Hybrid nanomaterials have shown great potential in regenerative medicine due to the unique opportunities to customize materials properties for effectively controlling cellular growth. The peptide nanofiber-mediated auto-oxidative polymerization of dopamine, resulting in stable aqueous dispersions of polydopamine-coated peptide hybrid nanofibers, is demonstrated. The catechol residues of the polydopamine coating on the hybrid nanofibers are accessible and provide a platform for introducing functionalities in a pH-responsive polymer analogous reaction, which is demonstrated using a boronic acid modified fluorophore. The resulting hybrid nanofibers exhibit attractive properties in their cellular interactions: they enhance neuronal cell adhesion, nerve fiber growth, and growth cone area, thus providing great potential in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the facile modification by pH-responsive supramolecular polymer analog reactions allows tailoring the functional properties of the hybrid nanofibers in a reversible fashion.

This study aims to explore the redispersibility of dehydrated nanocellulose with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) fractionated lignin as an eco-friendly and cost-effective capping agent, to cope with the challenge of irreversible agglomeration and thus loss of nanoscale of nanocellulose upon dehydration. The intermixing of nanocellulose and p-TsOH fractionated lignin was achieved using an aqueous ethanol solution as the medium and films of lignin-blending cellulose nanofibers (L + CNF) with excellent redispersing properties were obtained after facile air-drying.

This study aimed to develop eco-friendly multifunctional nanocellulose (NC) hybrid films with tailored properties for versatile applications including packaging and photovoltaics. Hybrid films composed by cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were produced at various mass ratio (CNC - 100:0 to 0:100). Montmorillonite clay (MTM) was incorporated (50 % by mass) into the CNC:CNF films.

Scaffolds are of great interest in tissue engineering associated with regenerative medicine owing to their ability to mimic biological structures and provide a support for a new tissue formation. Several techniques are used to produce biological scaffolds; among them, far-field electrospinning (FFES) process is widely used due to its versatility in producing promising structures similar to native tissues owing to the electrospun nanofibers. On the other hand, near-field electrospinning (NFES) has been investigated due to the possibility of creating scaffolds with suitable architecture for its use in specific biological tissues.

Humidity and temperature sensors are considered as hotspots for the next generation of wearable multifunctional electronics. However, it is still a notable challenge to realize multifunctional sensors with high-performance humidity response, excellent mechanical properties, and accurate temperature monitoring capability. In this work, a hydrogen-bond cross-linked hybrid network was constructed between carboxystyrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR) and hydrophilic carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (CNF) noncovalently modified silver nanowires (AgNWs).

Here, hybrid stimuli-responsive (exhibiting pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity) porous cryogels are engineered by embedding tourmaline nanoparticles (TNs) in a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) skeleton to generate high-performance CNF-TN-based airborne particulate matter (PM) filters. First, single-layer hybrid cryogels with varying TN contents (0-5% w v) are assembled, and the design principles for multilayered filters are established based on a novel sequential pre-freezing and freeze-drying technique. As observed, the embedded TNs transformed the CNF network into a more homogeneous, isotropic, and firm structure, thus improving the structural integrity and thermal stability of the assembled cryogels while maintaining their ultrahigh porosity and low density.
