[PMID: 37838107 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127387] [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: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
With the simplification and diversification of separation technologies, nanocellulose membranes have become widely used as insulating materials. Recently, study of nanocellulose membrane modification has become a hot topic. However, the application of nanocellulose membrane has been limited due to their inadequate heat resistance and flexibility. Herein, based on the pyrolytic and thermoplastic properties of cellulose, we innovatively introduced a salt barrier scheme to regulate the degree of hydrogen bonding and thermoplastic bonding between fibers. This was achieved by adding a salt barrier agent, NaCl, in the middle of the nanocellulose to prepare and obtain flexible, high-temperature-resistant nanocellulose film materials. The full-component cellulose films thus prepared exhibited high tensile strength (8 MPa), excellent flexibility (105 mN), high electrical breakdown strength (67 KV/mm), and volume resistivity meeting the standard of insulation materials (3.23 × 1013 Ω·m). This scheme adheres to the principles of low cost, green, non-toxic and non-hazardous, providing a brand new approach for the research and development of high temperature resistant cellulose membrane materials, which is of significant commercial value and industrialization prospect.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 232:123342. [PMID: 36716836 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites have attracted growing attention due to their versatility as new materials for application in different fields. Water remediation is one of the traditional applications of these composites and their investigation as adsorbents for single water pollutants is well established. However, most water resources such as rivers, lakes, and even oceans contain complex mixtures of pollutants. Despite several recently published reviews on water purification technology, they only focused on these material as single pollutant removers and hardly mentioned their capacity to simultaneously recover multiple pollutants. Therefore, there is still a gap in the archived literature considering nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites targeting water remediation with multiple water pollutants. In this review, methods for synthesizing such composites are classified and compared according to the mechanism of reactions, such as chemical crosslinking and physical adsorption, while outlining advantages and limitations. Then, the water pollutants mainly targeted by those composites are discussed in detail to expound the relationship between the synthesis method and the type and adsorption capacity. Finally, the last section presents challenges and opportunities of these nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites as emerging sorbents for sustainable multiple water pollutants purification technologies. This review aims to lay out the basis for future developments of these composites for multiple water pollutants.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 301:134518. [PMID: 35395257 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Nitrophenols(NPs) are highly toxic compounds that occur in various industrial effluents. Herein, we investigated Cu nanoparticle-loaded cellulose nanofibril (CNF/PEI-Cu) aerogels as a catalyst for degrading 4-nitrophenol (4NP) in the wastewater. Non-noble metal based low-cost catalyst material and easily scalable preparation method make CNF/PEI-Cu aerogel as an appropriate catalyst for practical application in 4NP wastewater treatment. Our strategy to improve the loading amount of homogeneously distributed Cu nanoparticles was to functionalize a CNF aerogel using polyethylene imine (PEI), which can bind Cu2+ ions. Porous CNF aerogels with homogenously distributed 20-40 nm Cu nanoparticles were obtained by adsorbing Cu2+ ions and chemically reducing them to Cu metal. The FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS and ICP-OES analysis were used to confirm the in-situ formation of Cu nanoparticles. In the presence of the CNF/PEI-Cu aerogels, 4NP was effectively reduced to 4-aminophenol (4AP) without loss of the Cu nanoparticles. The activation energy (Ea) and reaction rate constant (kapp) of the catalytic 4NP reduction reaction by the CNF/PEI2-Cu aerogels were calculated to be Ea = 39.56 kJ mol-1 and kapp = 0.770 min-1, respectively. The Ea is similar or even smaller than the Ea values of the corresponding reactions involving noble-metal catalysts, demonstrating that the CNF/PEI-Cu aerogels developed in the present study have strong potential as practical and economical catalysts.

Selective Oxidation of Cellulose—A Multitask Platform with Significant Environmental Impact. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15145076.

Abstract
Raw cellulose, or even agro-industrial waste, have been extensively used for environmental applications, namely industrial water decontamination, due to their effectiveness, availability, and low production cost. This was a response to the increasing societal demand for fresh water, which made the purification of wastewater one of the major research issue for both academic and industrial R&D communities. Cellulose has undergone various derivatization reactions in order to change the cellulose surface charge density, a prerequisite condition to delaminate fibers down to nanometric fibrils through a low-energy process, and to obtain products with various structures and properties able to undergo further processing. Selective oxidation of cellulose, one of the most important methods of chemical modification, turned out to be a multitask platform to obtain new high-performance, versatile, cellulose-based materials, with many other applications aside from the environmental ones: in biomedical engineering and healthcare, energy storage, barrier and sensing applications, food packaging, etc. Various methods of selective oxidation have been studied, but among these, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) (TEMPO)-mediated and periodate oxidation reactions have attracted more interest due to their enhanced regioselectivity, high yield and degree of substitution, mild conditions, and the possibility to further process the selectively oxidized cellulose into new materials with more complex formulations. This study systematically presents the main methods commonly used for the selective oxidation of cellulose and provides a survey of the most recent reports on the environmental applications of oxidized cellulose, such as the removal of heavy metals, dyes, and other organic pollutants from the wastewater.

Abstract
Electrospun cellulose nanofiber nonwovens have shown promise in wound dressing owing to the highly interconnected pore structure, high hydrophilicity coupled with other coveted characteristics of biodegradability, biocompatibility and renewability. However, electrospun cellulose wound dressings with loaded drugs for better wound healing have been rarely reported. In this study, a novel wound dressing with a high drug loading capacity and sustained drug release properties was successfully fabricated via electropinning of cellulose followed by polyethylenimine (PEI)-functionalization. Remarkably, the grafted PEI chains on the surface of electrospun cellulose nanofibers provided numerous active amino groups, while the highly porous structure of nonwovens could be well retained after modification, which resulted in enhanced adsorption performance against the anionic drug of sodium salicylate (NaSA). More specifically, when immersed in 100 mg/L NaSA solution for 24 h, the as-prepared cellulose-PEI nonwoven displayed a multilayer adsorption behavior. And at the optimal pH of 3, a high drug loading capacity of 78 mg/g could be achieved, which was 20 times higher than that of pristine electrospun cellulose nonwoven. Furthermore, it was discovered that the NaSA-loaded cellulose-PEI could continuously release the drug for 12 h in simulated body fluid (SBF), indicating the versatility of cellulose-PEI as an advanced wound dressing with drug carrier functionalities.

Abstract
A simple and rapid distance paper-based analytical device (dPAD) for the detection of lead (Pb) in foods is proposed herein. The assay principle is based on competitive binding between carminic acid (CA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) to Pb in a food sample. The paper channels were pre-immobilized with PEI, before reacting with a mixture of the sample and CA. Pb can strongly bind to the CA; hence, the length of the red color deposition on the flow channel decreased as a lower amount of free CA bound to PEI. The dPAD exhibited good linear correlation, with ranges of 5-100 µg·mL-1 (R2 = 0.974) of Pb. Although, the limit of detection (LOD) of this platform was rather high, at 12.3 µg·mL-1, a series of standard additions (8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 µg·mL-1) can be used to interpret the cutoff of Pb concentrations at higher or lower than 2 µg·mL-1. The presence of common metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, nickel, and zinc did not interfere with the color distance readout. The validity of the developed dPAD was demonstrated by its applicability to screen the contamination of Pb in century egg samples. The results obtained from the dPAD are in accordance with the concentration measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) (n = 9). In conclusion, this proposed dPAD, combined with the standard addition method, could be applied for screening Pb contamination in food matrices. This platform is, therefore, potentially applicable for field measurements of Pb in developing countries, because it is cheap and rapid, and it requires no significant laborious instruments.

Abstract
Cellulose/polyethyleneimine composites have increasingly attracted the attention of scientific community, devoted to the design and development of new synthetic strategies and materials for different application fields. In this review, after introducing the main characteristics of the two polymeric components, we provide in the second section a critical overview on the main protocols for the synthesis of these composites, considering both the several cellulose sources and forms, and the different cross-linkers and cross-linking procedures developed for this purpose, outlining advantages and limits for the reported approaches. The last section analyses the principal results obtained in different application fields. A wide discussion is dedicated to the principal use of cellulose/polyethyleneimine composites as sorbents for water remediation from heavy metal ions and organic contaminants. Subsequently, we introduce the literature describing the use of these composites, functionalized appropriately, where necessary, as drug delivery systems, sensors, and heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions. Finally, after a brief description of other random applications, we furnish a personal analysis of actual limits and potentialities for these systems.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials have been recently proposed in the field of environmental remediation. The use of nanomaterials as building blocks for the design of nano-porous micro-dimensional systems is particularly promising since it can overcome the (eco-)toxicological risks associated with the use of nano-sized technologies. Following this approach, we report here the application of a nanostructured cellulose-based material as sorbent for effective removal of organic dyes from water. It consists of a micro- and nano-porous sponge-like system derived by thermal cross-linking among (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF), branched polyethylenimine 25 kDa (bPEI), and citric acid (CA). The sorbent efficiency was tested for four different organic dyes commonly used for fabric printing (Naphthol Blue Black, Orange II Sodium Salt, Brilliant Blue R, Cibacron Brilliant Yellow), by conducting both thermodynamic and kinetic studies. The material performance was compared with that of an activated carbon, commonly used for this application, in order to highlight the potentialities and limits of this biomass-based new material. The possibility of regeneration and reuse of the sorbent was also investigated.

Abstract
The major challenge in preparing polymer nanocomposites is to prevent the agglomeration of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs). Here, with regenerated cellulose (RC) films as supporting medium, UV-shielding and transparent nanocomposite films with hydrophobicity were fabricated by in situ synthesis of CeO₂ NPs. Facilitated through the interaction between organic and inorganic components revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization, it was found that CeO₂ NPs were uniformly dispersed in and immobilized by a cellulose matrix. However some agglomeration of CeO₂ NPs occurred at higher precursor concentrations. These results suggest that the morphology and particle size of CeO₂ and the corresponding performance of the resulting films are affected by the porous RC films and the concentrations of Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O solutions. The optimized nanocomposite film containing 2.95 wt% CeO₂ NPs had more than 75% light transmittance (550 nm), high UV shielding properties, and a certain hydrophobicity.

Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:E1168. [PMID: 30961093 PMCID: PMC6404061 DOI: 10.3390/polym10101168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2018] [Revised: 10/15/2018] [Accepted: 10/17/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, we applied a fast and simple method to synthesize cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels, via a hydrothermal strategy followed by freeze drying. The characteristics and morphology of the obtained CNC-g-AA aerogels were affected by the hydrothermal treatment time, volume of added AA (acrylic acid), and the mass fraction of the CNCs. The formation mechanism of the aerogels involved free radical graft copolymerization of AA and CNCs with the cross-linker N,N'-methylene bis(acrylamide) (MBA) during the hydrothermal process. The swelling ratio of the CNC-g-AA aerogels was as high as 495:1, which is considerably greater than that of other polysaccharide-g-AA aerogels systems. Moreover, the CNC-g-AA aerogels exhibited an excellent methyl blue (MB) adsorption capacity and the ability to undergo rapid desorption/regeneration. The maximum adsorption capacity of the CNC-g-AA aerogels for MB was greater than 400 mg/g. Excellent regeneration performance further indicates the promise of our CNC-g-AA aerogels as an adsorbent for applications in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanocrystals/poly(2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PVA/CNC/polyHEMA) and PVA/CNC/poly(N'-methylenebisacrylamide) (PVA/CNC/polyMBA) hydrogels were prepared by photo-crosslinking followed by freezing/thawing (F-T) cycle and this novel preparation method was reported. The formation of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) resulted from the addition of crosslinking HEMA or MBA monomers displayed improved interfacial adhesion. The produced hydrogels were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), real-time fourier transform infrared (RTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical, swelling and adsorption tests. The results showed both PVA/CNC/polyHEMA with semi-IPN and PVA/CNC/polyMBA with dual network (DN) hydrogels had higher thermal stability, lower water loss rate and better swelling and reswelling and mechanical properties, comparing to PVA and PVA/CNC hydrogels. The adsorption behaviors of hydrogels using xylenol orange (XO) and methylene blue (MB) as model dyes were evaluated, indicating that PVA/CNC/polyHEMA and PVA/CNC/polyMBA hydrogels could hold some dyes. Overall, this work provided a good way for increasing mechanical, swelling, reswelling, thermal, and adsorption properties of PVA/CNC, which will be a promising water-manageable material for agriculture application and a candidate for dye carrier.
