Recyclable nanocomposites of well-dispersed 2D layered silicates in cellulose nanofibril (CNF) matrix

Lengwan Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the properties of nanocomposites based on natural components that can be recycled for sustainable development. By combining 1D cellulose and 2D clay platelets, the nanocomposites showed improved nanoparticle dispersion. The resulting films demonstrated high ultimate strength and Young's modulus, as well as good optical transmittance, UV-shielding, thermal shielding, and fire-retardant properties, which were influenced by the dispersion of the 2D nanoplatelets.

Chromium removal capability, water resistance and mechanical behavior of foams based on cellulose nanofibrils with citric acid

Daniel J. Da Silva et al.

Summary: In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and citric acid were used to prepare a new type of porous foam material, and the effects of citric acid content and heat treatment on the foam properties were investigated. The results showed that increasing the citric acid content slightly enlarged the pore size and reduced the activation energy for cellulose thermal decomposition in the foam. Heat treatment only significantly affected the release rate of cellulose. The mechanical behavior of the foam changed after wetting. The foam exhibited a two-step mechanism for chromium adsorption and had suitable water resistance for applications as an adsorbent in aqueous media.

Structural properties of cellulose nanofibril foam depending on wet foaming conditions in Pickering stabilization

Shin Young Park et al.

Summary: Porous cellulose nanofibril foam can be prepared by stabilizing wet foam with a surfactant and drying it in an oven. The properties of the wet and dry foam are affected by the consistency of carboxymethylated CNF and the amount of surfactant used. Stable wet foams result in dry foam with spherical pores and low levels of shrinkage, while unstable wet foams lead to foam with severe shrinkage and large cavities. The pore structure and mechanical strength of the dry foam are determined by the shape of bubbles in the wet foam and the degree of shrinkage during drying.
