Cellulose nanowhiskers as a kind of renewable and biocompatible nanomaterials evoke much interest because of its versatility in various applications. Herein, for the first time, a novel controllable fabrication of spider-web-like nanoporous networks based on jute cellulose nanowhiskers (JCNs) deposited on the electrospun (ES) nanofibrous membrane by simple directly immersion-drying method is reported. Jute cellulose nanowhiskers were extracted from jute fibers with a high yield (over 80%) via a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system selective oxidization combined with mechanical homogenization. The morphology of JCNs nanoporous networks/ES nanofibrous membrane architecture, including coverage rate, pore-width and layer-by-layer packing structure of the nanoporous networks, can be finely controlled by regulating the JCNs dispersions properties and drying conditions. The versatile nanoporous network composites based on jute cellulose nanowhiskers with ultrathin diameters (3-10 nm) and nanofibrous membrane supports with diameters of 100-300 nm, would be particularly useful for filter applications.

Hybrid materials of core-shell particles and cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) were synthesized to produce opal films with increasing tensile strength. After the incorporation of CNWs into the processed particle films, differences in the mechanical and optical properties were noticeable, which stemmed from the adhesion forces between the cellulose and the particles' shell material. Two different particle compositions were compared, using polystyrene as cores, and either poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) or a copolymer of ethyl acrylate and 3 wt % of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as the shell material.

In response to the pressing environmental challenge posed by petroleum-derived plastics, the development of green plastics derived from all-biomass nanocomposites offers promising solutions. However, conventional nanocomposites often prioritize enhanced stiffness at the expense of flexibility. We introduce sodium alginate (SA)/chitosan nanowhisker (CSW) nanocomposites, derived entirely from marine-sourced all-biomass, to create ultra-strong and flexible green plastics.

A nanocomposite of tannic acid and cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW)-reinforced polysulfone (PSF) was used to develop a metallochromic nanofibrous membrane sensor for iron(III) in aqueous media. Tannic acid was used as an active detecting probe, whereas the CNW@PSF composite was employed as a hosting material. Cellulose nanowhiskers (7-12 nm) were obtained from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC).

It's currently a challenge to design a drug delivery system for chemotherapy with high drug contents and minimal side effects. Herein, we constructed a novel one-dimensional binary-drug delivery system for cancer treatment. In this drug delivery system, drugs (doxorubicin (DOX) and resveratrol (RES)) self-assemble on bacterial cellulose nano-whiskers (BCW) and are subsequently encapsulated by polydopamine (PDA) with high encapsulation efficiencies (DOX: 81.
