Abstract
With the increment in global energy consumption and severe environmental pollution, it is urgently needed to explore green and sustainable materials. Inspired by nature, catechol groups in mussel adhesion proteins have been successively understood and utilized as novel biomimetic materials. In parallel, cellulose presents a wide class of functional materials rating from macro-scale to nano-scale components. The cross-over among both research fields alters the introduction of impressive materials with potential engineering properties, where catechol-containing materials supply a general stage for the functionalization of cellulose or cellulose derivatives. In this review, the role of catechol groups in the modification of cellulose and cellulose derivatives is discussed. A broad variety of advanced applications of cellulose-based catechol-containing materials, including adhesives, hydrogels, aerogels, membranes, textiles, pulp and papermaking, composites, are presented. Furthermore, some critical remaining challenges and opportunities are studied to mount the way toward the rational purpose and applications of cellulose-based catechol-containing materials.

A Versatile Shaping Method of Very-High Loading Porous Solids Paper Adsorbent Composites. SMALL METHODS 2024; 8:e2301343. [PMID: 38032133 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202301343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Owing to their high porosity and tunability, porous solids such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, or activated carbons (ACs) are of great interest in the fields of air purification, gas separation, and catalysis, among others. Nonetheless, these materials are usually synthetized as powders and need to be shaped in a more practical way that does not modify their intrinsic property (i.e., porosity). Elaborating porous, freestanding and flexible sheets is a relevant shaping strategy. However, when high loadings (>70 wt.%) are achieved the mechanical properties are challenged. A new straightforward and green method involving the combination softwood bleached kraft pulp fibers (S) and nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) is reported, where S provides flexibility while NFC acts as a micro-structuring and mechanical reinforcement agent to form high loadings porous solids paper sheets (>70 wt.%). The composite has unobstructed porosity and good mechanical strength. The sheets prepared with various fillers (MOFs, ACs, and zeolites) can be rolled, handled, and adapted to different uses, such as air purification. As an example of potential application, a MOF paper composite has been considered for the capture of polar volatile organic compounds exhibiting better performance than beads and granules.

Abstract
In this study, carrageenase immobilization was evaluated with a concise and efficient strategy. Pomelo peel cellulose (PPC) modified by polyethyleneimine (PEI) using the physical absorption method was used as a carrier to immobilize carrageenase and achieved repeated batch catalysis. In addition, various immobilization and reaction parameters were scrutinized to enhance the immobilization efficiency. Under the optimized conditions, the enzyme activity recovery rate was more than 50% and 4.1 times higher than immobilization with non-modified pomelo peels. The optimum temperature and pH of carrageenase after immobilization by PEI-modified pomelo peel, at 60°C and 7.5 respectively, were in line with the free enzyme. The temperature resistance was reduced, inconsistent with free enzyme, and pH resistance was increased. A significant loss of activity (46.8%) was observed after reusing it thrice under optimal reaction conditions. In terms of stability, the immobilized enzyme conserved 76.0% of the initial enzyme activity after 98 days of storage. Furthermore, a modest decrease in the kinetic constant (Km) value was observed, indicating the improved substrate affinity of the immobilized enzyme. Therefore, modified pomelo peel is a verified and promising enzyme immobilization system for the synthesis of inorganic solvents.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose has garnered remarkable interest from researchers, particularly those working in the biomedical field. In this work, BC microfibers were fabricated via green dissolution (ZnCl2) and regeneration (ethanol). The orientation of cellulose chains was investigated during extrusion and simple post-processing via polarized optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. The results implied that the mechanical properties of BC microfibers can be tuned by rational pre-stretching. The BC microfibers can be programmable, and be used to suture hard or soft tissues. The as-designed paralleled BC microfibers have good biocompatibility and can regulate the directional growth of cells on their surface. The as-obtained BC microfiber with a high tensile strength of up to ∼115 MPa is suitable for surgical sutures. The tunable BC microfibers may be utilized as an adequate fiber-derived biomedical material product.

Abstract
This review summarizes the applications of some of the advanced materials. It included the synthesis of several nanoparticles such as metal oxide nanoparticles (e.g., Fe3O4, ZnO, ZrOSO4, MoO3-x, CuO, AgFeO2, Co3O4, CeO2, SiO2, and CuFeO2); metal hydroxide nanosheets (e.g., Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2·2H2O, Zn(OH)(NO3)·H2O, and Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2); metallic nanoparticles (Ag, Au, Pd, and Pt); carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene, graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and carbon dots (CDs)); biopolymers (cellulose, nanocellulose, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs), and chitosan); organic polymers (e.g. covalent-organic frameworks (COFs)); and hybrid materials (e.g. metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)). Most of these materials were applied in several fields such as environmental-based technologies (e.g., water remediation, air purification, gas storage), energy (production of hydrogen, dimethyl ether, solar cells, and supercapacitors), and biomedical sectors (sensing, biosensing, cancer therapy, and drug delivery). They can be used as efficient adsorbents and catalysts to remove emerging contaminants e.g., inorganic (i.e., heavy metals) and organic (e.g., dyes, antibiotics, pesticides, and oils in water via adsorption. They can be also used as catalysts for catalytic degradation reactions such as redox reactions of pollutants. They can be used as filters for air purification by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They can be used for hydrogen production via water splitting, alcohol oxidation, and hydrolysis of NaBH4. Nanomedicine for some of these materials was also included being an effective agent as an antibacterial, nanocarrier for drug delivery, and probe for biosensing.

Abstract
Multiphase flows through reservoir rocks are a universal and complex phenomenon. Relative permeability is one of the primary determinants in reservoir performance calculations. Accurate estimation of the relative permeability is crucial for reservoir management and future production. In this paper, we propose inferring relative permeability curves from sparse saturation data with an ensemble Kalman method. We represent these curves through a series of positive increments of relative permeability at specified saturation values, which guarantees monotonicity within, and boundedness between 0 and 1. The proposed method is validated by the inference performances in two synthetic benchmarks designed by SPE and a field-scale model developed by Equinor that includes certain real field features. The results indicate that the relative permeability curves can be accurately estimated within the saturation intervals having available observations and appropriately extrapolated to the remaining saturations by virtue of the embedded constraints. The predicted well responses are comparable to the ground truths, even though they are not included as the observation. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using ensemble Kalman method to infer relative permeability curves from saturation data, which can aid in the predictions of multiphase flow and reservoir production.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of advanced electrode materials are significant for the applications of supercapacitors. Ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4), with its high theoretical capacitance is a renowned cathode material. Nevertheless, its low electronic conductivity and poor cycling stability during a long-term charge/discharge process limit its large-scale applications. In this work, the precise modulation of multiple components was reported to enhance electrochemical performance. The ternary heterostructures were fabricated by wrapping ultrathin nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) nanosheets on the surfaces of Fe3O4 nanoparticles-loaded on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-derived porous carbon, named as C/Fe3O4@Ni(OH)2. Due to the large specific surface area and excellent conductivity of CMC-derived porous carbon and the abundant reaction sites of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets, the optimized C/Fe3O4@Ni(OH)2-1.0 sample exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 3072F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) with activated carbon and C/Fe3O4@Ni(OH)2-1.0 as the negative and positive electrodes, respectively, showed an energy density of 123 W h kg-1 at 381 W kg-1, and a long-life stability with an excellent capacitance retention of 90.04 % after 10,000 cycles. The route for preparing composite electrode materials proposed in this work provides a reference for realizing high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has become one of the major threats to human health all over the world, and the development and application of antibacterial materials has drawn great attention. Based on the Schiff-base structure, ZnONPs@ACFs are obtained by loading zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on amino cellulose fibers (ACFs) in-situ through the coordination of amino groups with metal ions. The results of FT-IR, XRD and UV-vis demonstrate that ZnONPs are successfully loaded and uniformly dispersed on ACF surface, and the ACFs maintain intact morphology observed by SEM. Furthermore, the zero-span tensile strength of ZnONPs@ACFs is 66.48 N/cm (ROL: 24.98 N/cm/s) under the optimum conditions, which indicates that ZnONPs@ACFs have a certain strength and can be used to make antibacterial sheet materials via paper-making wet-forming process. Accordingly, the ZnONPs@ACF composites show inhibition zones of 4.95 mm and 1.10 mm against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. The new cellulose-based antibacterial materials demonstrate potential applications in the field of food packaging and biological medicine etc.

Abstract
In recent times, green chemistry or "green world" is a new and effective approach for sustainable environmental remediation. Among all biomaterials, cellulose is a vital material in research and green chemistry. Cellulose is the most commonly used natural biopolymer because of its distinctive and exceptional properties such as reproducibility, cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and universality. Generally, coupling cellulose with other nanocomposite materials enhances the properties like porosity and specific surface area. The polymer is environment-friendly, bioresorbable, and sustainable which not only justifies the requirements of a good photocatalyst but boosts the adsorption ability and degradation efficiency of the nanocomposite. Hence, knowing the role of cellulose to enhance photocatalytic activity, the present review is focused on the properties of cellulose and its application in antibiotics, textile dyes, phenol and Cr(VI) reduction, and degradation. The work also highlighted the degradation mechanism of cellulose-based photocatalysts, confirming cellulose's role as a support material to act as a sink and electron mediator, suppressing the charge carrier's recombination rate and enhancing the charge migration ability. The review also covers the latest progressions, leanings, and challenges of cellulose biomaterials-based nanocomposites in the photocatalysis field.

Abstract
With rising living standards and environmental awareness, materials-oriented chemical engineering has increasingly transitioned from traditional rough models to more resource-saving and eco-friendly models, providing an avenue for bio-based materials in the drug carrier field. Because of its excellent physical and chemical properties, including high specific surface area, abundant accessible hydroxyl groups, biocompatibility, and degradability, nanocellulose (NC) is an emerging bio-based material that has been widely exploited as biomedical materials. The modification techniques of NC, as well as advancements in the design and applications of drug carriers, were primarily discussed in this study. First, the NC modification methods are described; second, the applications of NC and its derivatives as drug carriers are summarized, focusing on NC-based carrier models, types of loaded therapeutic agents, and controlled release stimulators; and finally, the current challenges of NC in the drug carrier field and the directions of future research are also discussed.

[PMID: 35745437 PMCID: PMC9230376 DOI: 10.3390/nano12122089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, the novel morphology of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) with a unique tree-branched structure was discovered by using acid hydrolysis assisted with pre-disintegration treatment from wood pulps. For comparison, the pulps derived from both softwood and hardwood were utilized to extract nanocellulose in order to validate the feasibility of proposed material fabrication technique. The morphology, crystalline structures, chemical structures, and thermal stability of nanocellulose were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Prior to acid hydrolysis, softwood and hardwood pulps underwent the disintegration treatment in the fiber dissociator. It has been found that nanocellulose derived from disintegrated pulps possesses much longer fiber length (approximately 5-6 μm) and more evident tree-branched structures along with lower degree of crystallinity when compared with those untreated counterparts. The maximum mass loss rate of CNFs takes place at the temperature level of approximately 225 °C, and appears to be higher than that of cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs), which might be attributed to an induced impact of amorphous content. On the other hand, disintegration treatment is quite beneficial to the enhancement of tensile strength of nanocellulose films. This study elaborates a new route of material fabrication toward the development of well-tailored tree-branched CNFs in order to broaden the potential widespread applications of nanocellulose with diverse morphological structures.

Abstract
The growth of industrialization and the population has increased the usage of fossil fuels, resulting in the emission of large amounts of CO2. This serious environmental issue can be abated by using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials with promising novel and superior performance as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Emerging nanomaterials derived from abundant natural resources have received considerable attention as candidates to replace petroleum-based synthetic polymers. As renewable materials from biomass, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) nanomaterials exhibit unique physicochemical properties, low cost, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Among a plethora of applications, CNCs have become proven nanomaterials for energy applications encompassing energy storage devices and supercapacitors. This review highlights the recent research contribution on novel CNC-conductive materials and CNCs-based nanocomposites, focusing on their synthesis, surface functionalization and potential applications as supercapacitors (SCs). The synthesis of CNCs encompasses various pretreatment steps including acid hydrolysis, mechanical exfoliation and enzymatic and combination processes from renewable carbon sources. For the widespread applications of CNCs, their derivatives such as carboxylated CNCs, aldehyde-CNCs, hydride-CNCs and sulfonated CNC-based materials are more pertinent. The potential applications of CNCs-conductive hybrid composites as SCs, critical technical issues and the future feasibility of this endeavor are highlighted. Discussion is also extended to the transformation of renewable and low-attractive CNCs to conductive nanocomposites using green approaches. This review also addresses the key scientific achievements and industrial uses of nanoscale materials and composites for energy conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
A solvothermal technique was used to prepare a Zn–benzenetricarboxylic acid (Zn@BTC) organic framework covered with a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC/Zn@BTC). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area were applied to characterize CMC/Zn@BTC. Moreover, the anticancer, anti-migrative, anti-invasive, and anti-proliferative action of CMC/Zn@BTC nanoparticles were assessed on cancer cell lines. Apoptotic markers and DNA damage were assessed to explore the cellular and biological changes induced by CMC/Zn@BTC nanoparticles. The microscopic observation revealed that CMC controls the surface morphology and surface characteristics of the Zn@BTC. The obtained BET data revealed that the Zn@BTC nanocomposite surface area lowers from 1061 m2/g to 740 m2/g, and the pore volume decreases from 0.50 cm3/g to 0.37 cm3/g when CMC is applied to Zn@BTC nanocomposites. The cellular growth of DLD1 and A549 was suppressed by CMC/Zn@BTC, with IC50 values of 19.1 and 23.1 μg/mL, respectively. P53 expression was upregulated, and Bcl-2 expression was downregulated by CMC/Zn@BTC, which promoted the apoptotic process. Furthermore, CMC/Zn@BTC caused DNA damage in both cancer cell lines with diverse impact, 66 percent (A549) and 20 percent (DLD1) compared to cisplatin’s 52 percent reduction. CMC/Zn@BTC has anti-invasive properties and significantly reduced cellular migration. Moreover, CMC/Zn@BTC aims key proteins associated with metastasis, proliferation and programmed cellular death.

Abstract
In this work, an edible cellulose-based antibacterial material was prepared by cross-linking α-cellulose and kanamycin sulfate via glutaraldehyde to form kanamycin sulfate-glutaraldehyde-cellulose. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction results indicated that the kanamycin sulfate molecule was cross-linked with the molecular chain of cellulose. The optimal mass ratio of kanamycin sulfate to α-cellulose was 1:100 and the degree of substitution reached 1.11%. The optimal kanamycin sulfate-glutaraldehyde-cellulose material showed an excellent inhabitation against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Meantime, the optimal kanamycin sulfate-glutaraldehyde-cellulose had a marked resistance to gastric acid and had low cell cytotoxicity. To promote the application of the kanamycin sulfate-glutaraldehyde-cellulose material, the porous microspheres were prepared via the sol-gel method. The particle size of the homogeneous porous microspheres is mainly distributed between 1.5 and 2.0 μm. Therefore, the kanamycin sulfate-glutaraldehyde-cellulose described herein is a potential edible, eco-friendly, potent, stable, inexpensive, and antibacterial carrier material for delivering drugs, proteins, or vaccines.

Abstract
Multifunctional wound dressings urgently need to be developed to meet the various needs of wound healing. In this work, we first proposed a new method about modifying the guar gum (GG) by performing a quaternization graft reaction and then oxidation. The obtained oxidized quaternized guar gum (OQGG) not only has antibacterial function due to the introduction of quaternary ammonium groups, but also can become one of the components of Schiff base hydrogels due to the presence of aldehyde groups. Therefore, we used it and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) to design a hydrogel with antibacterial, hemostatic, self-repairing and injectable properties. We characterized the structure of OQGG and OQGG@CMCS hydrogels, but also evaluated the performance of the hydrogels. The results showed that GG was successfully modified to OQGG and OQGG@CMCS hydrogel was successfully prepared, and the obtained OQGG@CMCS hydrogel showed excellent antibacterial and hemostatic properties, and exhibited self-healing and injectability. In addition, cytotoxicity tests demonstrated that the OQGG@CMCS hydrogels presented good cytocompatibility. Further, the OQGG@CMCS hydrogel significantly promoted wound healing in an S. aureus-infected rat wound model. Therefore, the hydrogel has the potential to be applied as a wound dressing.

Abstract
Developing efficient strategy for nanomaterials dispersion is the key for promoting the utilization of cellulose-based composite in energy storage devices. In this study, an instant synthesis method for cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite film with a deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on choline chloride and urea as a media is developed. This DES shows favorable abilities of recyclability, materials dispersion, and could adjust the pH value for reaction systems of neutral to alkaline which in favor of electrostatic repulsion arising from deprotonated carboxyl groups at the composite surface. As-obtained films feature excellent flexibility, high electrical conductivity (as high as 26.47 S∙cm-1) and well electrochemical properties. Furthermore, a little amount of nitrogen atoms (~3.0 at%) could be introduced in the composite at a mild condition. Overall, this approach offers the potential for cost-effective, environmentally friendly and large-scale production of cellulose-based electrode and numerous advanced applications.

Abstract
Emulsion templating is at the forefront of producing a wide array of porous materials that offers interconnected porous structure, easy permeability, homogeneous flow-through, high diffusion rates, convective mass transfer, and direct accessibility to interact with atoms/ions/molecules throughout the exterior and interior of the bulk. These interesting features together with easily available ingredients, facile preparation methods, flexible pore-size tuning protocols, controlled surface modification strategies, good physicochemical and dimensional stability, lightweight, convenient processing and subsequent recovery, superior pollutants remediation/monitoring performance, and decent recyclability underscore the benchmark potential of the emulsion-templated porous materials in large-scale practical environmental applications. To this end, many research breakthroughs in emulsion templating technique witnessed by the recent achievements have been widely unfolded and currently being extensively explored to address many of the environmental challenges. Taking into account the burgeoning progress of the emulsion-templated porous materials in the environmental field, this review article provides a conceptual overview of emulsions and emulsion templating technique, sums up the general procedures to design and fabricate many state-of-the-art emulsion-templated porous materials, and presents a critical overview of their marked momentum in adsorption, separation, disinfection, catalysis/degradation, capture, and sensing of the inorganic, organic and biological contaminants in water and air.

Abstract
The modification of cellulose with polycarboxylic acid is an important technology to functionalize the substrate. 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) can significantly improve the anti-wrinkle performance of treated cotton fabrics by cross-linking with cellulose. However, the reaction site of BTCA carboxyl and the cellulose hydroxyl has not yet been clarified, which hinders the in-depth understanding about the reaction mechanism and the development of new cross-linking reagents. This study combines Fourier transform infrared and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy to try to make it clear. Results confirmed that BTCA anhydride is an active intermediate (corresponding to the generally accepted theory) to esterify with cellulose hydroxyl, especially the O(6)-H(6) and O(2)-H(2). Cellobiose was taken as a model of cellulose to react with BTCA at variable temperatures, proving the above conclusion. In addition, the C14- or C11-containing carboxyl of BTCA showed a higher reactivity. Based on calculating reaction kinetics and thermodynamics with Gaussian 09W software, the most likely reaction route between BTCA and cellulose was as follows: BTCA → BTCA C5C14 anhydride → C14O15 ester → C14O15 ester C31C34 anhydride → C14O15C33O ester.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) holds several unique properties such as high water retention capability, flexibility, biocompatibility, and high absorption capacity. All these features make it a potential material for wound healing applications. However, it lacks antibacterial properties, which hampers its applications for infectious wound healings. This study reported BC-based dressings containing ε-polylysine (ε-PL), cross-linked by a biocompatible and mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) for promoting infectious wound healing. BC membranes were coated with PDA by a simple self-polymerization process, followed by treating with different contents of ε-PL. The resulted membranes showed strong antibacterial properties against tested bacteria by both in vitro and in vivo evaluations. The membranes also exhibited hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility by in vitro investigations. Moreover, the functionalized membranes promoted infected wound healing using Sprague-Dawley rats as a model animal. A complete wound healing was observed in the group treated with functionalized membranes, while wounds were still open for control and pure BC groups in the same duration. Histological investigations indicated that the thickness of newborn skin was greater and smoother in the groups treated with modified membranes in comparison to neat BC or control groups. These results revealed that the functionalized membranes have great potential as a dressing material for infected wounds in future clinical applications.

Abstract
Ultrafiltration membranes offer a progressive and efficient means to filter out various process fluids. The prime factor influencing ultrafiltration to a great extent is the porosity of the membranes employed. Regarding membrane development, alumina membranes are extensively studied due to their uniform porosity and mechanical strength. The present research work is specifically aimed towards the investigation of nanoporous alumina membranes, as a function of sintering parameters, on ultrafiltration performance. Alumina membranes are fabricated by sintering at various temperatures ranging from 1200–1300 °C for different holding times between 5–15 h. The morphological analysis, conducted using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed a homogeneous distribution of pores throughout the surface and cross-section of the membranes developed. It was observed that an increase in the sintering temperature and time resulted in a gradual decrease in the average pore size. A sample with an optimal pore size of 73.65 nm achieved after sintering at 1250 °C for 15 h, was used for the evaluation of ultrafiltration performance. However, the best mechanical strength and highest stress-bearing ability were exhibited by the sample sintered at 1300 °C for 5 h, whereas the sample sintered at 1250 °C for 5 h displayed the highest strain in terms of compression. The selected alumina membrane sample demonstrated excellent performance in the ultrafiltration of sugarcane juice, compared to the other process liquids.

Abstract
Porous polysaccharides have recently attracted attention due to their porosity, abundance, and excellent properties such as sustainability and biocompatibility, thereby resulting in their numerous applications. Recent years have seen a rise in the number of studies on the utilization of polysaccharides such as cellulose, chitosan, chitin, and starch as aerogels due to their unique performance for the fabrication of porous structures. The present review explores recent progress in porous polysaccharides, particularly cellulose and chitosan, including their synthesis, application, and future outlook. Since the synthetic process is an important aspect of aerogel formation, particularly during the drying step, the process is reviewed in some detail, and a comparison is drawn between the supercritical CO2 and freeze drying processes in order to understand the aerogel formation of porous polysaccharides. Finally, the current applications of polysaccharide aerogels in drug delivery, wastewater, wound dressing, and air filtration are explored, and the limitations and outlook of the porous aerogels are discussed with respect to their future commercialization.

Abstract
Pore geometry plays a crucial role in determining the properties and functions of porous materials. Various methods have been developed to prepare porous materials that have randomly distributed or well-aligned pores. However, a technique capable of fine regulation of local pore orientation is still highly desired but difficult to attain. A technique, termed mold-assisted ice templating (MIT), is reported to control and program the local orientation of micropores. MIT employs a copper mold of a particular shape (for instance a circle, square, hexagon, or star) and a cold finger to regulate the 3D orientation of a local temperature gradient, which directs the growth of ice crystals; this approach results in the formation of finely regulated patterns of lamellar pore structures. Moreover, the lamellar thickness and spacing can be tuned by controlling the solution concentration.

Abstract
This article presents the influence of three additions i.e., hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC), sodium bicarbonate and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum on the porosity of gypsum-based materials. The specific microstructure for a material with good thermal insulation properties i.e., numerous closed pores distributed in the binding matrix, was achieved using HEMC (0.3 wt.%) and sodium bicarbonate (0.5–2 wt.%). The addition of HEMC to the gypsum binder determines, as expected, an increase of the porosity due to its ability to stabilize entrained air. In the case of a sodium bicarbonate addition, the pores are formed in the binding matrix due to the entrapment of the gas (CO2) generated by its reaction. Sodium bicarbonate addition delays the setting of gypsum binder therefore in this study FGD gypsum (waste produced in the desulfurization process of combustion gases generated in power plants) was also added to the mixture to mitigate this negative effect. The decrease of geometrical density (up to 13%, in correlation with the additive nature and dosage) correlated with the increase of the porosity, determines, as expected, the decrease of flexural and compressive strengths (33–75%), but improves the thermal properties i.e., decreases the thermal conductivity (9–18%).
