Corncob is one of the industrial waste has cellulose content of 39.1 wt%, which makes it has high potential to be a raw material in the production of cellulose nanocrystal. Corncob was delignificated with 3.5 wt% HNO3 and NaNO2 10 mg, precipitated process with 17.5 wt% NaOH, and bleached with 10 wt% H2O2. Cellulose nanocrystal was obtained by hydrolysis using 45 wt% H2SO4. Corncob and cellulose...

In this study CuO nano sheets were prepared using the cellulose extracted from green synthesis (cotton) as a novel me project. Structural properties were examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Ultra Violet (UV-Vis). The optimum copper oxide peak was at 2 theta 〖35.44〗^°corresponding to (1 ̅11) while for the cellulose was 〖22.8〗^°correspon...

TiO2-grafted cellulose bio-nanocomposite (Cell.Com) was successfully prepared by combining modified cellulose and TiO2 nanoparticles via copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide click reaction. The antibacterial and cytotoxicity effects of Cell.Com containing cellulose, triazole ring and TiO2 moieties are reported in this work. The antibacterial activity of Cell.Com was investigated against gram positive ...

The design of cheap and safe antibacterial materials for widespread use has been a challenge in materials science. The use of copper nanostructures combined with abundant biopolymers such as cellulose offers a potential approach to achieve such materials though this has been less investigated as compared to other composites. Here, nanocomposites comprising copper nanofillers in cellulose matric...

Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

in this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by uv-visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm corresponding to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. transmission el...

an efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (csa) under solvent free conditions is described. the corresponding michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against e. coli, s. aureus and an...
