A novel amine-based adsorbent for CO₂ capture from air was developed, which uses biogenic raw materials and an environmentally benign synthesis route without organic solvents. The adsorbent was synthesized through freeze-drying an aqueous suspension of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane (AEAPDMS). At a CO₂ concentration of 506 ppm in air and a relative humidity of 40% at 25 °C, 1.39 mmol CO₂/g was absorbed after 12 h. Stability was examined for over 20 consecutive 2-h-adsorption/1-h-desorption cycles, yielding a cyclic capacity of 0.695 mmol CO₂/g.

Quaternized cellulose fibers and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are attractive candidates for the development of new renewable and biodegradable materials. However, the etherification reaction, through which functionalization is commonly achieved, provides low efficiencies, limiting industrial interest in the modification. This work primarily aims to increase the efficiency for the quaternization of cellulosic fibers while keeping the fiber-structure intact.

Structural analysis of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films remains challenging due to the stochastic assembly of fibres and presence of nanopores. This limits our ability to link the film structures to their properties, restricting their commercial use. While X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) is a powerful technique to map the structure of traditional and commercial paper, there has been limited success in its application for CNF films due to the poor contrast between pores and material, making the reconstructed images difficult to segment and analyse.

Achieving effective interfacial compatibility between hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and hydrophobic vegetable oil polymers (VOPs) remained a significant challenge. To address this issue, we developed a one-component nanocomposite (OCN) based on hyperbranched CNF-grafted VOPs. Rigid precursor initiator poly (vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC) was first grafted onto the CNF surface via phase-transfer catalysis, forming a branched macroinitiator (CNF-g-PVBC) with chlorine contents ranging from 4.

The chemical functionalization of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) was carried out using 2-aminoethyl hydrogen sulfate as the reagent under various experimental conditions via a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S2) reaction. The functionalized CNFs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance. The results indicate that the chemical modification was successful, as evidenced by the presence of a band at 1540 cm, corresponding to the N-H bond of the amine group.
