Abstract
Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, has been widely attracted owing to availability, intoxicity, and biodegradability. Environmentally friendly hydrogels were successfully prepared from water hyacinth-extracted cellulose using a dissolution approach with sodium hydroxide and urea, and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax) was used to generate cross-linking between hydroxyl groups of cellulose chains. The incorporation of borax could provide the superabsorbent feature into the cellulose hydrogels. The uncross-linked cellulose hydrogels had a swelling ratio of 325%, while the swelling ratio of the cross-linked hydrogels could achieve ~ 900%. With increasing borax concentrations, gel fraction of the cross-linked hydrogels increased considerably. Borax also formed char on cellulose surfaces and generated water with direct contact with flame, resulting in flame ignition and propagation delay. Moreover, the cross-linked cellulose-based hydrogels showed antibacterial activity for gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus). The superabsorbent cross-linked cellulose-based hydrogels prepared in this work could possibly be used for wound dressing, agricultural, and flame retardant coating applications.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared a novel amino cellulose derivative (benzyl cellulose-g-poly [2-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate]) via a homogeneous ATRP method. The successful synthesis of the novel amino cellulose was confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR. This study addressed the different characteristics of the prepared polymer including the thermal stability, solubility, and X-ray diffraction pattern. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized cellulose derivative was investigated using the diffusion disk method against both gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. Based on the inhibition zone, it was confirmed that the prepared benzyl cellulose-g-PDMAEMA possesses acceptable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Staphylococcus aureus while Bacillus subtilis is resistant to the prepared polymer. Also according to the inhibition zone, it was shown that benzyl cellulose-g-PDMAEMA has more impact on E. coli and Salmonella enterica than Staphylococcus aureus. Molecular dynamics simulation was also used to study the interaction of the synthesized cellulose derivative with a model membrane which presented atomistic details of the polymer-lipid interactions. According to the results obtained from the molecular dynamics simulation, the polymer was able to destabilize the structure of the membrane and clearly express its signs of degradation.

Abstract
Cellulose-based luminescent materials are usually formed via either covalent attachment or combination with luminogens. In this work, three luminescent cellulose ethers without conventional luminophores have been homogeneously synthesized in a mixed solvent of tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hydroxide (TBAH)/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The one obtained by etherifying microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with 4-bromomethylbenzoic acid (BBA), i.e., MCC-BBA, exhibits a regenerated crystal form of IVII, whereas the other two are amorphous. The large difference of crystalline properties might be due to the formation of a new hydrogen bond network in MCC-BBA derived from the intermolecular interactions of COOH and their adjacent C2/C3OH groups. Such structural deviations might result in luminescence variations. Indeed, MCC-BBA can give brighter luminescence, which might be derived from crystallization-induced luminescence as well as photo-induced charge transfer effect. The presented work provides new insights into the rational synthesis of cellulose ethers, paving the way toward the design of non-conventional cellulose-based luminescent materials.

Highly selective adsorption of hydroquinone by hydroxyethyl cellulose functionalized with magnetic/ionic liquid. Int J Biol Macromol 2017; 107:957-964. [PMID: 28939516 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2017.09.075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Revised: 09/09/2017] [Accepted: 09/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Magnetic hydroxyethyl cellulose/ionic liquid (MHEC/IL) materials were fabricated through a facile and fast process and their application as excellent adsorbents for hydroquinone was also demonstrated. The thermal stability, chemical structure and magnetic property of the MHEC/IL were characterized by the Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The adsorbents were used for the removal of hydroquinone from simulated wastewater with a fast solid-liquid separation in the presence of external magnetic field. The influence of various analytical parameters on the adsorption of hydroquinone such as pH, contact time and initial ion concentration were studied in detail. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 335.68mgg-1, observed at pH 5 and temperature 30°C. Equilibrium adsorption was achieved within 30min. The kinetic data, obtained at the optimum pH 5, could be fitted with a pseudo-second order equation. Adsorption process could be well described by Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The obtained results indicated that the impregnation of the room temperature IL significantly enhances the removal efficiency of hydroquinone. The MHEC/IL may be suitable materials in phenols pollution cleanup if they are synthesized in largescale and at low price in near future.

Abstract
AbstractHydrophobic cellulosic composites with the nano form of metal oxides possess good absorptive and adsorptive potentials. Native cellulose was regenerated, benzylated, crosslinked and blended with TiO2 nanoparticles to absorb toluene, xylene, chloroform, kerosene and petrol. The composite was fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission emission microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of crosslinker, catalyst and time of absorption was investigated. The FTIR shows stretch and bend vibrations of hydroxyl (-OH), alkyl (-CH), aromatic double bond (C=C) for benzyl cellulose while the appearance of new peaks at 816, 769 and 726 cm−1 for Ti-O stretching vibrations confirms the successful synthesis of the composite. The SEM images revealed the transformation of foam-like appearance of benzyl cellulose to a solidified mass after TiO2 compositing. Enhanced oil absorption was seen as the amount of the aluminum sulfate catalyst was doubled as a high Qmax of 24.16, 25.81, 27.22, 24.03 and 24.43 was obtained when the amount of catalyst used was doubled.

Abstract
The non-toxic and biocompatible cellulose possesses nonspecific binding properties for many protein molecules. But its abundant inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds induce spontaneous self-assembly of cellulose into a random fibrous morphology and cellulose film coating is usually just available for two-dimensional flat substrates, which severely limits its protein adsorption performance. In this study, direct self-assembly of an ultrathin cellulose film on hybrid polyelectrolyte multilayer pre-coated pore surfaces of an anodic aluminum oxide membrane was achieved through the dissolution and precipitation of cellulose from N-methylmorpholine oxide solution. Each pore channel surface pre-coated with a uniform polyelectrolyte hybrid layer (thickness ∼5.0 nm) was covered by a cellulose film (∼15.0 nm) consisting of dense cellulose nanoparticles with a diameter of 5.5 ± 1.4 nm. The three-dimensional porous structure of the aluminum oxide membrane was well-preserved and micrometre-long flexible nanotubes with an average outer diameter of ∼200 nm were obtained after further aluminum oxide template dissolution treatment in an acidic environment. Moreover, the cellulose film coated pore channel surfaces presented sufficient hydrogen bonds and exhibited a high adsorption capacity rate of ∼1.45 mg m-2 for superoxide dismutase. This facile cellulose deposition approach enabled ultrathin cellulose film coating on three-dimensional structured substrates for enhanced adsorption performance for protein molecules.
