Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Hierarchically Engineered Nanocellulose‐Halloysite Composite Foams for Integrated Thermal Insulation and Intrinsic Fire Resistance

Small, EarlyView.
Hierarchically engineered cellulose‐based nanocomposite foams integrate thermal insulation, mechanical robustness, hydrophobicity, and intrinsic flame retardancy. A multiscale hybrid network enables efficient heat and mass transport suppression, promoting char formation and self‐extinguishing behavior without toxic additives.
