"Cellulosic plant fibers are good reinforcing materials for composites because they are cheap, light weight, and exhibit good mechanical properties. The isolation of the crystalline portion exposes the stable hydrogen bond network that can form intermolecular bonding with other matrices, such as starch, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan, among others. Sundried and undried sayote (Sechium edule) vines, of varying degrees of maturity, were subjected to uniform chemomechanical extraction procedures to obtain crystalline fibers. The chemo-mechanically extracted fibers were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). DSC thermograms revealed that the sun-dried and mature sample exhibited the narrowest endotherm, indicating the presence of fewer amorphous structures. FTIR spectra showed that the numbers of functional groups present in the fiber samples decreased with increasing degree of maturity. SEM micrographs reveal that the mature portion of the sayote vine had more fibrous and orderly features, compared to the samples extracted from the younger and intermediate portions. Further, chemo-mechanical extraction and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of fibers from mature, sun-dried sayote vines also revealed a relative crystallinity index of the extracted fiber of 65%. The fiber yield from the mature portion of the vine was 9%. Sayote (Sechium edule) vine can be a promising source of crystalline fibers for composite fabrication."

"The development of novel routes for the production of functional textiles is an urgent need. Natural dyes are a safe and sustainable choice for the colouration of textiles. To achieve the colouration of textiles with natural dyes, mordanting methods have been highly explored; the present work targets the functional natural dyeing of cotton by the in-situ development of azoic dye. The paper discusses a new application approach of a novel natural dye (derived from conical prickles of Bombax ceiba bark) to cotton using mosquito repellent ethyl anthranilate. The dye obtained from the extract of Bombax ceiba bark conical prickles (CPBCE) was further converted into azoic dye by reacting it with diazotised ethyl anthranilate. The developed coloured cotton fabric was endowed with mosquito repellence, antibacterial action, and UV protection. The colouration properties and fastness of dyed samples were examined using standard methods. Moreover, the dyed samples were also characterised using TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. Thus, 100% mosquito repellent properties, good antibacterial protection, and excellent UV protection were imparted to cotton."

"Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is a by-product of the sugar industry, with approximately 1.9 billion tonnes produced yearly. The sugar industry produces a huge quantity of bagasse during the manufacture of sugar from sugarcane, which has a negative environmental impact, triggering environmental pollution. In this work, chemically purified cellulose (CPC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were very effectively extracted from sugarcane bagasse by the acid-hydrolysis method. The obtained CNCs had a rod-like shape, with a diameter in the range of 2-7 nm, and were used to form a CNC-ZnS nanocomposite. The CNCs were seen to be less agglomerated, and the CNC-ZnS nanocomposite was further tested in an antibacterial study using the agar well diffusion method. The synthesized materials were characterized using a number of analytical techniques. The results demonstrated an enhanced antibacterial property of the CNC-ZnS nanocomposite."

"Biochar (BioC) production from biomass is attractive due to its low cost and relevant physicochemical characteristics. Within this context, the objective of the present work was to produce BioC from cellulose of Pinus elliotti, with different pyrolysis parameters, intended for use in CO2 adsorption from the atmosphere. As main results, the produced BioC presented a porous structure, with a fibrous characteristic, due to the raw material used (cellulose). Also, the biochar prepared at 800 °C (P800) presented higher specific surface area and total pore volume than that prepared at 600 °C (P600), due to the higher pyrolysis temperature applied. On the other hand, P600 presented a higher conversion of cellulose to BioC. Due to these characteristics, P800 presented greater ability to adsorb CO2. Thus, a potential use for BioC was identified in this work."

"The development of sustainable materials in medical treatment for the controlled release of drugs has generated interest in the field in view of the environmental and energy challenges faced during the continuous production of materials in the sector. In the present study, the potential use of sponges based on combinations of three types of starch (corn, wheat, and rice starch) with poly(vinyl alcohol) was investigated to evaluate their morphological properties, swelling ratio, in vitro biodegradation, antibacterial activity, hemolysis, and blood clotting index. The synthesis process is based on a cost-effective method for wide application in the medical industry, yielding sponges with a high swelling index of up to 8 times the original volume. A slight antibacterial activity was also observed when rice and corn starch were used. In addition, different morphological and physical properties were observed depending on the type of starch added to the formulation, allowing a variety of responses to treatment requirements, depending on factors such as the duration of treatment and the patient’s blood characteristics in terms of clot formation or immune response."

"The development of easily administered targeted delivery for vaginal candidiasis is an area of active research. Challenges emerge from the specific conditions that may not permit enough time for the dosage form to reside on the infected area. Herein, we propose to develop films based on cellulose derivatives for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis. Gels of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) (F1), equal combination of Na-CMC and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) (F2) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) (F3) were prepared and loaded with nystatin (NYS). The resultant gels were dried using solvent casting and characterized to detect glass transition temperature (Tg), mechanical properties, mucoadhesion, inhibition of candida growth toxicity on human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK) cells and drug release. Tg was affected by the polymer type and was found to be highest in F2, where equal ratios of HEC and Na-CMC were used. Mucoadhesion was highest in F1 (Na-CMC) films. The films showed moderate toxicity. The zone of inhibition was observed for the three formulations. Drug release was affected by the polymer type and was complete after 8 h in F2. The findings allowed concluding that the cellulose derivative based films were successfully prepared and were efficient in allowing the drug to elute and minimizing the growth of candida."

"Stabilized silver nanoparticles were obtained in the presence of a reducing agent – NaBH4 and a stabilizer – methylcellulose, at 40 °C and pH = 5.35-11. The stabilizing role of the polymer is shown, as it prevents the oxidation and agglomeration of nanoparticles. It was found that the synthesis pH is an important factor in the formation of stable nanoparticles, which contributes to the regulation of their hydrodynamic radius. The results of UV spectroscopy established that the synthesized samples of silver nanoparticles achieve aggregative stability within 96 hours. Solutions and films of hybrid nanocomposites were comprehensively investigated by spectral, XRD and thermal studies. The diffractogram of silver NPs, corresponding to JCPDS No. 04-0783, was confirmed by the XRD method. In the studied pH range, the hydrodynamic radius and distribution of Ag NPs in methylcellulose solutions had a polymodal character, and an increase in pH to 9–11 led to an increase in particle aggregation. It was found that stabilized silver nanoparticles showed antimicrobial activity against microorganisms – Streptococcus salivarius, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Streptococcus mitis and Proteus vulgaris, with the formation of an inhibitory zone in the range of 15.0±0.2÷20.0±0.4 mm. The synthesized samples are of applied interest in the development of antibacterial drug systems."

"The study aimed to estimate the influence of temperature, time, and ultrasound application during desizing and scouring of cotton with -amylase and pectinase, respectively, on the weight loss, breaking force and color difference between raw and bio-scoured cotton, to obtain purified and hydrophilic cotton, with a simultaneous slight decrease in mechanical properties. Under the optimal conditions, determined by the application of Response Surface Methodology (time – 30 min, temperature – 59.4 °C, with ultrasound treatment), a weight loss of 4.97%, color difference of 3.86, and a breaking force of 730.22N were obtained. The bio-scoured cotton fabric was also characterized in terms of electrokinetic and sorption properties, chemical composition and morphology of the cotton surface by zeta-potential measurement, wicking and contact angle determination, FTIR and SEM characterization, respectively.

"Known for its sustainable properties, the usability of hemp instead of conventional cotton hybrid yarns for clothing was investigated by spinning hybrid ring yarns using conventional cotton, viscose-hemp, and organic cotton-viscose-hemp blends for the sheath and elastane and polyester (Lycra and T400) for the core in the yarn structure. Unevenness, yarn imperfections, hairiness, tenacity, and breaking elongation properties of the spun hybrid yarns were examined comparatively by statistical analysis methods. The findings revealed that sheath fiber type, number of components in the yarn structure, and blend ratio were influential factors on yarn quality. Using hemp fiber in the yarn structure slightly decreased the yarn properties, except for tenacity, in general. This situation was more visible in hybrid yarns, which have three different fibers in the sheath. Blending viscose and hemp fibers in the yarn sheath structure provided a synergetic effect, improving the weak properties of both fibers. These yarns had nearly the same tenacity values (from 12.98 to 15.47) as conventional cotton yarns (from 15.24 to 16.8), which could be explained by the fact that hemp fiber has a higher tenacity value (45 cN/tex) than other fibers. Moreover, these yarns had the highest elongation values (from 15.88 to 10.79) due to the good elongation properties of the viscose fibers (20%), compared to other sheath fibers.

Unevenness, yarn imperfections, hairiness, tenacity, and breaking elongation properties of the spun hybrid yarns were examined comparatively by statistical analysis methods. The findings revealed that sheath fiber type, number of components in the yarn structure, and blend ratio were influential factors on yarn quality. Using hemp fiber in the yarn structure slightly decreased the yarn properties, except for tenacity, in general. This situation was more visible in hybrid yarns, which have three different fibers in the sheath. Blending viscose and hemp fibers in the yarn sheath structure provided a synergetic effect, improving the weak properties of both fibers. These yarns had nearly the same tenacity values (from 12.98 to 15.47) as conventional cotton yarns (from 15.24 to 16.8), which could be explained by the fact that hemp fiber has a higher tenacity value (45 cN/tex) than other fibers. Moreover, these yarns had the highest elongation values (from 15.88 to 10.79) due to the good elongation properties of the viscose fibers (20%), compared to other sheath fibers. As a result, when the produced yarns were evaluated in terms of sustainability and performance, viscose-hemp-blended yarns had the optimum yarn properties.\"","PeriodicalId":10130,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose Chemistry and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47282345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
