In a manner of addressing challenges in scalable processing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites through extrusion methods, this study reports very clean approach incorporating cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) into TPU matrix, with no acid or organic-solvents usage. It involves mechanical deconstruction microcrystalline (MCC) nanoscale particles water and polyol bead-milling, vacuum dryin...

Rapid and accurate detection of phenolic wastewater from industries has created global concern. Herein, core–shell magnetic cellulose nanocrystal supported MOF (Fe3O4/CNC@ZIF-8) with robust peroxidase-like activity was synthesized tannic acid as modifier bridge. The peroxidase-mimic catalytic as-prepared Fe3O4/CNC@ZIF-8 further investigated using o-phenylenediamine (OPD) peroxidase substrates i...

Zn-Ni alloys have been used to decrease the corrosion rate of carbon steel substrates. These are in applications such as bolt coatings, threaded parts, swift valves for gas pipelines, aircraft landing gear, brake system components and others. coatings containing nanocrystals cellulose (CNC) obtained from sisal fiber (Sif), a natural polymer, were manufactured using electroplating technique. Obt...

Abstract This work investigated the extraction of spherical cellulose nanocrystal (spherical CNC) from cotton cloth waste (CCW) using sulfuric acid without ultrasound treatment during hydrolysis process, producing a yield 31%. The was first extracted through alkali, decoloring, and hydrochloric treatment. Then hydrolyzed 55 wt% with various to ratios, including 30:1, 40:1, 50:1 mL g − 1 . resul...

We decorated HS-functionalized cellulose nanocrystallite (CNC) films with monodisperse Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) to form a novel nanocomposite catalyst AuNPs@HS-CNC. The uniform, fine AuNPs were made by the reduction of HAuCl4 solution with thiol (HS-) group-functionalized CNC films. The AuNPs@HS-CNC nanocomposites were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), TEM, ATR-IR and solid-st...

For the value-added utilization of underutilized agricultural by-products, garlic skin obtained abundantly in the food processing industry has been tested as a new source of cellulosic materials. Cellulose microfibers (CMF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were isolated from garlic skin fibers by alkali treatment and acid hydrolysis. The crude fiber, CMF, and CNC of garlic skin were characteriz...

Polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites containing Cellulose Nano Crystal (CNC) were prepared via melt blending in a twin screw extruder. The evaluation of PE/CNC nanocomposites was studied for food packaging applications. The nanocomposites were investigated by thermal, mechanical analyses. Addition of CNC particle while having no effect on melting and crystallization temperature had intensive effect...
