Abstract
The preparation/application of heterogeneous (nano)materials from natural resources has currently become increasingly fascinating for researchers. Cellulose is the most abundant renewable polysaccharide on earth. The unique physicochemical, structural, biological, and environmental properties of this natural biopolymer have led to its increased application in many fields. The more desirable features of cellulose-based (nano)materials such as biodegradability, renewability, biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, simplicity of preparation, environmentally friendly nature, and widespread range of applications have converted them into promising compounds in medicine, catalysis, biofuel cells, and water/wastewater treatment processes. Functionalized cellulose-based (nano)materials containing sulfonic acid groups may prove to be one of the most promising sustainable bio(nano)materials of modern times in the field of cellulose science and (nano)technology owing to their intrinsic features, high crystallinity, high specific surface area, abundance, reactivity, and recyclability. In this review, the developments in the application of sulfonated cellulose-based (nano)materials containing sulfonic acid (-SO3H) groups in catalysis, water purification, biological/biomedical, environmental, and fuel cell applications have been reported. This review provides an overview of the methods used to chemically modify cellulose and/or cellulose derivatives in different forms, including nanocrystals, hydrogels, films/membranes, and (nano)composites/blends by introducing sulfonate groups on the cellulose backbone, focusing on diverse sulfonating agents utilized and substitution regioselectivity, and highlights their potential applications in different industries for the generation of alternative energies and products.

Abstract
Sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite/Nano cellulose (SA/HA/NC) nanocomposite films that possess good biocompatibility for bone tissue engineering are prepared by a simple solution casting. HA is one of the most frequently used bioceramic materials to achieve a high biocompatibility. The bionanocomposite films are analysed by XRD, SEM, EDAX and FTIR studies. XRD confirms the existence of fillers in the polymer. FTIR spectrum shows the different functional modes in the bionanocomposite films. The morphology of fillers and bionanocomposite films are obtained through SEM. The inclusion of NC with different concentrations into the biopolymer film improves the tensile strength. As a result, the loading of 5 wt % of NC and 10 wt% of HA in the SA polymer shows high tensile strength when compared to the pure SA, SA filled with 10 wt% of HA and SA loaded with 10 wt% of HA and inclusion of NC (0.5 and 2.5 wt%). The tensile strength (TS) of bionanocomposite film with 10 wt % of HA is increased by 17%. TS of bionanocomposite film with 0.5 and 2.5 wt% of NC is increased by 177 and 277%, whereas TS of bionanocomposite film loaded 5 wt% of NC is increased by 331%. The swelling, biodegradation and biomineralization tests suggest that this bionanocomposite films are hopeful biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Effect of Time on the Properties of Bio-Nanocomposite Films Based on Chitosan with Bio-Based Plasticizer Reinforced with Nanofiber Cellulose. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13205. [PMID: 37686012 PMCID: PMC10487500 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241713205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The deterioration of the performance of polysaccharide-based films over time, particularly their hydrophilicity and mechanical properties, is one of the main problems limiting their applications in the packaging industry. In the present study, we proposed to improve the performance of chitosan-based films through the use of: (1) nanocellulose as an additive to reduce their hydrophilic nature; (2) bio-based plasticizer to improve their mechanical properties; and (3) chestnut extract as an antimicrobial agent. To evaluate their stability over time, the properties of as-formed films (mechanical, hydrophilic, barrier and antibacterial) were studied immediately after preparation and after 7, 14 and 30 days. In addition, the morphological properties of the films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, their structure by FTIR, their transparency by UV-Vis and their thermal properties by TGA. The films showed a hydrophobic character (contact angle above 100°), barrier properties to oxygen and carbon dioxide and strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria. Moreover, the use of nanofillers did not deteriorate the elongation at breaks or the thermal properties of the films, but their addition reduced the transparency. In addition, the results showed that the greatest change in film properties occurred within the first 7 days after sample preparation, after which the properties were found to stabilize.

Utilization of vanillin to prepare sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarene as efficient organocatalyst for biodiesel production based on methylation of palmitic acid and oleic acid. Heliyon 2023; 9:e16100. [PMID: 37251819 PMCID: PMC10208922 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Recently, biodiesel production from palm oils has been thoroughly investigated to substitute crude oil due to its scarcity. However, the biodiesel production process is time-consuming due to its slow kinetics; thus, concentrated sulfuric acid has been used to fasten the reaction process in some industries. Unfortunately, sulfuric acid is a toxic, corrosive, and non-environmentally friendly catalyst. In this study, we prepared sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarene derived from vanillin as an efficient organocatalyst to replace sulfuric acid. The catalytic activity of sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarenes was evaluated through the methylation of palmitic acid and oleic acid as model compounds due to their abundant amounts in palm oil. The Calix[4]resorcinarene and sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarenes have been obtained through a one-pot reaction in 71.8-98.3% yield. Their chemical structures were confirmed by using FTIR, NMR and HRMS spectrometry analyses. The results showed that the sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarene exhibited high catalytic activity for methyl palmitate and methyl oleate productions in 94.8 ± 1.8 and 97.3 ± 2.1% yield, respectively, which was comparable to sulfuric acid (96.3 ± 1.8 and 95.9 ± 2.5%). The optimum condition was achieved by using 0.020 wt equivalent of organocatalyst for 6 h reaction process at 338 K. The methylation of palmitic acid and oleic acid fits well with the first-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9940-0.9999) with a reaction rate constant of 0.6055 and 1.1403 h-1, respectively. Further investigation reveals that the hydroxyl group of vanillin plays a pivotal role in the organocatalytic activity of sulfated Calix[4]resorcinarene.

Magnetic alginate-carboxymethyl cellulose to immobilize copper nanoparticles as a green and sustainable catalyst for 4-nitrophenol reduction. Heliyon 2023; 9:e14111. [PMID: 36915528 PMCID: PMC10006674 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14111] [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: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present work, sustainable green catalysts with high activity, and excellent stability were prepared and thoroughly characterized by XRD, FT-IR, BET, VSM, SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, and TGA techniques. The combined sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) biopolymers were functionalized with Fe3O4 nanoparticles to immobilize copper nanoparticles to form Fe3O4@SA-CMC-CuNP nanocomposites in batch experiments. Furthermore, the Fe3O4@SA-CMC-CuNP nanocomposites were utilized as the heterogeneous catalyst for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the presence of NaBH4, and the progress of the catalytic reaction was monitored using UV-visible spectrophotometry. The Fe3O4@SA-CMC-CuNP nanocomposite exhibited much higher catalytic activity for the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction than individual components Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@SA-CMC. The effect of parameters such as the amount of catalyst was evaluated and 30 mg of the catalyst amount with a 95.0% reduction of 4-nitrophenol for 1.5 min was obtained. The effect of reaction temperature was also investigated to find out the activation energy. The analyses of kinetics and thermodynamics were carried out to understand the catalytic behavior. Furthermore, the catalyst can be separated from the reaction system through the usage of a magnet and recycled up to five times without any loss of activity. Therefore, the development of sustainable green catalyst biopolymer-based nanocomposites is promising for new catalysts in the future for treating organic wastewater.
