The cellulose derivative hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has recently been extensively studied and used in mechanical applications. However, the softness susceptibility to deformation of HPMC limited its further In this study, metal nanoparticles (nano-aluminum nano-copper) nano-metal oxide particles (nano-alumina nano-copper oxide) were as additives form a composite film with improved pro...

Conductive microneedle patches based on carbon nanoparticle composites in which cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) or polystyrene (PS) acted as a binder were investigated. The electrochemical properties of the composite system assessed using ferrocyanide redox probe and compared with screen printed electrodes. Preliminary investigations biodegradability conducted influence soil interment by elec...

Cellulose-based materials are widely used in a number of important applications (e.g. paper, wood, textiles). Additional developments are suggested by the growing interest for natural fibre-based composite and nanocomposite materials. The motivation is not only in the economic and ecological benefits, but is also related to advantageous properties and characteristics. The objective of this thes...
