Journal ArticleDOI

Nanocellulose, a Versatile Green Platform: From Biosources to Materials and Their Applications

TL;DR: Nanocellulose has excellent strength, high Young's modulus, biocompatibility, and tunable self-assembly, thixotropic, and photonic properties, which are essential for the applications of this material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing ecodesign in silica sol–gel materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of these advances, focusing on the chemistry of silica, starting from the typical reaction involving tetraethoxysilane hydrolysis and condensation in hydro-alcoholic media in the presence of inorganic catalysts, the current alternatives in terms of precursors, solvents, catalysts and activation sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalytic acetalization of carbonyl compounds over cation (Ce3+, Fe3+ and Al3+) exchanged montmorillonites and Ce3+-exchanged Y zeolites

TL;DR: In this article, a one-pot acetalization of carbonyl compounds with methanol was carried out over a series of solid acid catalysts, and the catalytic results of montmorillonites were compared with those of H-Y, Ce, Na-Y and SiO 2 O 3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosurfactant-mediated one-step synthesis of hydrophobic functional imogolite nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, a new one-step synthesis involving a cheap, widely used, non-toxic surfactant, glycerol α-monolaurate (MG) and centimolar aluminium concentrations is proposed.
