“…Ultimately, extraction of cellulose from waste to produce hydrogels may have novel impact for solving under-utilized biomass as well as good prospects as biomaterials. Bing et al (2022) highlighted the deodorizing effects of sepiolite on odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originated from natural rubber latex films. The presence of odorous VOCs in neat NRL films and NRL/ sepiolite films were confirmed using GC-MS.…”
