Abstract:Cellulose-derived
materials could offer more sustainable
alternatives
for current single-use hygiene articles produced from nondegradable
fossil-based polymers. We successfully fabricated light processable
methacrylated carbon dot-hydroxyethyl cellulose resins and illustrated
potential applications in dye adsorption, antibacterial gels, and
wet wipes. Carbon dots were first produced by microwave-assisted hydrothermal
carbonization and the oxidation of cellulose. The obtained carbon
dots and hydroxyethyl cellul… Show more
