Manufacturing of bacterial nano-cellulose reinforced fiber−cement composites

Natural Cellulose Nanofibers As Sustainable Enhancers in Construction Cement

“…As their fractions increases, CNFs tend to form clumps, forming weak bonding interfaces that can promote stress concentration. The weak interfaces are detrimental to the mechanical strength of the cement pastes [45,46]. …”

Fabrication of 3D calcium phosphates based scaffolds using bacterial cellulose as template

“…Moreover, BC represents a component of many composite materials with different technological applications [4,6,8,9]; some examples are given further: BC/silver [10], BC/graphite [11], BC/chitosan [12], BC/poly(vinyl alcohol) [13], BC/SiO 2 [14], BC/cement [15] etc. Usually, starting from a 3D porous network of BC and following an in situ preparation approach or an impregnation procedure [16], composites with improved or completely new properties can be fabricated.…”

Applications of cellulose nanomaterials in pharmaceutical science and pharmacology

“…The lack of consistency in nomenclature has cost plenty of efforts to search, understand, and cross-check different materials. The terms that have been used include cellulose nanocrystal [25], cellulose nano-crystal [26], cellulose nanocrystalline [27], crystalline cellulose nanofibril [28], nano-fiber [29] nano-cellulose [30] nanocrystalline cellulose [31], cellulose nanofibril [20], nanofibrillated cellulose [6], nanofibrillar cellulose [32], nano-fibrillated cellulose [33], cellulose nanofiber [34]. The subjective use of different terms for the same material may lead to confusion, misunderstanding, and miscommunication in this domain area, Cao -eXPRESS Polymer Letters Vol.12, No.9 (2018) and therefore it is crucial to standardize the terminology.…”
