Abstract
The resurgence of cellulose as nano-dimensional 'nanocellulose' has unlocked a sustainable bioeconomy for the development of advanced functional biomaterials. Bestowed with multifunctional attributes, such as renewability and abundance of its source, biodegradability, biocompatibility, superior mechanical, optical, and rheological properties, tunable self-assembly and surface chemistry, nanocellulose presents exclusive opportunities for a wide range of novel applications. However, to alleviate its intrinsic hydrophilicity-related constraints surface functionalization is inevitably needed to foster various targeted applications. The abundant surface hydroxyl groups on nanocellulose offer opportunities for grafting small molecules or macromolecular entities using either a 'graft onto' or 'graft from' approach, resulting in materials with distinctive functionalities. Most of the reviews published to date extensively discussed 'graft from' modification approaches, however 'graft onto' approaches are not well discussed. Hence, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of 'graft onto' approaches. Furthermore, insight into some of the recently emerging applications of this grafted nanocellulose including advanced nanocomposite formulation, stimuli-responsive materials, bioimaging, sensing, biomedicine, packaging, and wastewater treatment has also been reviewed.

Abstract
This work is strategically premeditated to study the potential of a herbal medicinal product as a natural bioactive ingredient to generate nanocellulose-based antibacterial architectures. In situ fibrillation of purified cellulose was done in cinnamon extract (ciE) to obtain microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). To this MFC suspension, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (cCNCs) were homogeneously mixed and the viscous gel thus obtained was freeze-dried to obtain lightweight and flexible composite aerogel architectures impregnated with ciE, namely, ciMFC/cCNCs. At an optimal concentration of 0.3 wt % cCNCs (i.e., for ciMFC/cCNCs_0.3), an improvement of around 106% in compressive strength and 175% increment in modulus were achieved as compared to pristine MFC architecture. The efficient loading and interaction of ciE components, specifically cinnamaldehyde, with MFC and cCNCs resulted in developing competent antibacterial surfaces with dense and uniform microstructures. Excellent and long-term antimicrobial activity of the optimized architectures (ciMFC/cCNCs_0.3) was confirmed through various antibacterial assays like the zone inhibition method, bacterial growth observation at OD600, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, here 1 mg/mL), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC, here 3-5 mg/mL), and Live/Dead BacLight viability tests. The changes in the bacterial morphology with a disrupted membrane were further confirmed through various imaging techniques like confocal laser scanning microscopy, FESEM, AFM, and 3D digital microscopy. The dry composite architecture showed the persuasive capability of suppressing the growth of airborne bacteria, which in combination with antibacterial efficiency in the wet state is considered as an imperative aspect for a material to act as the novel biomaterial. Furthermore, these architectures demonstrated excellent antibacterial performance under real "in use" contamination prone conditions. Hence, this work provides avenues for the application of crude natural extracts in developing novel forms of advanced functional biomaterials that can be used for assorted biological/healthcare applications such as wound care and antimicrobial filtering units.

Abstract
Hydrogels derived from lignin are typically weak and contain only a small amount of lignin, which limits their broad application prospects. In the present work, a novel lignin/poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogel with a high lignin content, superb toughness, and ultrahigh antioxidative performance is constructed by employing a facile dissolve-dry-swell solvent exchange method. Through this process, lignin and PDMA are self-assembled into a multienergy dissipative structure containing rigid lignin-rich domains. Precisely, the PDMA chains both interpenetrated inside and adhered on the surface of these domains through hydrophobic associations. This structure enables the lignin hydrogels to dissipate energy efficiently during the fracture process. At an optimized ultrahigh lignin content of 58% (dry weight basis), the prepared lignin hydrogel exhibited remarkable mechanical properties, such as a high elastic modulus (2.5 MPa), tensile strength (2.5 MPa), and super tensile strain (11.3), and an extremely high fracture energy above 16 000 J m-2. In addition, the tough lignin hydrogel exhibited a commendable antioxidant property and nontoxicity. All these advantageous properties provide the lignin/PDMA hydrogels with the potential for use in biomedical materials applications.

Abstract
In this work, sodium alginate (SA) based "all-natural" composite bio-sponges were designed for potential application as wound care scaffold. The composite bio-sponges were developed from the aqueous amalgamation of SA and cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) in bio-extracts like Rice water (Rw) and Giloy extract (Ge). These sponges were modified by employing a simple coating strategy using vegetable oil-based bio-polyurethane (BioPU) to tailor their physicochemical and biological properties so as to match the specific requirements of a wound care scaffold. Bio-sponges with shared interpenetrating polymeric network structures were attained at optimized BioPU coating formulation. The interpenetration of BioPU chains within the sponge construct resulted in the formation of numerous micro-networks in the interconnected microporous structure of sponges (porosity ≥75%). The coated sponge showed a superior mechanical strength (compressive strength ~3.8 MPa, compressive modulus ~35 MPa) with appreciable flexibility and recoverability under repeated compressive loading-unloading cycles. A tunable degradation behaviour was achieved by varying BioPU coating concentrations owing to the different degree of polymer chain entanglement within the sponge construct. The physical entanglement of BioPU chains with core structural components of sponge improved their structural stability by suppressing their full fragmentation in water-based medium without affecting its swelling behaviour (swelling ratio > 1000%). The coated sponge surface has provided a suitable moist-adherent physical environment to support the adhesion and growth of skin cells (HaCaT cells). The MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and hemolytic assay revealed the non-toxic and biocompatible nature of coated sponges in vitro. Moreover, no signs of skin erythema or edema were observed during in vivo dermal irritation and corrosion test performed on the skin of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Our initial observations revealed the credibility of these sponges as functional wound care scaffolds as well as its diverse potential as a suitable substrate for various tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The present work aims towards the structuring of a physically cross-linked aerogels based on nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), i.e., NFC/PVA aerogels for oil spillage cleanup. Highly porous (98%) NFC/PVA aerogels having both meso-micro pores were achieved by freeze drying technique. To impart super-hydrophobicity to the composite aerogel, a simple dip coating process was adopted using stearic acid chloride (SAC) solution. The SAC conjugated aerogels combined both superhydrophobic and oleophilic characteristics showed a contact angle of ∼159° and ∼0° with water and oil respectively. FESEM and X-ray microtomography images revealed a self-assembled 3D porous cellular structure of the aerogels. The prepared aerogels were found to be very efficient in separating a series of oil/water mixtures and various organic solvents with excellent selectivity and recyclability. Absorption capacity of the aerogels was at least 35 times higher than their dry weight. Simple mechanical squeezing method was adopted for repetitive uses.

Abstract
This study investigates the synergistic potential of natural bio-extracts for preparing "all-natural" composite bio-sponges of sodium alginate (SA) with the reinforcement of a natural bio-nanomaterial i.e., cellulose nanofibres (CNFs). Aqueous suspensions of SA and CNFs in various combinations of bio-extracts (Rice water (Rw) and Giloy extract (Ge)) were freeze-dried to obtain the composite bio-sponges. Composites prepared using Rw resulted in structurally more stable samples with porosity above 75% that showed a compact honeycomb-like microstructure with interlocked CNFs network structures. A significant improvement in mechanical performance (400% increment in compressive strength and 800% increment in modulus) and thermal stability (decomposition temperature reaching up to 240 °C from 200 °C) for SA based composite bio-sponges was achieved due to the synergistic effect of Rw and CNFs as compared to conventionally prepared sponges in water. Additionally, the use of Ge has resulted in developing antimicrobial surfaces with up to 98% and 90% growth inhibition efficiency for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, respectively. Hence, CNFs and bio-extracts together played a competent role in effective tailoring of structural, thermo-mechanical and antibacterial properties of composite bio-sponges.
