Abstract Periodate oxidation introduces aldehyde functionality to cellulose. The use of dialdehyde cellulose has been demonstrated for crosslinking and as a chemical intermediate towards functionalized Commercially available nanocrystals (CNCs) typically carry surface sulfate half-ester functionality, which results from their manufacture via sulfuric acid hydrolysis subsequent esterification. g...

Abstract Microemulsion (ME) is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications. In the formulation of MEs, a substantial amount surfactant needed to stabilize lipo-hydrophilic interface, which may have adverse effects on biological cells. Cellulose its derivatives been extensively utilized as solid emulsifying agents, known pickering are added improve stability emulsions. this st...

Evaporation-induced-self-assembly is widely used to produce chiral cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) free-standing films reflecting left-handed polarized light. Research on supported CNC rather scarce. The reflection and/or transmission of unpolarized light are the most common optical techniques characterize selective whereas use quantify properties limited. Here, fabrication glass substrates by a sh...

• Green and renewable cellulose nanocrystals were utilized for heparin recovery. Polycationic side chains grafted from nanocrystals. Instantaneous heparin-capture in biological conditions reduced recovery efforts. Selective heparin-recovery was achieved via salt concentration or pH adjustment. Significantly higher ability than Amberlite achieved. Heparin is one of the most important anticoagula...
