Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), as a renewable resource, with excellent mechanical performance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and unique optical performance, is becoming a novel candidate for the development of smart material. Herein, the recent progress of CNC-based chirality nanomaterials is uncovered, mainly covering structure regulations and function design. Undergoing a simple evaporation process, the cellulose nanorods can spontaneously assemble into chiral nematic films, accompanied by a vivid structural color. Various film structure-controlling strategies, including assembly means, physical modulation, additive engineering, surface modification, geometric structure regulation, and external field optimization, are summarized in this work. The intrinsic correlation between structure and performance is emphasized. Next, the applications of CNC-based nanomaterials is systematically reviewed. Layer-by-layer stacking structure and unique optical activity endow the nanomaterials with wide applications in the mineralization, bone regeneration, and synthesis of mesoporous materials. Besides, the vivid structural color broadens the functions in anti-counterfeiting engineering, synthesis of the shape-memory and self-healing materials. Finally, the challenges for the CNC-based nanomaterials are proposed.

Abstract
Currently, research on thermal interface materials (TIMs) is primarily focused on enhancing thermal conductivity. However, strong adhesion and multifunctionality are also important characteristics for TIMs when pursing more stable interface heat conduction. Herein, a novel poly(urethane-urea-imide) (PUUI) elastomer containing abundant dynamic hydrogen bonds network and reversible disulfide linkages is successfully synthesized for application as a TIM matrix. The PUUI can self-adapt to the metal substrate surface at moderate temperatures (80 °C) and demonstrates a high adhesion strength of up to 7.39 MPa on aluminum substrates attributed its noncovalent interactions and strong intrinsic cohesion. Additionally, the PUUI displays efficient self-healing capability, which can restore 94% of its original mechanical properties after self-healing for 6 h at room temperature. Furthermore, PUUI composited with aluminum nitride and liquid metal hybrid fillers demonstrates a high thermal conductivity of 3.87 W m-1 K-1 while maintaining remarkable self-healing capability and adhesion. When used as an adhesive-type TIM, it achieves a low thermal contact resistance of 22.1 mm2 K W-1 at zero pressure, only 16.7% of that of commercial thermal pads. This study is expected to break the current research paradigm of TIMs and offers new insights for the development of advanced, reliable, and sustainable TIMs.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130770. [PMID: 38467230 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
Traditional adhesives easily release toxic gases during the preparation process or apply to wood composite products, which have adverse effects on the human body and the environment. Herein, an all-water-based high-performance wood adhesive is prepared using TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCNF), acrylamide (AM), and tannic acid (TA) through free radical polymerization. Different characteristics of the prepared composites, including morphology, injectability, and adhesion properties, have been investigated. Results showed that the TA/TOCNF/PAM composite has excellent injectability. The addition of TA can enhance the lap shear strength of the TA/TOCNF/PAM composites and with the increment of TA content, the lap shear strength gradually decreases. The formation of effective hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals interaction among the rich functional groups in the composite, lead to strong lap shear strength on different substrates. The composite with 5.0 g of AM, 5.0 g of the TOCNF suspension and 0.1 g TA possesses a high lap shear strength of 10.5 MPa on wood and 1.5 MPa on aluminium. Based on strong adhesion properties and excellent injectability, the TA/TOCNF/PAM composites have great potential in the furniture construction and building industries.

Abstract
Polyphenol hydrogels have garnered widespread attention due to their excellent adhesion, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Gallic acid (GA) is a typical derivative of pyrogallol that is used as a hydrogel crosslinker or bioactive additive and can be used to make multifunctional hydrogels with properties superior to those of widely studied catechol hydrogels. Furthermore, compared to polymeric tannic acid, gallic acid is more suitable for chemical modification, thus broadening its range of applications. This review focuses on multifunctional hydrogels containing GA, aiming to inspire researchers in future biomaterial design. We first revealed the interaction mechanisms between GA molecules and between GA and polymers, analyzed the characteristics GA imparts to hydrogels and compared GA hydrogels with hydrogels containing catechol. Subsequently, in this paper, various methods of integrating GA into hydrogels and the applications of GA in biomedicine are discussed, finally assessing the current limitations and future development potential of GA. In summary, GA, a natural small molecule polyphenol with excellent functionality and diverse interaction modes, has great potential in the field of biomedical hydrogels.

Abstract
In the present work, the composite films were obtained by the solution casting method from chitosan and rice protein hydrolysates, reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) of different contents (0 %, 3 %, 6 % and 9 %). The influence of different CNC loadings on the mechanical, barrier and thermal properties was discussed. SEM showed the formation of intramolecular interactions between the CNC and film matrices, leading to more compact and homogeneous films. These interactions had a positive influence on the mechanical strength properties, which was reflected in higher breaking force of 4.27 MPa. The elongation dwindled from 132.42 % to 79.37 % with increasing CNC levels. The linkages formed between the CNC and film matrices reduced the water affinity, leading to a reduction in their moisture content, water solubility and water vapor transmission. Thermal stability of the composite films was also improved in the presence of CNC, by increasing maximum degradation temperature from 311.21 to 325.67 °C with increasing CNC contents. The strongest DPPH inhibition of the film was 45.42 %. The composite films exhibited the highest inhibition zone diameter against E. coli (12.05 mm) and S. aureus (12.48 mm), and the hybrid of CNC and ZnO nanoparticles exhibited stronger antibacterial activity than their single existent forms. The present work shows the possibility of obtaining CNC-reinforced films with improved mechanical, thermal and barrier properties.

Strengthened self-healable natural rubber composites based on carboxylated cellulose nanofibers participated in ionic supramolecular network. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:587-598. [PMID: 36167103 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Cellulose, as a green reinforcing agent for rubber, has excellent improvement on the tensile strength but usually accompany with a deterioration of extensibility and self-healing property. Herein, we report an efficient method to prepare robust and self-healable natural rubber/zinc dimethacrylate/carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (NR/ZDMA/CNC) composites which are constructed by a CNC participated ionic supramolecular network. Ionic supramolecular network in NR is generated by the polymerization of ZDMA during a controlled peroxide-initiated vulcanization of NR. Interestingly, NR with massive ion clusters has strong affinity with CNC, which facilitates the uniform dispersion of CNC and the compatibility between CNC and NR. Meanwhile, CNC participates into the supramolecular network via non-covalent interaction with NR chains equipped with ionic crosslinks. This greatly reduces the adverse effect of CNC on the dynamic characteristics of supramolecular network. As a result, the tensile strength of NR/ZDMA composite with 20 phr CNC could reach 4.13 MPa, while its self-healing efficiency still maintains at >80 %. Thus, NR composites with non-covalent interaction between CNC and supramolecular network display improved strength, maintained extensibility, and excellent self-healing capability. This study thus demonstrates a feasible approach to reduce the negative effect of reinforcing fillers on a self-healing rubber based on supramolecular networks.
