[PMID: 39227121 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122566] [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: 05/18/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
Flexible electronic sensing and energy storage technology impose heightened demands on the mechanical and stable properties of gel electrolyte materials. Lignocellulosic nanofiber (LCNF) present a promising avenue for improving the properties of electrolyte networks and mechanical strength. In this study, LCNF derived from hemp fibers was prepared using lactic acid/choline chloride deep eutectic solvent (DES) through a combination of cooking and colloid mill mechanical treatment to achieve nanocellulose with a high aspect ratio and uniform dimensions. The outcomes demonstrated that LCNF, a width of below 20 nm and a length of over 5 μm, can be effectively produced through the DES cooking pretreatment in conjunction with colloid mill mechanical treatment. Meanwhile, DES lignin possessed a purity of ∼90 % and was obtained as a by-product. Subsequently, the as-prepared LCNF was integrated as a nanofiller into gel electrolyte. Ag-L NPs/LCNF/DES/PAA exhibited dense porous structures and showcased exceptional properties, including a high conductivity exceeding 10 mS/cm and remarkable adhesion strength surpassing 100 KPa. The presence of LCNF allowed Ag-L NPs/LCNF/DES/PAA to achieve strains above 1000 % and compression properties over 1000 KPa. The supercapacitor based on this assembly had a high specific capacitance of 271 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1), along with an impressive capacity retention rate reaching ∼100 % after 3000 cycles. This investigation offers valuable insights into the utilization of lignocellulosic multi-component approaches in the development of flexible electronic devices.

Tailoring of spherical nanocellulose via esterification with methionine followed by protonation to generate two different adsorbents for mercuric ions and Congo red.

[PMID: 39242000 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135313] [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: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we report two different adsorbents from spherical nanocellulose (SNC) in successive steps, for the adsorption of Hg2+ ions and Congo red (CR). Cellulose extracted from pine needles was subsequently converted to SNC through mixed acidic hydrolysis. As-obtained SNC was esterified with methionine at C6 of the anhydroglucose unit to produce SNC-methionine ester (SNC-ME). The amino group of methionine residue in SNC-ME was protonated to SNC-PME with positive surface charge. The SNC-ME and SNC-PME were evaluated as Hg2+ ions and CR adsorbents, respectively. The SNC, SNC-ME, SNC-PME, Hg2+-loaded SNC-ME, and CR-loaded SNC-PME were characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, Zeta potential, BET, FESEM, EDS, and surface charge analysis. SNC-ME showed Hg2+ ions removal efficiency of 94.8 ± 1.9 % in 40 min, while SNC-PME showed CR removal efficiency of 96.1 ± 3.8 % in 90 min. The adsorption data of both the adsorbents fitted best into pseudo-second order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of SNC-ME for Hg2+ ions was 211.5 ± 3.1 mg/g and that of SNC-PME for CR was 281.1 ± 7.1 mg/g. The astounding recyclability of the adsorbents for ten repeat cycles with significant cumulative adsorption capacity of 760.9 ± 12.8 mg/g for Hg2+ ions and 758.8 ± 12.7 mg/g for CR endorses their spectacular potentiality for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This study investigates a novel all-polysaccharide hydrogel composed of tragacanth gum (TG) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), eliminating the need for toxic crosslinkers. Designed for potential tissue engineering applications, these hydrogels were fabricated using 3D printing and freeze-drying techniques to create scaffolds with interconnected macropores, facilitating nutrient transport. SEM images revealed that the hydrogels contained macropores with a diameter of 100-115 μm. Notably, increasing the CNC content within the TG matrix (30-50 %) resulted in a decrease in porosity from 83 % to 76 %, attributed to enhanced polymer-nanocrystal interactions that produced denser networks. Despite the reduced porosity, the hydrogels demonstrated high swelling ratios (890-1090 %) due to the high water binding capacity of the hydrogel. Mechanical testing showed that higher CNC concentrations significantly improved compressive strength (27.7-49.5 kPa) and toughness (362-707 kJ/m3), highlighting the enhanced mechanical properties of the hydrogels. Thermal analysis confirmed stability up to 400 °C and verified ionic crosslinking with CaCl₂. Additionally, hemolysis tests indicated minimal hemolytic activity, affirming the biocompatibility of the TG/CNC hydrogels. These findings highlight the potential of these hydrogels as advanced materials for 3D-printed scaffolds and injectable hydrogels, offering customizable porosity, superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Foodborne illness caused by Gram bacteria is the most important food safety issue worldwide. Food packaging film is a very important means to extend the shelf life of food. It reduces microbial contamination and provides food safety assurance during the sales process. However, the food packaging material is derived from plastic. Most plastics are not only non-degradable but also harmful to human health. Biodegradable natural polymers are an ideal substitute, but their poor mechanical properties, hydrophilicity and weak antibacterial properties limit their applications. Rosin is an oily pine ester in the pine family, which is a natural renewable resource with a wide range of sources. It is widely used in various fields, such as surfactants, adhesives, drug loading, antibacterial, etc. However, there are only a few reports on the application of rosin in food packaging. It is worth noting that the unique hydrogenated phenanthrene ring structure of rosin can enhance the thermal stability, hydrophobicity and antibacterial properties of food packaging. More importantly, rosin has a wide range of sources, good biocompatibility, and can be degraded in nature. These advantages are conducive to the application of rosin in food packaging. However, previous reviews focused on resins, silicone rubbers and surfactants. In this review we will focus on the application of rosin in food packaging.

Insights into the effect of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals on mechanical and barrier properties of gelatin films for flexible packaging applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:135726. [PMID: 39293620 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135726] [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: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/20/2024]
Abstract
In this study, gelatin/carboxylated cellulose nanocrystal (cCNC) bionanocomposite films were developed as an eco-friendly alternative to non-biodegradable flexible plastic packaging. Cellulose nanocrystals were modified by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation (cCNC) to strategically interact with amino groups present in the gelatin macromolecular backbone. Gelatin/cCNC bionanocomposite films (0.5-6.0 wt% cCNC) obtained by solution casting were transparent to visible light while displayed high UV-blocking properties. The chemical compatibility between gelatin and cCNC was deepened by electrostatic COO-/NH3+ interactions, as detected by FTIR spectroscopy and morphologically indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Accordingly, Young's modulus and tensile strength of films were largely increased by 80 and 64 %, respectively, specifically near the cCNC percolation threshold (4 wt%), whereas the water vapor permeability (WVP) was reduced by 52 % at the optimum 6.0 wt% cCNC content in relation to the non-reinforced gelatin matrix (0.10 vs. 0.18 g H2O mm m-2 h-1 kPa-1). The oxygen transmission rates (OTR) of the gelatin/cCNC bionanocomposites were < 0.01 cm3 m-2 day-1, making them technically competitive to most promising biopolymers like polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA). This study reveals how TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanocrystals can broaden the performance of biodegradable gelatin films for use in packaging. The gelatin/cCNC bionanocomposites also represent an effective approach for designing newly sustainability-inspired flexible materials from the surface modification of nanocelluloses targeting specific interactions with protein structures.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants are chemical products that are found in low concentrations, are not regulated by environmental norms, and cause health effects. Among this group of contaminants are parabens, a family of p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Recent research describes parabens as endocrine disruptors that can cause health alterations. Some of the best alternatives for pollutant removal include the adsorption process, which can use materials that are inexpensive, abundant, and susceptible to modifications. In this sense, cellulose can be an option for obtaining materials that can be used in the removal of contaminants. This research investigates the synthesis of benzoic cellulose (MCB) and magnetic cellulose (MCM) as well as its use as an adsorbent for the removal of methylparaben (MP) and butylparaben (BP) from water. Likewise, physicochemical characterization, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), for both cellulose materials was carried out. Moreover, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, Weber, Morris, and Boyd models were used to investigate the adsorption kinetics. As a result, the pseudo-second-order model was favorable for both modified cellulose and the two parabens assayed. Finally, Freundlich, Langmuir, and Sips adsorption isotherm models were investigated; the Langmuir model was the best for the adsorption isotherm data. The adsorption of methylparaben and butylparaben was in the following order: MCM > MCB. The maximum adsorption capacity of MP and BP for MCM was 9.58 and 12.03 mg g-1, respectively. For instance, the results showed that the modified cellulose adsorbed the parabens physically, which could involve electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, π-π bonding, and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of an oxidized pine needle-thiosemicarbazone Schiff base (OPN-TSC) from whole pine needles (WPN) as a dual-purpose adsorbent to remove a cationic dye, methylene blue (MB), and Hg2+ ions in separate processes. The adsorbent was synthesized by periodate oxidation of WPN followed by a reaction with thiosemicarbazide. The syntheses of OPN and OPN-TSC were confirmed by FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDS, BET, and surface charge analysis. The emergence of new peaks at 1729 cm-1 (-CHO stretching) and 1639 cm-1 (-COO- stretching) in the FTIR spectrum of OPN confirmed the oxidation of WPN to OPN. FTIR spectrum of OPN-TSC has a peak at 1604 cm-1 (C = N stretching), confirming the functionalization of OPN to OPN-TSC. XRD studies revealed an increase in the crystallinity of OPN and a decrease in the crystallinity of OPN-TSC because of the attachment of thiosemicarbazide to OPN. The values of %removal for MB and Hg2+ ions by OPN-TSC were found to be 87.36% and 98.2% with maximum adsorption capacity of 279.3 mg/g and 196 mg/g for MB and Hg2+ ions, respectively. The adsorption of MB followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with correlation coefficient (R2 of 0.99383) and Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.97239), whereas Hg2+ ion removal demonstrated the Elovich (R2 = 0.97076) and Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.95110). OPN-TSC is regenerable with significant recyclability up to 10 cycles for both the adsorbates. The studies established OPN-TSC as a low-cost, sustainable, biodegradable, environmentally benign, and promising adsorbent for the removal of hazardous cationic dyes and toxic metal ions from wastewater and industrial effluents, especially the textile effluents.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a rapidly growing bionanomaterial with remarkable properties that have been harnessed in various applications, including mechanical reinforcement, biomedical materials, and coatings. However, for non-water-based applications, hydrophobization of CNCs while preserving their integrity is crucial. In this study, we propose a new eco-friendly, one-pot surface esterification method for hydrophobizing enzymatic CNCs in aqueous suspension without solvent exchange. By establishing an appropriate set of reaction conditions, it was possible to create a miscibility gradient that enabled a low-cost, and renewable fatty acid to be utilized as an acyl donor and solvent, allowing direct hydrophobic modification of the as-produced aqueous suspension of enzymatic CNC. FT-IR and AFM-IR analyses confirmed the formation of ester groups, while 13C NMR confirmed the emergence of carboxyl groups. XPS revealed a high degree of surface substitution (0.39) in the modified CNC, while a substantial increase in contact angle (from 40 to approximately 90°) quantitatively confirmed the high efficiency of the enzymatic CNC's hydrophobic modification. Additionally, important properties such as morphology remained practically unchanged, except for a slight increase in thermal stability and crystallinity of the CNCs. Therefore, hydrophobic enzymatic CNCs were successfully produced via a simple, scalable, and environmentally friendly approach without compromising their properties. These hydrophobic CNCs have the potential to enhance nanocomposite compatibility, improve packaging performance for electronics and foods, optimize adhesion in coatings, and offer advancements in cosmetics and drug delivery. However, comprehensive studies are needed to confirm their applicability across these sectors.

Abstract
Celulose nanofibers are lightweight, recycable, biodegradable, and renewable. Hence, there is a great interest of using them instead of fossil-based components in new materials and biocomposites. In this study, we disclose an environmentally benign (green) one-step reaction approach to fabricate lactic acid ester functionalized cellulose nanofibrils from wood-derived pulp fibers in high yields. This was accomplished by converting wood-derived pulp fibers to nanofibrillated "cellulose lactate" under mild conditions using lactic acid as both the reaction media and catalyst. Thus, in parallel to the cellulose nanofibril production, concurrent lactic acid-catalyzed esterification of lactic acid to the cellulose nanofibers surface occured. The direct lactic acid esterification, which is a surface selective functionalization and reversible (de-attaching the ester groups by cleavage of the ester bonds), of the cellulose nanofibrils was confirmed by low numbers of degree of substitution, and FT-IR analyses. Thus, autocatalytic esterification and cellulose hydrolysis occurred without the need of metal based or a harsh mineral acid catalysts, which has disadvantages such as acid corrosiveness and high recovery cost of acid. Moreover, adding a mineral acid as a co-catalyst significantly decreased the yield of the nanocellulose. The lactic acid media is successfully recycled in multiple reaction cycles producing the corresponding nanocellulose fibers in high yields. The disclosed green cellulose nanofibril production route is industrial relevant and gives direct access to nanocellulose for use in variety of applications such as sustainable filaments, composites, packaging and strengthening of recycled fibers.

Surfactant Assisted In Situ Synthesis of Nanofibrillated Cellulose/Polymethylsilsesquioxane Aerogel for Tuning Its Thermal Performance. Macromol Rapid Commun 2023; 44:e2200628. [PMID: 36239163 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202200628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) based aerogel are prepared by the sol-gel method. The objective of this work is to study the impact of surfactant and base catalyst on the thermal and mechanical performance of the corresponding aerogel. The rheological premonitory assists in predicting the bulk properties of the aerogel. The chemical structure of the aerogel is studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). X-ray microtomographic (XMT) analysis confirms the homogeneous and monolithic structure of the aerogel. The lowest thermal conductivity is achieved as 23.21 mW m-1 K-1 with V-0 and HBF rating through UL-94 test. Thermal performance of aerogels is cross-verified through modeling and simulation in COMSOL multiphysics platform. The mechanical properties of aerogel are evaluated by monolithic compression test in axial and radial compression test up to 90% strain, cyclic compression loading-unloading, and reloading test, flexural test, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The time-temperature analysis has shown around 5 °C temperature difference in the middle of the room after using the aerogel panel at the exposed surface, which assists in the practical application of the synthesized aerogel panel.

Abstract
In this work, oxidized sucrose (OS), which is a safe bio-based and non-toxic polyaldehyde, was used as a crosslinker in defibrillated bacterial cellulose (BC) sponges obtained by freeze-drying. For mimicking the proteins' crosslinking, BC was first modified with an aminosilane to partially replace the OH groups on the BC surface with more reactive amino groups. Further, the aminosilane-grafted bacterial cellulose (BCA) was crosslinked with OS in different concentrations and thermally cured. Functionalized bacterial celluloses showed a good thermal stability, comparable to that of unmodified cellulose and much improved mechanical properties. A threefold increase in the compression strength was obtained for the BCA scaffold after crosslinking and curing. This was correlated with the uniform pore structure emphasized by the micro-CT and SEM analyses. The OS-crosslinked BCA scaffolds were not cytotoxic and showed a porosity of around 80 %, which was almost 100 % open porosity. This study shows that the crosslinking of aminated BC scaffolds with OS allows the obtaining of 3D cellulose structures with good mechanical properties and high porosity, suitable for soft tissue engineering. The results recommend this new method as an innovative approach to obtaining biomaterial scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Interconnected macro-porous cryogels with robust and pore-tunable structures have been fabricated using chemically crosslinked microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). Periodate oxidation was initially conducted to introduce aldehyde groups into the MFC surface, followed by the freeze-induced chemical crosslinking via the formation of hemiacetal bonds between aldehyde and hydroxyl at -12 °C. The cryogels with pore-tunable structures and sharply enhanced mechanical strengths were finally achieved by re-assembly of MFCs through soaking in NaIO4 solution. Furthermore, the MFC cryogels were post-crosslinked by polyethyleneimine (PEI), bestowing the cryogels with the capability of adsorbing anionic dyes. The stress of the PEI-MFC cryogel at the 80% strain was determined to be 304.5 kPa, which is the maximum value for the nanocellulose-based cryogels reported so far. Finally, the adsorption performances of PEI-MFC cryogels for methyl orange (MO) were evaluated. Maximum adsorption capacity of 500 mg/g could be obtained by the Langmuir model, outperforming that of previous absorbent materials. Reuse experiments indicated that over 90% of adsorption capacity was retained after 6 cycles. Continuous clean-up experiments demonstrated excellent MO removal abilities of the PEI-MFC cryogel. This study shows that the novel, green strategy to fabricate the robust cryogel extends the practical applications of nanocellulose adsorbents for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Nanocellulose has attracted widespread interest for applications in materials science and biomedical engineering due to its natural abundance, desirable physicochemical properties, and high intrinsic mineralizability (i.e., complete biodegradability). A common strategy to increase dispersibility in polymer matrices is to modify the hydroxyl groups on nanocellulose through covalent functionalization, but such modification strategies may affect the desirable biodegradation properties exhibited by pristine nanocellulose. In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) functionalized with a range of esters, carboxylic acids, or ethers exhibited decreased rates and extents of mineralization by anaerobic and aerobic microbial communities compared to unmodified CNFs, with etherified CNFs exhibiting the highest level of recalcitrance. The decreased biodegradability of functionalized CNFs depended primarily on the degree of substitution at the surface of the material rather than within the bulk. This dependence on surface chemistry was attributed not only to the large surface area-to-volume ratio of nanocellulose but also to the prerequisite surface interaction by microorganisms necessary to achieve biodegradation. Results from this study highlight the need to quantify the type and coverage of surface substituents in order to anticipate their effects on the environmental persistence of functionalized nanocellulose.

Abstract
Promotion of promising cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is largely dependent on the relationship between their morphology, surface chemical composition, and supramolecular structure with toxicity, hemocompatibility, and biodegradability. This paper outlines comparative and integrated analysis of the mentioned biocompatibility aspects of partially acetylated rod-, and disc-lake morphology of CNC with crystalline cellulose allomorphs I and II. These data have also included the study of CNC obtained from the sulfuric acid solutions. The aqueous solution of all types of tested CNC has not been toxic to mice after oral administration. Morphology of internal organs has not changed. However, in case of disc-like particles, the kidney mass coefficient noticeably changed. CNC have neither triggered platelet aggregation nor destroyed the red cell membrane. Intravenous administration to rabbits has not affected the plasma clotting time. Rod-like CNC are more resistant, and the disc-like particles are more susceptible to degradation under the influence of cellulases.

Abstract
Nanoscale-interfaced cellulose nanomaterials are extracted from polysaccharides, which are widely available in nature, biocompatible and biodegradable. Moreover, the latter have a potential to be recycled, upcycled, and formulate therefore a great theoretical predisposition to be used in a number of applications. Nanocrystals, nano-fibrils and nanofibers possess reactive functional groups that enable hydrophobic surface modifications. Analysed literature data, concerning mechanisms, pathways and kinetics, was screened, compared and assessed with regard to the demand of a catalyst, different measurement conditions and added molecule reactions. There is presently only a scarce technique description for carbonOH bond functionalization, considering the elementary chemical steps, sequences and intermediates of these (non)catalytic transformations. The overview of the prevailing basic research together with in silico modelling approach methodology gives us a deeper physical understanding of processes. Finally, to further highlight the applicability of such raw materials, the review of the development in several multidisciplinary fields was presented.

Abstract
We report on gelatin films incorporating rosin-grafted cellulose nanocrystals (r-CNCs), which fulfill the most relevant requirements for antimicrobial packaging applications. Transparent gelatin/r-CNCs bionanocomposite films (0.5-6 wt% r-CNCs) were obtained by solution casting and displayed high UV-barrier properties, which were superior to the most used plastic packaging films. The gelatin/r-CNCs films exhibited a moderate water vapor permeability (0.09 g mm/m2 h kPa), and high tensile strength (40 MPa) and Young's modulus (1.9 GPa). The r-CNCs were more efficient in improving the optical, water vapor barrier and tensile properties of gelatin films than conventional CNCs. Grafting of rosin on CNCs resulted in an antimicrobial nanocellulose that inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial properties of r-CNCs were sustained in the gelatin films, as demonstrated by agar diffusion tests and proof-of-principle experiments involving cheese storage. Overall, the incorporation of r-CNCs as active fillers in gelatin films is a suitable approach for producing novel eco-friendly, antimicrobial packaging materials.

The influence of hydrolysis temperature and acid type with the addition of the post-treatment step was studied. The obtained BCNCs were analyzed based on the structural characterization and the properties of the nanocrystals. The BCNCs crystallinity increased, and the size of nanocrystals decreased with increasing 10 °C hydrolysis temperature for both acid hydrolysis conditions. Hydrolysis conditions with neutralization post-treatment did not alter the thermal stability of nanocrystals, and BCNCs had high thermal stability like raw BCNFs. Elemental analysis results indicated that sulfur content (S %) was very low for sulfuric acid hydrolyzed samples, and X-ray results did not show any sulfate salt peaks. Thermal stable BCNCs with high crystallinity were successfully produced to meet the process requirements in various applications, especially in the food industry.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with microbial accumulation. The purpose of this study was to reuse the agricultural waste to produce cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and further modification of the CNF with κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (CO) for drug delivery. In addition, this study is focused on the antimicrobial activity of surfactin-loaded CO-CNF towards periodontal pathogens. MATERIALS AND METHODS A chemo-mechanical method was used to extract the CNF and the modification was done by using CO. The studies were further proceeded by adding different quantities of surfactin [50 mg (50 SNPs), 100 mg (100 SNPs), 200 mg (200 SNPs)] into the carrier (CO-CNF). The obtained materials were characterized, and the antimicrobial activity of surfactin-loaded CO-CNF was evaluated. RESULTS The obtained average size of CNF and CO-CNF after ultrasonication was 263 nm and 330 nm, respectively. Microscopic studies suggested that the CNF has a short diameter with long length and CO became cross-linked to form as beads within the CNF network. The addition of CO improved the degradation temperature, crystallinity, and swelling property of CNF. The material has a controlled drug release, and the entrapment efficiency and loading capacity of the drug were 53.15 ± 2.36% and 36.72 ± 1.24%, respectively. It has antioxidant activity and inhibited the growth of periodontal pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis by preventing the biofilm formation, reducing the metabolic activity, and promoting the oxidative stress. CONCLUSION The study showed the successful extraction of CNF and modification with CO improved the physical parameters of the CNF. In addition, surfactin-loaded CO-CNF has potential antimicrobial activity against periodontal pathogens. The obtained biomaterial is economically valuable and has great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Interface optimization in preparing natural fiber based biocomposite becomes a key factor that determines overall properties, especially mechanical performance. The solution for upgrading interfacial adhesion stemmed from polar fiber and nonpolar polymer remains unclear. Here, a kind of pulp fiber/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) composite with content ratio of 1:1 was fabricated by functionalizing the cellulose fiber to coordinate interaction between fiber and ABS. With addition of 5 wt % polyacrylamide (PAM) there existed an interlinked three-element structure in composite. Three types of treatment to cellulose fiber, including alkali immersion, pivaloyl chloride grafting for 10 h and 20 h were conducted. Pulp fiber that was treated with alkali for one hour, followed by pivaloyl chloride reaction for ten hours, proved to be effective for interfacial adhesion. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals 21.9% of carbonyl and 12.1% of ester function in this fiber, which corresponds to oxidation and grafting. For its composite SEM picture displays that most of cellulose fiber are rooted in ABS and evident traces of tearing or fracture can be observed after tension test. DMA test indicates that this modified pulp fiber/ABS composite exhibits great compatibility, because of combined loss modulus peak ranging from 80 °C to 100 °C. Moreover, the well miscible composite has a tensile strength of 58.1 MPa and elastic modulus of 2515 MPa, increasing by nearly 50% and 60% from those of pure ABS, respectively.

Abstract
In this experiment, the influence of the morphology and surface characteristics of cellulosic nanoparticles (i.e., cellulose nanocrystals [CNCs] and cellulose nanofibers [CNFs]) on oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion stabilization was studied using non-modified or functionalized nanoparticles obtained following deep eutectic solvent (DES) pre-treatments. The effect of the oil-to-water ratio (5, 10, and 20 wt.-% (weight percent) of oil), the type of nanoparticle, and the concentration of the particles (0.05–0.2 wt.-%) on the oil-droplet size (using laser diffractometry), o/w emulsion stability (via analytical centrifugation), and stabilization mechanisms (using field emission scanning electron microscopy with the model compound—i.e., polymerized styrene in water emulsions) were examined. All the cellulosic nanoparticles studied decreased the oil droplet size in emulsion (sizes varied from 22.5 µm to 8.9 µm, depending on the nanoparticle used). Efficient o/w emulsion stabilization against coalescence and an oil droplet-stabilizing web-like structure were obtained only, however, with surface-functionalized CNFs, which had a moderate hydrophilicity level. CNFs without surface functionalization did not prevent either the coalescence or the creaming of emulsions, probably due to the natural hydrophobicity of the nanoparticles and their instability in water. Moderately hydrophilic CNCs, on the other hand, distributed evenly and displayed good interaction with both dispersion phases. The rigid structure of CNCs meant, however, that voluminous web structures were not formed on the surface of oil droplets; they formed in flat, uniform layers instead. Consequently, emulsion stability was lower with CNCs, when compared with surface-functionalized CNFs. Tunable cellulose nanoparticles can be used in several applications such as in enhanced marine oil response.

Abstract
Biobased, elastomeric polymer poly(glycerol succinate-co-maleate) (PGSMA) was produced using a "green" synthesis with added cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to create a novel PGSMA-CNC material. PGSMA-CNC was synthesized with the aim of developing a new strategy for successfully dispersing CNCs within a poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix for optimal reinforcement of tensile strength and modulus while having the added benefit of the proven toughness enhancements of PLA/PGSMA blends. Optical microscopy and fractionation in tetrahydrofuran showed that CNCs agglomerated during PGSMA-CNC synthesis and remained in agglomerates during PLA/PGSMA-CNC reactive blending. Fourier transform infrared, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic mechanical analyses also showed that PGSMA-CNC inhibited the formation of PGSMA crosslinks and PLA-g-PGSMA during reactive blending. These two effects resulted in loss of impact strength and only a 4% increase in tensile modulus over PLA/PGSMA at the highest CNC content. Further work in preventing CNC aggregation could help improve mechanical properties of the final blend.
