Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose, a tiny fiber with huge applications
Tiffany Abitbol,Amit Rivkin,Yifeng Cao,Yuval Nevo,Eldho Abraham,Tal Ben-Shalom,Shaul Lapidot,Oded Shoseyov +7 more
TL;DR: This work discusses the main areas of nanocellulose research: photonics, films and foams, surface modifications, nanocomposites, and medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Modified Cellulose Nanocrystals and Formation of Epoxy-Nanocrystalline Cellulose (CNC) Nanocomposites
Eldho Abraham,Doron Kam,Yuval Nevo,Rikard Slattegard,Amit Rivkin,Shaul Lapidot,Oded Shoseyov +6 more
TL;DR: Generated Ac-CNC proved to be an effective reinforcing agent in hydrophobic polymer matrices for fabricating high performance nanocomposites and to be a novel bionanomaterial for a range of multipurpose applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant exon-encoded resilins for elastomeric biomaterials.
Guokui Qin,Amit Rivkin,Shaul Lapidot,Xiao Hu,Itan Preis,Shira B. Arinus,Or Dgany,Oded Shoseyov,David L. Kaplan +8 more
TL;DR: The cross-linking of the recombinant exon 1 via the citrate-modified photo-Fenton reaction was explored as an alternative di-tyrosine mediated polymerization method and resulted in both highly elastic and adhesive materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bionanocomposite Films from Resilin-CBD Bound to Cellulose Nanocrystals
Amit Rivkin,Tiffany Abitbol,Yuval Nevo,Ronen Verker,Shaul Lapidot,Anton Komarov,Stephen C. Veldhuis,Galit Zilberman,Meital Reches,Emily D. Cranston,Oded Shoseyov +10 more
TL;DR: Res-CBD-CNC and CBD-C NC films exhibited long-range, uniaxial orientation that was apparently driven by the CBD moiety, in contrast to the multi-domain orientation typical of chiral nematic CNC films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insertion of nano-crystalline cellulose into epoxy resin via resilin to construct a novel elastic adhesive
TL;DR: In this article, a bio-nanocomposite comprised of NCC and resilin fused to a cellulose binding domain (Res.-CBD) is presented, which shows a 50% increase in the Young's modulus and a 20% decrease in the tan(δ) compared to pristine epoxy.
