“…[15] The least read preprints are those published more recently. However, whereas most publications in scientific journal remain barely read and cited for years (i.e., 47% of the 783,339 papers published in 1981 remained uncited in the subsequent 16 years [15] ) the least read preprint describing the emerging green routes to nanocellulose [16] in Authorea accumulated 69 reads in three months since publication (Jan 5-Apr 5, 2022).…”

The benefits of publishing research papers first in preprint form are substantial and long‐lasting also in chemistry. Recounting the outcomes of our team's nearly six‐year journey through preprint publishing, we show evidence that preprinting research substantially benefits both early career and senior researchers in today's highly interdisciplinary chemical research. These findings are of general value, as shown by analyzing the case of four more research teams based in economically developed and developing countries.

“…Nanocellulose, chiefly in the form of cellulose nanocrystals, has been successfully used to develop mechanically strong and water resistant pectin-based composite films and composites, 13 suitable for the controlled release of important drugs such as hydroxychloroquine, 32 or even as biodegradable and biocompatible light lenses due to excellent optical properties. 33 Compared to expensive CNC, 34 however, CytroCell micronized cellulose is obtained in one pot, at negligible cost, directly along with the same highly bioactive pectin (IntegroPectin) 18…”

Added to grapefruit IntegroPectin in solution, the micronized cellulose CytroCell, coproduct of the IntegroPectin extraction via hydrodynamic cavitation, enhances the structural and thermal properties of the resulting cross-linked composite films. The films become strong but remain highly flexible as no transition glass temperature is observed, whereas the thermal properties are substantially improved. No organic solvent, acid, or base is used from the extraction of the pectin and cellulose biopolymers through filming their nanocomposites, thereby establishing a completely green route to a class of bio-based 2D films (and 3D scaffolds) with numerous potential applications in regenerative medicine, in tissue engineering, and in the treatment of infections.
