Plant-based nanocellulose: A review of routine and recent preparation methods with current progress in its applications as rheology modifier and 3D bioprinting

Recent development of plant-derived nanocellulose in polymer nanocomposite foams and multifunctional applications: A mini-review

“…Cellulose-based materials such as wood, cotton, hemp and so on are the most ubiquitous natural polymer in the world, and are renewable, biodegradable, sustainable, non-toxic and environmental friendly [1][2][3][4]. Cellulose could be derived from many parts of cellulosic sources such as seed (cotton), wood, bast (flex, hamp, kenaf, ramie and jute), fruit (coir, lemon and banana), leaf (pineapple, sisal and banana) and stalk (sugarcane, bamboo, rice, wheat and water hyacinth) [5][6][7][8][9], and cellulose has been greatly used in our daily lives such as textiles, paper and housing for thousands of years.…”

Cellulose Nanocrystal–Fibrin Nanocomposite Hydrogels Promoting Myotube Formation

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] CNCs are mainly produced by acid hydrolysis of cellulose, while controlled oxidation, enzymatic and ionic liquids treatment also can help the formation of CNC. 25,30 Different cellulose sources and hydrolysis conditions endow various dimensions to CNCs. For example, plant-sourced CNCs present diameters of 5-30 nm and length of 100-500 nm.…”

“…For example, plant-sourced CNCs present diameters of 5-30 nm and length of 100-500 nm. 30 CNC-based composites are promising candidates for biomedical applications because of their outstanding mechanical stability, controllable morphology, as well as high biocompatibility and biodegradability. 22,27 Several composites associating CNCs with proteins, including collagen and gelatin, have been described, highlighting the ability of these proteins to improve the mechanical properties of the CNC gels.…”

Cellulosic fiber: mechanical fibrillation-morphology-rheology relationships

“…Rheology is the study of ow and deformation of matter under the in uence of an applied force as a function of time, which can re ect the relationship between the strength of internal structure and the external force (Karato and Wu 1993;Sun et al 2017;Taheri and Samyn 2016;Wang et al 2020;Xu et al 2017). Therefore, rheological behavior helps to precisely reveal the dispersion microstructure of the cellulose-based suspensions Quennouz et al 2016;Yadav et al 2021). Moreover, cellulosic ber has the excellent self-assemble ability, which can reconstruct a new ber network structure when the original structure was breakdown.…”
