Journal ArticleDOI

Development and characterization of thin polymer films relevant to fiber processing

Junglong Song, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, dilute solutions of cellulose, polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon and polyester were spun cast onto gold and silica wafers to generate thin films of these polymers, which are commonly used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactive Cellulose Nanofibrils for Specific Human IgG Binding

Yanxia Zhang, +2 more
- 04 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: The effects of initiator concentration and thickness of poly(AMA-co-HEMA) layer on hIgG adsorption were investigated in the developed systems, which exhibited high signal-to-noise response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magneto-responsive hybrid materials based on cellulose nanocrystals

Tiina Nypelö, +5 more
- 30 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, self-standing films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and electrospun composite fibers with CNC and polyvinyl alcohol both with magnetic properties arising from cobalt iron oxide nanoparticles in the CNC matrix were fabricated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric cellulose nanocrystals: thiolation of reducing end groups via NHS–EDC coupling

Lokanathan R. Arcot, +4 more
- 10 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a mild asymmetric thiolation procedure was proposed as an efficient alternative to conventional reductive amination, and the adsorption of thiolated CNC onto gold surfaces as well as the viscoelastic property of the formed adlayer was investigated by using quartz crystal microgravimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Axial Ratio Nanochitins for Ultrastrong and Shape-Recoverable Hydrogels and Cryogels via Ice Templating

Liang Liu, +7 more
- 28 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: High yield (>85%) and low-energy deconstruction of never-dried residual marine biomass is proposed following partial deacetylation and microfluidization, which results in chitin nanofibrils of ultrahigh axial size (nanochitin, NCh), one of the largest for bioderived nanomaterials.
