From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp
This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating

Extraction of 2D Cellulose Nanosheets From Natural Cellulose
2D cellulose nanosheets can be selectively extracted from various natural cellulose via precise breaking of their structure using a zwitterion combined solid catalyst. This provides direct evidence of 2D arrangement and challenges the classical fibrillar model, prompting a redefinition of cellulose hierarchy.

Swelling Behaviors and Crimping of Lyocell Fibers
Swollen behaviors of Lyocell fibers in aqueous ferric sodium tartrate complex (FeTNa) solution and aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were investigated. The diameters of the fibers were about 4 times greater than those of the original fibers and the length shrinkages were 25% in the FeTNa solution. The observations of the swollen fibers in each solution

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

Environmental Impact of a Tooth Extraction: Life Cycle Analysis in a University Hospital Setting
ABSTRACT Objectives The global impact of health care on the human environmental burden is enormous, but medical care is currently not realising the potential of sustainable practice. Similarly, dentistry and the various forms of dental treatment are not provided in a sustainable manner.
