in improving pharmacodynamics and bioavailability of drugs.

Abstract
Rapid development of soft micromanipulation techniques for human friendly electronics has raised the demand for the devices to be able to carry out mechanical work on a micro- and macroscale. The natural cellulose-based ionogels (CEL-iGEL) hold a great potential for soft artificial muscle application, due to its flexibility, low driving voltage and biocompatibility. The CEL-iGEL composites undergo reversible bending already at ±500mV step-voltage values. A fast response to the voltage applied and high ionic conductivity of membranous actuator is achieved by a complete dissolution of cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [EMIm][OAc]. The CEL-iGEL supported cellulose actuator films were cast out of cellulose-[EMIm][OAc] solution via phase inversion in H2O. The facile preparation method ensured uniform morphology along the layers and stand for the high ionic-liquid loading in a porous cellulose scaffold. During the electromechanical characterization, the CEL-iGEL actuators showed exponential dependence to the voltage applied with the max strain difference values reaching up to 0.6% at 2 V. Electrochemical analysis confirmed the good stability of CEL-iGEL actuators and determined the safe working voltage value to be below 2.5V. To predict and estimate the deformation for various step input voltages, a mathematical model was proposed.

Abstract
A combination between the nanostructured photocatalyst and cellulose-based materials promotes a new functionality of cellulose towards the development of new bio-hybrid materials for various applications especially in water treatment and renewable energy. The excellent compatibility and association between nanostructured photocatalyst and cellulose-based materials was induced by bio-combability and high hydrophilicity of the cellulose components. The electron rich hydroxyl group of celluloses helps to promote superior interaction with photocatalyst. The formation of bio-hybrid nanostructured are attaining huge interest nowadays due to the synergistic properties of individual cellulose-based material and photocatalyst nanoparticles. Therefore, in this review we introduce some cellulose-based material and discusses its compatibility with nanostructured photocatalyst in terms of physical and chemical properties. In addition, we gather information and evidence on the fabrication techniques of cellulose-based hybrid nanostructured photocatalyst and its recent application in the field of water treatment and renewable energy.

Abstract
In this study, the lightweight, hydrophobic and porous cellulose-based aerogels (CAGs) were synthesized through a freeze-drying process using waste newspaper as the only raw material. After crosslinking with glutaraldehyde and treatment with trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) using a simple thermal chemical vapor deposition process, the resulting CAGs became hydrophobic and oleophilic. Furthermore, the as-prepared CAGs exhibited a low density (17.4-28.7mgcm-3) and mesoporous inner-structure. All these properties attributed the novel aerogel not only with a good adsorption capability of oils and organic solvents, including kerosene, nitrobenzene, and chloroform, but also an excellent filtration capacity of lampblack.
