Multilayer photonic films based on interlocked chiral-nematic cellulose nanocrystals in starch/chitosan

Amin Babaei-Ghazvini et al.

Summary: This study investigated a new approach to utilize and control cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) chiral nematic structure as a biodegradable, intelligent material, producing films with potential applications ranging from UV protective packaging to biomedical uses. The addition of a CNC layer into the cross-linked starch/chitosan structure significantly decreased the water vapor permeability (WVP) of the produced films, with different WVP values observed for different helical pitches of the CNC layer. The outer layer of starch/chitosan also exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties against various bacteria strains, which could be beneficial for biomedical applications or antibacterial packaging.

Top-down strategy for bamboo lignocellulose-derived carbon heterostructure with enhanced electromagnetic wave dissipation

Shaoxiang Cai et al.

Summary: This study investigates the carbonization of cellulose and lignin, individually or in combination, and explores the differences in macro- and micro-morphology, electrical properties, and other aspects of the resulting carbonized products. The findings suggest that the fiber-like carbon structure derived from cellulose possesses high crystallinity and low defect density, while the graphite-like carbon sheet derived from lignin has high defect density and low crystallinity. The carbon heterostructure obtained exhibits enhanced polarization and moderate impedance matching, making it a promising candidate for electromagnetic wave absorption.
