Recent Progress on Cellulose‐Based Ionic Compounds for Biomaterials

“…Biocompatibility is the ability of a foreign material implanted in the body to exist in harmony with tissues without causing deleterious changes, which is an essential requirement for biomedical materials. [44] Hemocompatibility is another significant property of biocompatibility, especially for blood-contacting biomaterials and artificial organs, such as artificial blood vessels, pumps, and artificial hearts. Cytotoxicity refers to adverse effects of a substrate on cell viability.…”

Nanocellulose as a natural source for groundbreaking applications in materials science: Today’s state

“…It is one of the most important natural polymers and a key source of renewable materials on an industrial scale [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Cellulosic materials with at least one dimension in the nanometer range are referred to as nanocelluloses [7][8][9][10]. These nanocelluloses combine important cellulose properties with the features of nanomaterials.…”

A sequential design approach for in situ incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals in emulsion-based pressure sensitive adhesives

“…Furthermore, in terms of functionality, CNCs have a low thermal expansion coefficient (Sheltami et al 2017), provide distinctive rheological (Buffa et al 2019) and optical properties (Lagerwall et al 2014), and provide exceptional mechanical strength (Lahiji et al 2010). These properties have led to the demonstration of CNCs in various applications such as drug delivery (Seabra et al 2018), biomedical devices (Carreño et al 2017), optical materials (Giese et al 2015), water purification membranes (Voisin et al 2017), and as modifiers/reinforcement for cement (Cao et al 2015) and polymeric matrices used in food packaging (Li et al 2013a), industrial coatings (Abd El-Fattah et al 2018), foams (Lavoine and Bergström 2017), gels (De France et al 2017), and adhesives (Kaboorani et al 2012).…”
