Wood/wastes from invasive tree species Acacia dealbata and Ailanthus altissima were used to produce high-value added nanocellulose. Firstly, bleached pulps were produced from the wood of these tree species after kraft cooking. Afterwards, the resultant pulps were pre-treated by TEMPO-mediated oxidation (Acacia dealbata) or enzymatic hydrolysis (Ail...
We demonstrate a new approach to pattern functional organic molecules with a template of foams, and achieve a resolution of sub 100 nm. The bubble-assisted assembly (BAA) process is consisted of two periods, including bubble evolution and molecular assembly, which are dominated by the Laplace pressure and molecular interactions, respectively. Using...
It is highly desirable to develop self-healing anticorrosion coatings with enhanced antibacterial function to prevent the scratched area to be fouled or corroded in harsh environments. Herein, we report antibacterial self-healing anticorrosion coatings via the simple incorporation of the easily synthesized single polymer microcapsule system. Well-d...

Inorganic metal halide perovskites are relevant semiconductors for optoelectronic devices. The successful deposition of thin films of CsPbBr3 and CsPbCl3 has recently been obtained by Radio-Frequency magnetron sputtering. In this work we compare the morphological, structural and optical characteristics of the two materials obtained with this deposi...

This work focused on studying the physicochemical and antioxidant properties changes of varying molecular weight (Mw) chitosan-depolymerization products (CDP)-based films occurring after crosslinking by heat-treatment and Maillard reaction (MR). Based on color properties and browning index, an enhancement of films properties was observed after trea...
Improving wound healing by developing innovative dressing materials has been an important focus over the past few years in the biomedical field. In this regard, the current study focuses on developing new dressings based on acrylate-endcapped urethane-based polymers (AUPs). The materials have been processed into films and electrospun mats. Exudate ...

Fluorescently labeled cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were used to evaluate CNF leaching from paper according to standard safety assays for food contact materials. Enzymatically pretreated pulp was first labeled with 5-([4,6-Dichlorotriazin-2-yl]amino)fluorescein hydrochloride (DTAF), followed by homogenization to produce fluorescent CNFs of varying d...
In this study, the influence of the degree of crystallization and thickness of films was correlated with the photoelectrochemical performance of SrTaO2N semiconductor films for O2 evolution reaction under visible light irradiation. Oxynitride films were deposited on various substrates using the sputtering in Ar + N2 reactive atmosphere from a home-...
