ABSTRACT Cellulose dissolution is important for various industries, including textiles, bioplastics, foods and pharmaceuticals, yet achieving efficient dissolution remains challenging. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional solvents due to their low toxicity, biodegradability and sustainability.

Abstract Textile production is an important industrial sector but also one of the most polluting industries and highly dependent on fossil resources and cotton for the production of fibers. The use of cellulosic fibers from local agricultural residues can offer a sustainable alternative for the current textile industry. In this work, an environmentally

ABSTRACT Nanocellulose is being increasingly used in biomedical applications because of its biocompatibility, mechanical robustness, tunable surface chemistry, and adjustable rheology. This review evaluates recent strategies for engineering cellulose nanofibrils, nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose into cell‐instructive scaffolds for skin, bone ...

Diabetic Socks: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Commercially Available Products
ABSTRACT Aims In recent years, various diabetic socks have been developed and introduced to help prevent diabetes related foot ulcers (DFUs). However, the question of which type of sock is most suitable for individuals with diabetes has not been adequately addressed. This review systematically explores the current evidence regarding the performance and

The impact of nanotechnology on textile coloration—A mini‐review
Abstract Coloration is a key feature in the textile industry that adds value to the final apparels. This coloration of textile products is done by conventional methods which involve huge amounts of water pollution and wastages of textile colourants. Several approaches have been taken to eliminate these issues by advanced dyeing methods, however, due to

ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Graphitized Carbon Fibers Based on Lyocell Precursors
Abstract For the first time, graphitized fibers from Lyocell cellulose precursors spun from solutions prepared via the solid-phase dissolution method in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide were obtained. Carbonization was performed up to processing temperature of 2400 °C.
