Abstract In this paper, we report on a novel, environmentally superior tribomaterial with superlow friction of 100% cellulose nanofiber (CNF) molding. Based our experimental results, the CNF molding exhibited coefficient approximately 0.01 under lubrication fatty acid: glycerin monooleate (GMO) diluted poly-alfa-olefine. Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and hi...

Every year, over 8 million tons of crustacean shells are discarded. However, there exists an opportunity for valorizing the chitin and calcium carbonate part composition shells. Our study revealed reduces self-aggregation effects. It was shown that crustacean-based nanofibers alone or added to cellulose offer unprecedented reductions in viscosity even after drying produce foams impossible cellu...

Novel therapies are crucially needed for short bowel syndrome. One potential therapy is the production of tissue engineered intestine (TEI). The intestinal environment presents significant challenges to the selection of appropriate material for tissue engineering scaffolds. Our goal was to characterize different scaffold materials to downselect to that best suited for TEI production. To investi...

Carbon nanotube polymer actuators were developed using composite nanofiber sheets fabricated by multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) and poly (vinylidene fluorideco-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). Nanofiber sheets were fabricated by electrospinning method. The effect of flow rate and polymer concentration on nanofiber formation were verified for optimum condition for fabricating nanofiber she...

background: the aim of this study was to fabricate the poly caprolactone (pcl) aligned nanofiber scaffold and to evaluate the survival, adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of rat hair follicle stem cells (hfsc) in the graft material using electrospun pcl nanofiber scaffold for tissue engineering applications. methods: the bulge region of rat whisker was isolated and cultured in dmem: n...

In this study, the fabrication of nickel (Ni)-cellulose nanofiber (CNF) composite electroplating films was attempted using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized CNF as introduced with carboxy groups. As a result, co-deposition confirmed for both CNFs, former showed 82% improvement in surface Vickers hardness compared to plated film deposi...

In this study, electrochemical molecularly imprinted sensors were fabricated and used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA). Nanofiber membranes of cellulose acetate (CA)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (CA/MWCNTs/PVP) were prepared by electrospinning technique. After being transferred to a glass carbon electrode (GC), the nanofiber interface was further ...
