Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuators for Radially Contracting Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
This work presents an Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuator that combines high‐performance electrohydraulic actuation with origami‐inspired folding geometry to achieve constricting radial actuation. This integration yields significant inner lumen constriction, alongside a gripping force capable of holding objects exceeding four times the actuator's ...

Fabrication, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of PLA/Chitosan Composites Reinforced With Sugarcane Bagasse–Derived Fillers

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Fiber treatment improved sugarcane bagasse by increasing cellulose content to 71.7% and crystallinity to 91.36%. Among composites, PLA–CS–UASCB showed the best overall performance, maintaining tensile strength and modulus close to pure PLA while delivering the highest antimicrobial activity, reducing E. coli by 20.28% and S. aureus by 28.33%.

Mechanistic Insights and Performance Advancements in Flow Capacitive Deionisation for Sustainable Energy Conversion

open access: yesElectrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

UV‐Assisted Direct Ink Writing of Fully Bio‐Derived Photopolymer Composites With High Cellulose Loadings

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fully bio‐based, cellulose‐reinforced inks are developed to 3D print structures via UV‐assisted extrusion. The inks flow easily during printing and solidify rapidly under light, enabling stable shapes and improved performance. Post‐print treatment allows tuning of strength and stiffness, demonstrating a sustainable route toward functional, plant‐based ...

Water Purification in the Bioeconomy: Nanocellulose–Cellulose Acetate Reverse Osmosis Membranes

open access: yesNano Select, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
A cellulose‐based reverse osmosis membrane for seawater desalination in which an applied pressure across the membrane results in freshwater, while a brine stream containing concentrated salt and impurities is retained and rejected on the feed side. Cellulose is a biopolymer sourced from plants (or fruits), hence the drawing shows the plant origin of ...
