Cellulose Nanofiber Biotemplated Palladium Composite Aerogels [PDF]

Molecules, 2018
Noble metal aerogels offer a wide range of catalytic applications due to their high surface area and tunable porosity. Control over monolith shape, pore size, and nanofiber diameter is desired in order to optimize electronic conductivity and mechanical integrity for device applications.

Preparation of cyanobacteria-enhanced poly(vinyl)alcohol-based films with resistance to blue-violet light / red light and water.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The harmful cyanobacteria blooms which usually form in spring and summer, cause global eutrophication of freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems. This study tried to utilize cyanobacteria as a raw material to produce biological poly(vinyl)alcohol-based ...

Interactions between nanofibers in fiber-surfactant suspensions: Theory of corresponding distances [PDF]

, 2014
We present the theory of corresponding distances for the interactions mediated by soft nano- structures in fibrous materials. These fibre-soft-fibre interactions are important for the design of fibrous materials as well as for the critical problem of ...
