Superhydrophobic modification of cellulosic paper-based materials: Fabrication, properties, and versatile applications

Cellulose/Grape-Seed-Extract Composite Films with High Transparency and Ultraviolet Shielding Performance Fabricated from Old Cotton Textiles

“…Biomass resources, including the three categories of animals, plants and microbes resources, are ubiquitous in our planet [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Biomass-based materials, such as collagen-based materials [ 21 , 22 ], starch-based materials [ 23 , 24 ], chitosan-based materials [ 25 , 26 ], chitin-based materials [ 27 , 28 ], cellulose-based materials [ 29 , 30 ] and so on, derived from these biomass resources have been developed rapidly and display wide applications in various fields, such as textiles and agriculture, pharmaceutical/biomedicine, food packaging, energy and water treatment. As the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharide in nature, cellulose has attracted more and more attention recently and the commercialization of viscose fibers, cellophane (regenerated cellulose film) and celluloids (cellulose nitrate) have been recognized as significant alternatives to non-degradable plastics [ 7 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

ZnO nano grafted chitin–chitosan based hybrid composite coated super hydrophobic filter paper for water flow cleaning and oil–water separation applications

“…2 Still an efficient, environment-friendly, and sustainable oil/water separation technology is essential because oil spills and oily sewage cause serious damage to aquatic eco-systems and marine wildlife. 3,4 For a number of years, superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles (WCAs) greater than 1501 and water sliding angles (WSAs) lower than 101 have been studied. [5][6][7] Superhydrophobic materials have a wide potential in various applications, such as self-cleaning, anti-fogging, anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and anti-fouling properties, which attract the attention of many researchers.…”

“…The super hydrophobic conversion of cellulose-based papers and their materials are expected to find value-added applications, which are highly desirable and warranted. [22][23][24][25] Hence, the main content of this article is to develop superhydrophobic cellulose-based papers and their materials due to their low cost, porous, and microfiber-based construction (FP) for advanced applications.…”

CdO-Nanografted Superhydrophobic Hybrid Polymer Composite-Coated Cotton Fabrics for Self-Cleaning and Oil/Water Separation Applications

“…8−14 An efficient, durable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable oil/water separation technology is still needed to address the problems related to oil spills and oily wastewater causing serious damage to aquatic ecosystems and marine life. 15,16 Superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties for widespread applications such as self-cleaning, antiglazing, antifouling, and hydrodynamic drag reduction. 17 However, chemical corrosion, scratches, and wear inevitably affect the superhydrophobic surface properties in practical applications and can lead to the loss of superhydrophobicity.…”
