Cellulose carbamate (CC) was produced from kenaf core pulp (KCP) via a microwave reactor-assisted method. The formation of CC was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen content analysis. The degree of substitution, zeta potential and size distribution of CC were also determined. The CC was characterized with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry analysis. The CC particles were then dispersed in silicone oil to prepare CC-based anhydrous electric stimuli-responsive electrorheological (ER) fluids. Rhelogical measurement was carried out using rotational rheometer with a high voltage generator in both steady and oscillatory shear modes to examine the effect of electric field strength on the ER characteristics. The results showed that the increase in electric field strength has enhanced the ER properties of CC-based ER fluid due to the chain formation induced by electric polarization among the particles.

This study presents the development of a novel piezoelectric scaffold for bone tissue engineering composed of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), barium titanate (BT), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). PCL and TPU are considered advantageous materials because of their ease of processing, versatility in design, and ability to degrade over time; however, their inherent immiscibility poses challenges to achieving optimal porous structures. In this study, porous scaffolds were produced using gas foaming and salt leaching techniques, resulting in highly porous interconnected scaffolds exhibiting considerable elasticity that is suitable for dynamic cell culture while avoiding the use of toxic solvents.

Isocyanate-free polyurethane adhesives have attracted considerable attention as a promising environmentally friendly alternative. However, their progress has been hindered by insufficient bonding performance and weak solvent resistance, as well as the laborious synthesis processes involved. Herein, we successfully synthesized a high-performance lignin-based non-isocyanate adhesives (LNIPUs-G) through a one-pot strategy that combines the polycondensation of carbonate groups with polyether amines and aldehyde-amine chemistry.

Incorporating phase change materials (PCM) into three-dimensional porous network structures could effectively address the leakage problem. In this study, by investigating the effects of different cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) contents on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/CNF/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) phase change foams, a series of leak-proof, lightweight, and stable PEG/CNF/WPU phase change foams were synthesized. Utilizing CNFs as porous support materials could effectively mitigate the leakage of PCMs.

The advancement of bio-based materials derived from renewable resources provides a pivotal strategic approach to address the problems of environmental pollution and scarce fossil resources. In this study, a series of bio-based waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) with enhanced UV resistance, photothermal effect and corrosion resistance were prepared by using sorbitan monooleate (SP) and castor oil (CO) as vegetable polyols together with the introduction of sodium lignosulfonate modified of diethanolamine (DML). The WPU coatings of only 100 μm thickness, exhibited UV blocking rate > 99 % between 200 and 320 nm.
