“…The paper industry has started to use invasive alien plants to produce alternative forms of labels, as they are a growing environmental problem and have a significant impact on human health, directly threatening and affecting habitat structure, soil abiotic properties, and geomorphological processes, thereby significantly altering the chemical composition of the soil. Researchers working on alternative sources of cellulose fibres have found that invasive alien plants can be useful for the production of paper and labels [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Although N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) remains the most effective repellent against mosquitoes and ticks, concerns about skin irritation, rashes, and neurological problems in children have driven the search for natural alternatives. The aim of this research was to develop, manufacture, and test prototype stickers derived from invasive plant species in Europe. These labels contained a coating with encapsulated repellents made from essential oils to protect against mosquito bites and similar blood-sucking insects. Six samples of invasive plant species in Europe such as Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), goldenrod (Solidago gigantea), and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) were coated with two essential oil mixtures (of geranium, lavender, and eucalyptus) and were encapsulated on solid carriers for prolonged evaporation. Analysis of the structural properties (weight, thickness, density, and specific volume) were carried out on the coated label samples. Analysis of surface properties (roughness and porosity), capillary absorption, and a comparison of time and evaporation of essential oils were also carried out. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on the samples and the solid carrier with different mixtures of essential oils. The Japanese knotweed sample, coated with a blend of geranium, lavender, and eucalyptus essential oils, showed the highest efficacy and stability.

“…The potential to combine the different functional properties with microfiber properties could enhance the production of products with multilayer functionalities. The design and development of a multi-structured material can contribute to an innovative strategy for new applications [27]. An example that can be highlighted is the preparation of a multilayer product produced with facial paper materials and non-woven face masks for personal protection associated with the SARS-CoV-2 disease [28,29].…”

This work aims at the design and engineering of sustainable biomaterials based on natural fibers to replace non-renewable fiber sources in the development of non-woven delivery systems. Cellulose fibers were used as the main support to produce multi-structured materials with the incorporation of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) as an additive. A 3D carboxymethylcellulose matrix retaining a natural bioactive product, eucalyptus essential oil, (CMC/EO), with controlled release functionalities, was also applied to these materials using bulk and spray coating methodologies. Additionally, using a 3D modeling and simulation strategy, different interest scenarios were predicted to design new formulations with improved functional properties. Overall, the results showed that MFC provided up to 5% improved strength (+48%) at the expense of reduced softness (−10%) and absorbency (−13%) and presented a good potential to be used as an additive to maximize natural eucalyptus fibers content in formulations. The addition of CMC/EO into formulations’ bulk revealed better strength properties (21–28%), while its surface coating improved absorption (23–25%). This indicated that both application methods can be used in structures proposed for different sustained applications or a more localized therapy, respectively. This optimization methodology consists of a competitive benefit to produce high-quality functionalized biomaterials for added-value applications.
