Sequential fractionation and polyoxometalate‐catalyzed oxidation of lignocellulosic biomass improves cellulose purity and formic acid yield

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Lignocellulosic biomass is an important source of renewable chemicals and materials but its full valorization is necessary in order to achieve economic and sustainability goals. This study proposes a two‐step approach for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass combining solvent‐assisted fractionation and catalytic oxidation with molecular

The interaction of wood nanocellulose dressings and the wound pathogen P. aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic wounds pose an increasingly significant worldwide economic burden (over £1 billion per annum in the UK alone). With the escalation in global obesity and diabetes, chronic wounds will increasingly be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

Understanding Charge Storage Mechanisms in Flexible Nanocellulose/Graphite Battery Electrodes

ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.
Flexible nanocellulose/graphite electrodes that can sustain 180° bendability are investigated. The mechanistic insights into the charge storage characteristics of nanocellulose reveal dependence on the electrode morphology and nanoarchitecture. The development of inherently flexible battery electrodes remains a key challenge for modern wearable ...

Beeswax Nanoemulsion for Consolidation and Hydrophobization of Canvases

ChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
A beeswax‐CNC/EHM composite system is developed for the consolidation and hydrophobization of canvases. The beeswax nanoemulsion is prepared using a spontaneous emulsification method based on the Ouzo effect. The interactions between CNC, EHM and beeswax resulted in a stable and uniform layer upon drying, synergistically providing both reinforcement ...

Vanillin-derived epoxy-coated flexible cellulose nanofiber film for multifunctionality and energy harvesting applications

Results in Engineering
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a state-of-the-art sustainable material, often suffers from high hydrophilicity, flammability, and emaciated UV-blocking properties, hampering its broad growth in high-performance applications.

Valorization of Apple Pomace: Production of Phloretin Using a Bacterial Cellulose‐Immobilized β‐Glycosidase

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
This study presents a whole valorization of apple processing waste: phloretin is efficiently produced from phloridzin (abundantly found in apple residues), using a β‐glycosidase immobilized on bacterial cellulose in a biphasic system. Notably, bacterial cellulose is derived from fermentation of apple pomace sugars, making both the enzyme carrier and ...
