Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have shown immense promise in medical applications, especially in cancer treatment, owing to their excellent biocompatibility and potential for functional modifications. Considering the crucial role of the protein reduced glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in cancer progression, we embarked to immobilize CNCs with GAPDH and fluorescent molecules FITC, creating FCNC-G through regioselective modifications. Furthermore, an accelerated proliferation of cancer cells was observed in the presence of FCNC-G. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of FCNC-G, we loaded it with doxorubicin (DOX) to create FCNC-G-D and tested its effect on Hepg2. We observed a significant inhibition of Hepg2 cells exposed to low concentrations of FCNC-G-D. Additionally, mitochondrial dysfunction was detected in Hepg2 and Cal27 cells, treated with FCNC-G-D, but not in A375 cells, further highlighting its selective impact on cancer cells. Given the limitations of DOX in clinical applications, our findings establish a strong foundation for further research on the potential of CNCs grafted with GAPDH as a novel cancer-targeted biocarrier with high affinity. The combination of CNCs unique properties with targeted delivery strategies holds tremendous promise for the development of more effective and safer cancer therapies.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly smart ink was developed by incorporating fluorescein into functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles synthesized using an emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization approach. The functional comonomers of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), acrylamide, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate in 10 wt % with respect to methyl methacrylate were used to obtain the functionalized colloidal PMMA nanoparticles. Functional groups of the latex nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscopy results showed that all of the latex nanoparticles have nearly spherical morphologies with variations in size and surface smoothness due to the presence of different comonomers. Ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectra indicated that the fluorescein-doped latex nanoparticles containing the DMAEMA comonomer had the highest absorbance and fluorescence intensity. In the alkaline media, fluorescein turns to a dianion, showing a red shift and increased absorbance in the UV-vis spectroscopy. In addition, the electron inductive characteristics of the tertiary amine groups result in enhancing the conjugation of fluorescein molecules and increasing the fluorescence intensities. Therefore, the colloidal nanoparticles with amine functional groups were used in the formulation of a smart ink with applications in securing documents and fingerprints, encrypting banknotes and money, detecting latent fingerprints, crafting anticounterfeiting paper, and eventually providing optical detection and indication of surface scratches.

Abstract
Collagen fiber has attracted much attention due to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability. In the present research, we prepared a type of non-fluorine hydrophobic and oil-resistant material using collagen fiber, chitosan, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as raw materials. To improve oil/grease resistance, the first layer filled the porous matrix and was made from the cross-linking product of collagen fiber/chitosan and glutaraldehyde. This was followed by a simple coating of PDMS, to increase hydrophobicity and water resistance. Notably, 10 g/m2 of cross-linking product and 6 g/m2 of PDMS had a low pore size as well as a smooth and uniform surface, which made the composites exhibit excellent hydrophobic and oil-resistant properties (water contact angles of 141°), water and oil resistance (kit rating value of 12/12) and mechanical properties. Fluorine-free environment-friendly materials with high water and oil resistance play an important role in promoting the development of high-performance materials for food packaging.

Abstract
This work explored the fluorescence properties of nano/cellulose isolated from bleached softwood kraft pulp by TEMPO oxidation. Fluorescence spectra showed that all samples exhibited a typical emission peak at 574 nm due to the probabilistic formation of unsaturated bonds by glycosidic bonds independent of lignin. Increasing the excitation wavelengths (510-530 nm) caused red shift of fluorescence emission peaks (570-585 nm) with unchanged fluorescence intensity. Conversely, changing acid/alkaline conditions led to an increase of fluorescence intensity with no shifting of fluorescence emission peak. This can be attributed to an increase in the polarity of the solution environment but does not cause interaction of functional groups within the system identified by generalized two-dimensional correlation fluorescence spectroscopy. This study provides new insight in applying nano/cellulose with special luminous characteristics in biomedicine area such as multi-color biological imaging and chemical sensing.

Abstract
Cellulosic nanomaterials are in the focus of academia and industry to realize light-weight biobased materials with remarkable strength. While the effect is well known, the distribution of these nanomaterials are less explored, particularly for paper sheets. Here, we explore the 3D distribution of micro and nanosized cellulosic particles in paper sheets and correlate their extent of fibrillation to the distribution inside the sheets and subsequently to paper properties. To overcome challenges with contrast between the particles and the matrix, we attached probes on the cellulose nano/microparticles, either by covalent attachment of fluorescent dyes or by physical deposition of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. The increased contrast enabled visualization of the micro and nanosized particles inside the paper matrix using multiphoton microscopy, X-ray microtomography and SEM-EDX. The results indicate that fibrillary fines enrich at pores and fiber-fiber junctions, thereby increasing the relative bonded area between fibers to enhance paper strength while CNF seems to additionally form an inner 3D network.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have great potential to be a layer in packaging materials because of their good barrier properties. When paper is coated with CNFs, they are difficult to distinguish from the base sheet. This issue creates challenges when trying to determine where CNFs migrate relative to the paper fibers during coating and drying. A three- dimensional analysis is possible by using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) if CNFs can be tagged with fluorescently active groups. In this study, CNFs were fluorescently tagged through adsorption of fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and thioflavin by mixing with CNFs in their native suspension followed by purification. The adsorbed dye remained attached during typical coating procedures, low pH values, and high ionic strengths, but not for high pH and in contact with acetone. CNFs were also covalently tagged with FITC following methods reported in the literature as a comparison to already established methods for tagging cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Images of never dried samples indicated that covalently tagging CNFs altered the state of the fines dispersion, while dye adsorption did not. Coatings of the adsorbed dye tagged CNFs on paper were successfully imaged by CLSM since the concentration of dye in the water phase was low enough to provide a good contrast between regions of CNFs and paper. With this method, the location and potential migration of CNFs coated on paper were successfully determined for the first time to the best of our knowledge. CNF based coatings with solids larger than 2.8% were found to have a distinct layer of CNFs at the paper surface with little CNFs penetrating into the paper structure, but lower solids result in significant penetration into the paper.
