Cellulosic materials are especially suitable for use in flexible electronic products because of their light weight, good tolerance, flexibility, and biodegradability. In this work, cellulose nanofibril/reduced graphene oxide (CNF/rGO) nanocomposites are prepared and the thermal properties of the nanocomposites are analyzed. A supporting column and ...

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was used in an effort to enhance the mechanical properties of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and the blends were reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). The conventional and dynamic mechanical, morphological, thermal and rheological properties of the obtained composite blends were determined. The results showed that the me...

In this work, the structure-property relationship was evaluated in the synthesis of bacterial cellulose (BC)/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite aerogels in terms of both experimental and density functional theory (DFT) simulation. The molarity of HCl solution (0.01 and 0.5 M) and the presence/absence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were the ...

Interactions, organization and dynamics within phase-separated ternary blends of hydrophobically modified starch (HMS), sucrose and water are investigated using solid-state NMR and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Antiplasticization of HMS by sucrose is demonstrated by PALS and 1H NMR T1 measurements. Selective solid-state 13C NM...

Chitosan has been modified in order to produce nanoparticles with promising characteristics in diverse food applications, e.g. Pickering emulsions. Chitosan deprotonation and ionic crosslinking with tripolyphosphate were assessed in this work. Chitosan nanoparticles produced by these two methods were characterized according to surface charge, parti...

This research aims to coat Teriflunomide (TEF) loaded conventional nanoliposomes (CON-TEF-LIPO) with Chondroitin sulphate (CS) to produce CS-TEF-LIPO for the effective treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both CON-TEF-LIPO and CS-TEF-LIPO were produced, characterized and evaluated for their active targeting potential towards CD44 receptors. Cell...
