The ligands 4,7-diaza-2,3,8,9-dibenzo-15-crown-5 (L1), 4,10-diaza-2,3,11,12-dibenzo-18-crown-6 (L2), 4,10-diaza-2,3,11,12-di(4'-tert-butylbenzo)-18-crown-6 (L3) and N,N-di(methylenecarboxyethoxy) 4,10-diaza-2,3,11,12-dibenzo-18-crown-6 (L4) have been prepared. Partition coefficients and acid dissociation constants for these four diazadibenzocrown ether compounds were determined in water-chloroform. Their effectiveness was assessed in solvent extraction of Pb(2+) from aqueous solutions into toluene. Ligands L3 and L4 provide high selectivity for Pb(2+) over Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) in transport across plasticized cellulose triacetate membranes.

In this study, we prepared a new multi-functional intelligent hydrogel preservation film using soy hull nanocellulose (SHNC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan (CS), and anthocyanin (Anth) as raw materials. The physicochemicals of the hydrogel preservation film, and its role in monitoring the freshness and freshness of salmon was evaluated. The results showed that the monomers were crosslinked by hydrogen, ester bonds, and electrostatic interactions in the hydrogel film, and there were three-dimensional pores in the hydrogel film.

Lignocellulosic biomass-based plastics provide a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics by converting agricultural by-products into value-added materials, promoting a circular economy. This study investigates the development of thermoplastics from sugar beet pulp (SBP), a by-product rich in cellulose and pectin. A one-pot direct transesterification process was used to fully substitute hydroxy groups in SBP with acyl chains of varying lengths (C2-C10), achieving up to 96 % substitution.

Current conventional wound dressings used for wound healing are often characterized by restricted bioactivity and devoid of multifunctionality resulting in suboptimal treatment and prolonged healing. Despite recent advances, the simultaneous incorporation of excellent flexibility, good mechanical performance, self-healing, bioactivity, and adhesion properties into the dressings without complicating their efficacy while maintaining simple synthesis remains a grand challenge. Herein, we effectively synthesized hybrid hydrogels of cellulose nanofiber (CNF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and curcumin-modified silver nanoparticles (cAg) through a one-step synthesis method based on hydrogen bonds, dynamic boronic ester bonds, and coordinate covalent bonds.

Cellulose nanofiber/polyacrylic acid (CNF/PAA) hydrogel-based colorimetric sensor was fabricated for non-invasive screening of prostate cancer (PCa) via selective detection of sarcosine. The hydrogel was synthesized by photo-crosslinking of acrylic acid in the presence of CNF which acted as mechanical reinforcement and as color enhancer. The hydrogel exhibited a high aqueous absorption and high mechanical strength.

Manufacturing water-stable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films as an alternative to commercial plastics is a promising solution to address plastic pollution. In this study, waste walnut shell (WS) was used as a natural lignocellulosic filler, glycerol as a plasticizer, and citric acid (CA) as a crosslinking agent for preparing high-performance CMC-based bioplastics through a one-pot casting method. When WS content was 12 wt%, the obtained CWGA-12 after optimization exhibited excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength ≈18.
