Emulsion formation and stabilization by biomolecules: the leading role of cellulose [PDF]
Emulsion stabilization by native cellulose has been mainly hampered because of its insolubility in water. Chemical modification is normally needed to obtain water-soluble cellulose derivatives.

Properties of Lignocellulosic Composites Containing Regenerated Cellulose Fibers
The aim of the paper was to examine the application of regenerated cellulose fibers as a reinforcement material in particleboard production. Single-layer, 10 mm thick panels, with the density of 800 kg/m3 were produced with addition of regenerated ...

Facile Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of Cellulose-Chitosan-Hydroxyapatite Composite Material: A Potential Material for Bone Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is often used as a bone-implant material because it is biocompatible and osteoconductive. However, HAp possesses poor rheological properties and it is inactive against disease-causing microbes.

Morphology of cellulose objects regenerated from cellulose-N-methylmorpholine N-oxide-water solutions [PDF]
International audienceThe precipitation in aqueous media of cellulose from solutions in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) hydrates is an important stage in the process of manufacturing of fibres, films and other cellulose objects.

Chitosan-cellulose Composite Materials: Preparation, Characterization and Application for Removal of Microcystin [PDF]
We developed a simple and one-step method to prepare biocompatible composites from cellulose (CEL) and chitosan (CS). [BMIm+Cl−], an ionic liquid (IL), was used as a green solvent to dissolve and prepare the [CEL + CS] composites. Since majority (\u3e88%)
