Hollow nano-objects have raised interest in applications such as sensing, encapsulation, and drug-release. Here we report on a new class of porous materials, namely inorganic nanotube aerogels that, unlike other aerogels, have a framework consisting of inorganic hollow nanotubes. First we show a preparation method for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide nanotube aerogels based on a...

Cellulose-based paper samples were surface-modified by a polymeric single-source precursor prepared from perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) and iron(III)acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) ammonolyzed at 500°C, 700°C, 900°C, 1000°C, leading to C/SiFe(N,C)O-based ceramic papers with in situ-generated hierarchical micro/nano-morphology. As reference, cellulose-free under the same conditions. Upon thermal treatm...

Cellulose is a group of materials that can be made into low-cost devices because they are the most common biomaterials in nature. Cellulose-based polymers flexible, biocompatible, biodegradable, and easy to functionalise mass produce. Cellulosic substrates attractive biosensing platforms their unique properties, exceptional simplicity, compatibility with standard technologies. Furthermore, cell...

Cellulose is a prominent scaffolding polysaccharide found in plants as micro fibrils which form the structurally strong framework cell walls. It has wide variety of uses such attacking agent, emulsifier, stabilizer etc. Its use can be further enhanced by converting cellulose into derivatives. One most important derivatives carboxy methyl (CMC). In present study, converted to CMC thereby prepari...
