Abstract The production of sustainable and high-performance fabrics requires high mechanical strength the individual (staple) fibers. Although Ioncell fibers already exhibit higher fiber than commercial man-made cellulose or cotton fibers, we further aimed to increase both toughness gradually approach synthetic in these properties. Decisive factors for achievable properties were pulp purity, co...

Abstract Objectives Sometimes, severe adhesion occurs between the rectus abdominis muscle and ileal intestinal limbs after temporary diverting ileostomy. This can make ileostomy reversal difficult. The aim of present study is to assess whether absorbable barrier made oxidized regenerated cellulose (INTERCEED) could contribute improved surgical outcomes in stoma reversal. Methods was a single-in...

Surgicel® (regenerated oxidized cellulose) is a bio-absorbable hemostatic material widely applied to prevent surgery-derived adhesions. Some critical issues have been reported associated with this biomaterial, which we aimed overcome by producing bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membranes activity, through electrochemical oxidation using the tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radical. Samples we...

Softwood sulfite bleached cellulose pulp was oxidized with Oxone® and cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were produced after mechanical treatment with a high-shear homogenizer. UV-vis transmittance of dispersions of oxidized cellulose with different degrees of mechanical treatment was recorded. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of samples prepared f...

Fortisan, cellulose triacetate, and NOroxidized cellulose were pyrolyzed in a vacuum in the temperature range 1800 to 465 0 C. Cotton cellulose and cellulose t ri acetate were also pyrolyzed in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. The tar yields were in the decreasing order from: Cotton, Fortisan, cellulose triacetate, and oxidized cellulose. The other volatiles consisted mainly of acetic acid, ca...
