“…In our previous work, we demonstrated the effectiveness of 1D cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as rheological modifiers for improving the 3D printability of MXene gel ink. 23 CNFs, with their high aspect ratio and abundant surface oxygen-containing functional groups, 24,25 can physically wrap 2D MXene nanosheets and meanwhile interact with them by hydrogen bonding, thereby forming a highly viscous CNF/MXene gel ink at a low solid concentration (8 wt%) for 3D printing. Moreover, other studies have also evidenced that various 1D nanomaterials, including CNFs, bacterial cellulose, carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, and manganese oxide nanowires, acted as intercalating agents to effectively inhibit the restacking of MXene nanosheets.…”

“…Nanocellulose can be produced from cellulose via various methods based on the material source and final intended application. These include chemical methods like acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, subcritical water hydrolysis, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation, and mechanical methods like grinding, cryo crushing, and steam explosion [1,13]. Acid hydrolysis, the most common and effective method of nanocellulose production, involves using diluted or concentrated acids to hydrolyze the amorphous regions of the cellulose [14].…”

Plant fibers have been studied as sources of nanocellulose due to their sustainable features. This study investigated the effects of acid hydrolysis parameters, reaction temperature, and acid concentration on nanocellulose yield from maguey (Agave cantala) fiber. Nanocellulose was produced from the fibers via the removal of non-cellulosic components through alkali treatment and bleaching, followed by strong acid hydrolysis for 45 min using sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The temperature during acid hydrolysis was 30, 40, 50, and 60 °C, and the H2SO4 concentration was 40, 50, and 60 wt. % H2SO4. Results showed that 53.56% of raw maguey fibers were isolated as cellulose, that is, 89.45% was α-cellulose. The highest nanocellulose yield of 81.58 ± 0.36% was achieved from acid hydrolysis at 50 °C using 50 wt. % H2SO4, producing nanocellulose measuring 8–75 nm in diameter and 72–866 nm in length, as confirmed via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated the chemical transformation of fibers throughout the nanocellulose production process. The zeta potential analysis showed that the nanocellulose had excellent colloidal stability with a highly negative surface charge of −37.3 mV. Meanwhile, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis validated the crystallinity of nanocellulose with a crystallinity index of 74.80%. Lastly, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that the inflection point attributed to the cellulose degradation of the produced nanocellulose is 311.41 °C.

“…As potential Pickering stabilizers, cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) [(i.e., cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), nanocrystals (CNCs), lignocellulosic nanofibers (LCNFs)] have gained considerable interest since the first report on the use of microcrystalline cellulose as an emulsifier due to numerous attractive features of CNMs such as abundance, nanoscale, tonality, renewability, sustainability, and nontoxicity. − The surface properties and morphological characteristics can be highly dependent on the sources of biomass and chemical modification during manufacturing process, and those properties could influence the stabilizing performance. , Lignocellulosic nanomaterials (LCNMs) have recently become an attractive alternative to CNMs in emulsion applications due to low cost, high production yield, and a simplified manufacturing process. The presence of lignin, which structurally retains both the hydrophobic skeleton (i.e., phenylpropane monomers) and hydrophilic functional groups derived from phenolic units with various functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, methoxy, carbonyl, and carboxyl), helps introduce additional characteristics to the emulsion system. − Homogenized lignin colloidal particles have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in stabilizing various vegetable oils.…”

The effect of lignocellulosic nanomaterial (LCNM) including lignin-containing cellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) on a diesel oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion was investigated with and without the emulsifier sucrose ester (SE). The O/W (65:35) emulsions were successfully stabilized by LCNFs with two lignin levels, while emulsions with CNFs exhibited large fiber flocs in the external phase only. High-lignin-content LCNFs led to a more uniform oil droplet size without formation of fiber flocs, whereas low-lignin-content LCNFs in emulsion revealed a wide size distribution of the oil droplets with intensive fiber flocs. The presence of SE significantly enhanced the stability of LCNM emulsions, reducing the size of oil droplets with a more uniform distribution and facilitating the dispersion of fiber components. The gelation properties, in turn, were markedly reduced by SE. The overall rheological properties were more dominated by the intrinsic characteristics of LCNM. Significant improvements in filtration performance with bentonite added to emulsion fluids were observed via applying SE into the emulsion system. The synergy between LCNFs and SE, along with the potential for diverse applications, opens a pathway for a sustainable emulsion technology toward greener, more effective, and economically viable emulsion systems.
