Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)In this study, we report the isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Isora plant fibers by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and their assembly on hydrophilic cellulose and silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) surfaces via a layer-by-layer ... -
Dry ice-mediated rational synthesis of edge-carboxylated crumpled graphene nanosheets for selective and prompt hydrolysis of cellulose and eucalyptus lignocellulose under ambient reaction conditions
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)Edge-selectively carboxylated graphene (ECG) crumpled nanosheets are of great importance in potential applications; however, their catalytic activity towards biomass hydrolysis is not yet highlighted. Herein, we rationally ... -
Electroactive and Optically Adaptive Bionanocomposite for Reconfigurable Microlens
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)This paper introduces an electroactive bionanocomposite based on poly(diethylene glycol adipate) (PDEGA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The bionanocomposites were made using CNCs extracted from cotton and by optimizing ... -
Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ... -

Newly developed biodegradable polymer nanocomposites of cellulose acetate and Al2O3 nanoparticles with enhanced dielectric performance for embedded passive applications
( Springer New York LLC , 2017 , Article)In this study, biopolymer nanocomposites of cellulose acetate (CA) and Al2O3 nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) were successfully obtained using solution blending method. The effect of Al2O3 NPs loading on the microstructure, ... -
Removal of heavy metals from wastewater by aerogel derived from date palm waste
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Cellulose that has been sourced from date palm leaves as a primary component was utilised. This cellulose served as the foundational material for the development of an aerogel composite. During this process, MXene (Ti3C2Tx) ... -
Settling behavior of fine cuttings in fiber-containing polyanionic fluids for drilling and hole cleaning application
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)For efficient drilling operations, cuttings transport within the oil and gas wellbore is fundamental. Inadequate hole cleaning results in many problems including reduced rate of penetration, increased torque, bit wearing, ...
