Abstract In this work, deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on imidazole and triethylmethylammonium chloride was used as a reaction medium for the esterification of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) all-cellulose composite (ACC) films with n-octylsuccinic anhydride (OSA) to obtain high strength sustainable increased hydrophobicity. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy X-ray photoele...

This study focused on the development of gelatin-based films with incorporation of microcrystalline cellulose as reinforcement material. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), and black pepper (Piper nigrum) oleoresins containing antimicrobial compounds of natural origin were incorporated into the films. The mechanical, thermal, optical, and structural properties, as well as ...

In winemaking, large amounts of grape skin (GS) are generated as by-products, which contain not only abundant degradable cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin but various functional polyphenols. contrast to most studies focusing on the utilization extractives, current study investigates use ultrasonicated (UGS) containing all components develop a multifunctional composite film. Owing dissociatio...

A novel organic acid-modified starch and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) based films plasticized with glycerol were prepared from unconventional tikhur (Curcuma angustifolia) by solution casting. Wet milling was used in the laboratory to extract rhizome. Carboxymethyl cellulose, at a concentration of (0.2 g−1 dry basis) blended improve its film-forming properties. Three different treatments varyi...

To evaluate the significance of thin-film composite membrane surface morphology on water productivity, flat-sheet experiments were conducted with silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and cerium dioxide nanoparticles. The polyamide thin-film active layer exhibited a valley and ridge morphology that was directly related to the surface roughness, and was found to contribute to particle accumulation ...

Platinum nanourchins supported on microfibrilated cellulose films (MFC) were fabricated and evaluated as hydrogen peroxide catalysts for small-scale, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) propulsion systems. The catalytic substrate was synthesized through the reduction of chloroplatinic acid to create a thick film of Pt coral-like microstructures coated with Pt urchin-like nanowires that are arra...

This research has found a new approach to improving the conductivity of bacterial cellulose BC/Ppy bio composite films prepared using pulling. A wet BC pellicle is immersed in liquid Ppy semiconductor for 30 minutes. The was pulled out tensile testing machine. results show that, after pulling, became better parallel sample drawing direction. Compared non-pulled film, film had higher (σ = 19.2 x...
