“…A single nanofibre has outstanding stiffness as well as good chemical and thermal stability. Over the last decade, NFC use in scaffold fabrication has gained significant interest, and this is due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion, high Young's modulus, high strength, biocompatibility, low weight, and renewability [76]. The NFC dispersed solution and hydrogel precursor have been cross-linked with a relatively facile and mild method for hydrogel scaffold for tissue engineering [77].…”

Biopolymers have been used as a replacement material for synthetic polymers in scaffold forming due to its biocompatibility and nontoxic properties. Production of scaffold for tissue repair is a major part of tissue engineering. Tissue engineering techniques for scaffold forming with cellulose-based material is at the forefront of present-day research. Micro- and nanocellulose-based materials are at the forefront of scientific development in the areas of biomedical engineering. Cellulose in scaffold forming has attracted a lot of attention because of its availability and toxicity properties. The discovery of nanocellulose has further improved the usability of cellulose as a reinforcement in biopolymers intended for scaffold fabrication. Its unique physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties offer some important advantages over synthetic polymer materials. This review presents a critical overview of micro- and nanoscale cellulose-based materials used for scaffold preparation. It also analyses the relationship between the method of fabrication and properties of the fabricated scaffold. The review concludes with future potential research on cellulose micro- and nano-based scaffolds. The review provides an up-to-date summary of the status and future prospective applications of micro- and nanocellulose-based scaffolds for tissue engineering.

“…Extracted CNWs using sulfuric acid generally exhibit low initial decomposition temperature (T id ) when incorporated with sulfate groups (Roman and Winter, 2004). As seen in Figures 3B,C, CNWs possesses the T id of only 148.3 • C, which is much lower than that of mechanically disintegrated cellulose nanofibers in range of 270-295 • C (Okahisa et al, 2018). In comparison, with increasing the GN contents from 0.1, 0.25 to 0.5 wt%, the T id values of CNW/GN composites are increased substantially by 66.4, 78.6, and 87.4 • C, respectively.…”

Cellulose Nanowhisker (CNW)/Graphene Nanoplatelet (GN) Composite Films With Simultaneously Enhanced Thermal, Electrical and Mechanical Properties

et al. 2019

Transparent cellulose nanowhisker (CNW)/graphene nanoplatelet (GN) composite films were produced via sonication mixing and solution casting methods. Such composite films exhibited improved thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. The material morphologies and microstructures were examined using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Strong interaction was detected when CNWs were randomly attached onto graphene sheets, as evidenced by SEM images obtained in this study. In particular, the addition of GNs into CNWs had significant effect on the thermal behavior of composite films. The melting temperature (T m) and initial thermal decomposition temperature (T id) of CNW films were both increased by 23.2, 29.3, 26.3 • C, and 70.2, 88.4, 87.8 • C with the inclusions of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 wt% GNs, respectively. The electrical conductivity of composite films was enhanced in a monotonically increasing manner with the maximum level of 4.0 × 10 −5 S/m detected at the GN content of 0.5 wt%. Their tensile strength was also improved by maximum 33.7% when increasing the GN content up to 0.25 wt% as opposed to that of CNW films. Such CNW/GN composite films can be potentially used in green anti-static and electronic packaging applications.

An Overview of the Oil Palm Industry: Challenges and Some Emerging Opportunities for Nanotechnology Development

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increase in the world’s oil demand due to the rise of the global population urges more research into the production of sustainable vegetable oilseeds, among which palm oil is the most suitable candidate as it is the most efficient oilseed crop in the world. In an effort to drive the oil palm industry in the areas of food safety and security nanotechnology could offer a sustainable alternative. However, the utilization of nanotechnology in the oil palm industry is still limited. In this review, we aim to encourage the researchers to fully utilize nanotechnology as an alternative solution to tackle the challenges faced by the oil palm industry. Moreover, we also aim to highlight the opportunities for nanotechnology development in oil palm-based related research. The major points are as follows: (1) Nanosensing enables real-time monitoring of plantation status and crop progression, including soil, water and nutrient management, early pest/disease detection, and the spreading of pests/diseases. The use of nanosensing conveniently extends into advanced breeding topics, such as the development of disease-tolerant plants; (2) Nanotechnology could be the answer for the development of integrated management of pest and disease. Active agricultural ingredients can be entrapped or encapsulated into nanocarrier systems to improve their solubility, stability, enhance their efficient delivery to site-specific targets, with longer shelf life, and consequently improved efficacy; (3) Valuable nanomaterials can be isolated and generated from oil palm biomass waste. The utilization of oil palm biomass waste could overcome the issue of the massive production of waste in the oil palm industry and palm oil mills, where oil only accounts for 10% of the biomass, while 90% is comprised of the generated biowastes. (4) Palm oil can be utilized as a green alternative as a capping and stabilizing agent in the biosynthesis of metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles. In addition, nanoemulsion formulations using palm oil in drug delivery systems offer advantages such as low toxicity, enhance bioavailability and solubility of the drugs, apart from being inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
