Abstract
Global seafood consumption is estimated at 156 million tons annually, with an economic loss of >25 billion euros annually due to marine fish spoilage. In contrast to traditional smart packaging which can only roughly estimate food freshness, an intelligent platform integrating machine learning and smart aerogel can accurately predict remaining shelf life in food products, reducing economic losses and food waste. In this study, we prepared aerogels based on anthocyanin complexes that exhibited excellent environmental responsiveness, high porosity, high color-rendering properties, high biocompatibility, high stability, and irreversibility. The aerogel showed excellent indication properties for rainbow trout and proved suitable for fish storage environments. Among the four machine learning models, the radial basis function neural network and backpropagation network optimized by genetic algorithm demonstrated excellent monitoring performance. Also, the two-channel dataset provided more comprehensive information and superior descriptive capability. The three-layer structure of the monitoring platform provided a new paradigm for intelligent and sophisticated food packaging. The results of the study might be of great significance to the food industry and sustainable development.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials are fascinating since they are promising for intensely enhancing materials' performance, and they can offer multifunctional features. Creating such high-performance nanocomposites via effective and mild approaches is an inevitable requirement for sustainable materials engineering. Nanocomposites, which combine two-star nanomaterials, namely, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and graphene derivatives (GNMs), have recently revealed interesting physicochemical properties and excellent performance. Despite numerous studies on the production and application of such systems, there is still a lack of concise information on their practical uses. In this review, recent progress in the production, modification, properties, and emerging uses of CNFs/GNMs hybrid-based nanocomposites in various fields such as flexible energy harvesting and storage, sensors, adsorbents, packaging, and thermal management, among others, are comprehensively examined and described based on recent investigations. Nevertheless, numerous challenges and gaps need to be addressed to successfully introduce such nanomaterials in large-scale industrial applications. This review will certainly help readers understand the design approaches and potential applications of CNFs/GNMs hybrid-based nanocomposites for which new research directions in this emerging topic are discussed.

Abstract
Nanocellulose aerogel has the advantages of porosity, low density and high specific surface area, which can effectively realize the adsorption and treatment of wastewater waste gas. The methods of preparing nanocellulose mainly include mechanical, chemical and biological methods. Nanocellulose is formed into nanocellulose aerogel after gelation, solvent replacement and drying processes. Based on the advantages of easy modification of nanocellulose aerogels, nanocellulose aerogels can be functionalized with conductive fillers, reinforcing fillers and other materials to give nanocellulose aerogels in electrical, mechanical and other properties. Through functionalization, the properties of nanocellulose composite aerogel such as hydrophobicity and adsorption are improved, and the aerogel is endowed with the ability of electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding. Through functionalization, the applicability and general applicability of nanocellulose composite aerogel in the field of environmental protection are improved. In this paper, the preparation and functional modification methods of nanocellulose aerogels are reviewed, and the application prospects of nanocellulose composite aerogels in common environmental protection fields such as dye adsorption, heavy metal ion adsorption, gas adsorption, electromagnetic shielding, and oil-water separation are specifically reviewed, and new solutions are proposed.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4371.

Abstract
Traditional conductive materials do not meet the increasing requirements of electronic products because of such materials' high rigidity, poor flexibility, and slow biodegradation after disposal. Preparing flexible conductive materials with excellent mechanical properties is an active area of research. The key to flexible conductive materials lies in the combination of the polymer matrix and conductive components. This combination can be achieved by making a film of renewable nano-microcrystalline cellulose (NCC) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with excellent electrical conductivity-by simple filtration and introducing polyethylene glycol (PEG) to enhance the functionality of the composite film. Graphene imparted conductivity to the composite film, which reached 5.67 S·m-1. A reinforced NCC/rGO/PEG-4 composite film with a thickness of only 21 μm exhibited a tensile strength of 30.56 MPa, which was 83% higher than that of the sample without PEG (16.71 MPa), and toughness of 727.18 kJ·m-3, which was about 132% higher than that of the control sample (NCC/rGO, 313.86 kJ·m-3). This ultra-thin conductive composite film-which can be prepared simply, consists of environmentally sustainable and biodegradable raw materials, and exhibits excellent mechanical properties-has substantial potential for applications in e.g., flexible electronic wearable devices, electrodes, and capacitors.

Abstract
In recent years, the treatment of textile waste has attracted more and more attention around the world. The reuse of textile waste can contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the sustainable development of the economy. Herein, we proposed a facile and cost-effective approach to fabricating aerogel by using textile waste fibers as the matrix and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as crosslinking agents. After being modified with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) via chemical vapor deposition, both the interior and exterior of the textile waste aerogels exhibit a hydrophobic property with a water contact angle of up to 136.9° ± 2.3°. A comprehensive investigation of the structure, thermal properties, mechanical properties and oil absorption capacity of this aerogel shows its potential for building insulation and oil spill cleanup. The textile waste fibers aerogels have low density and high porosity, good thermal stability and outstanding heat insulation properties (Kavg. = 0.049–0.061 W/m·K). With a maximum oil absorption value of 26.9 ± 0.6 g/g and rapid and effective oil/water mixture separation, the aerogel exhibits competitive commercial application value.

Abstract
With the commitment to reducing environmental impact, bio-based and biodegradable aerogels may be one approach when looking for greener solutions with similar attributes to current foam-like materials. This study aimed to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and flame-retardant behavior of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aerogels by adding sodium alginate (SA) and tannic acid (TA). Aerogels were obtained by freeze-drying and post-ion crosslinking through calcium chloride (CaCl2) and boric acid (H3BO3) solutions. The incorporation of TA and SA enhanced the PVA aerogel’s mechanical properties, as shown by their high compressive specific moduli, reaching up to a six-fold increase after crosslinking and drying. The PVA/TA/SA aerogels presented a thermal conductivity of 0.043 to 0.046 W/m·K, while crosslinked ones showed higher values (0.049 to 0.060 W/m·K). Under TGA pyrolytic conditions, char layer formation reduced the thermal degradation rate of samples. After crosslinking, a seven-fold decrease in the thermal degradation rate was observed, confirming the high thermal stability of the formed foams. Regarding flammability, aerogels were tested through cone calorimetry. PVA/TA/SA aerogels showed a significant drop in the main parameters, such as the heat release rate (HRR) and the fire growth (FIGRA). The ion crosslinking resulted in a further reduction, confirming the improvement in the fire resistance of the modified compositions.

Ultralight, Mechanically Enhanced, and Thermally Improved Graphene-Cellulose-Polyethyleneimine Aerogels for the Adsorption of Anionic and Cationic Dyes. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12101727.

Abstract
Graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogels (GA-MCC-PEI) were prepared using a simple, environmentally friendly method to remove anionic and cationic dyes in water. Graphene-cellulose hydrogels were prepared using a hydrothermal method and then immersed in a polyethyleneimine aqueous solution for 48 h to obtain graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine hydrogels, which were then freeze-dried. The light and porous composite aerogels had a good compression resistance, and the maximum allowable pressure of the graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel with a cellulose content of 43% was 21.76 kPa, which was 827 times its weight. Adsorption of the anionic dye amaranth and the cationic dye methylene blue by the graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel was satisfactorily modeled using the Langmuir isothermal equation, indicating monolayer adsorption. When the cellulose content was 39%, the equilibrium adsorption capacities of the composite aerogel for amaranth and methylene blue were 369.37 mg/g and 237.33 mg/g, respectively. This graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel can be used to remove dye pollutants in water to maintain ecological balance, thus broadening the application space of aerogel materials, that is, as adsorbents in different environments.

Preparation of Graphene Oxide/Cellulose Composites with Microcrystalline Cellulose Acid Hydrolysis Using the Waste Acids Generated by the Hummers Method of Graphene Oxide Synthesis. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13244453. [PMID: 34961004 PMCID: PMC8706496 DOI: 10.3390/polym13244453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The Hummers method is the most commonly used method to prepare graphene oxide (GO). However, many waste acids remain in the raw reaction mixture after the completion of this reaction. The aim of this study was to reuse these waste acids efficiently. In this study, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was directly dissolved in the mixture after the high-temperature reaction of the Hummers method. The residual acid was used to hydrolyze MCC, and the graphene oxide/microcrystalline cellulose (GO/MCC) composites were prepared, while the acid was reused. The effects of MCC addition (0.5 g, 1.0 g, and 1.5 g in 20 mL) on the properties of the composites were discussed. The structure, composition, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity of GO/MCC composites were characterized and tested by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG, and contact angle tests. The results showed that MCC could be acid hydrolyzed into micron and nano-scale cellulose by using the strong acidity of waste liquid after GO preparation, and it interacted with the prepared GO to form GO/MCC composites. When the addition amount of MCC was 1 g, the thermal stability of the composite was the highest due to the interaction between acid-hydrolyzed MCC and GO sheets. At the same time, the hydrophobic property of the GO/MCC composite is better than that of the GO film. The freeze-dried GO/MCC composites are more easily dispersed in water and have stronger stability.
