AI Article Synopsis

  • The study synthesized cellulose carbamate using a solid-liquid phase method with cellulose pulp and urea, achieving a nitrogen content of 4.5%.
  • The resulting cellulose membrane displayed high transparency and effective separation properties, maintaining cellulose's original structure and thermal stability.
  • Tests showed the membrane effectively rejected dyes and had a 100% separation efficiency for oil/water mixtures, indicating potential applications in water treatment and biotechnology.

Article Abstract

In this study, cellulose pulp and urea were used to synthesize cellulose carbamate (nitrogen content reaches 4.5%) by low-cost and environmentally friendly solid-liquid phase method. Cellulose carbamate fluid was prepared by using sodium hydroxide aqueous solution as solvent. The fluid was regenerated and formed in a coagulation bath, and finally a regenerated cellulose membrane with high transparency and separation ability was obtained. The simple chemical treatment of cellulose not only greatly increased the mass fraction of cellulose dissolution (It has reached 15%) and retains the original crystal form and thermal stability of cellulose. The surface of the membrane was relatively dense, and the inside has regular microchannel. The factors affect the transparency and water flux of regenerated cellulose membranes were discussed by orthogonal experimental range analysis. The ability of the regenerated cellulose membrane to reject dyes was tested. The results showed that the rejection of methyl blue and congo red reached 100%, and the rejection rate of methyl orange reached 60%. The oil/water separation ability and the anti-pollution ability of the regenerated cellulose membrane were tested. The oil/water separation effect reached 100%. This membrane may have application prospect in water treatment, biotechnology.

Tissue regeneration after a wound occurs through three main overlapping and interrelated stages namely inflammatory, proliferative, and remodelling phases, respectively. The inflammatory phase is key for successful tissue reconstruction and triggers the proliferative phase. The macrophages in the non-healing wounds remain in the inflammatory loop, but their phenotypes can be changed interactions with nanofibre-based scaffolds mimicking the organisation of the native structural support of healthy tissues.

Background: Regenerating periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue is a vital challenge in dentistry that aims to restore periodontal function and aesthetics. This study explores a tissue engineering strategy that combines polycaprolactone (PCL)/collagen/cellulose acetate electrospun scaffolds with collagen hydrogels to deliver curcumin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles fand periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs).

Methods: Scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinningand collagen hydrogels incorporated PDLSCs and curcumin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (CURZIF-8) were developed using cross-linking.

Inspired by the initial mineralization process with bone matrix vesicles (MVs), this study innovatively developed a delivery system to mediate mineralization during bone regeneration. The system comprises nanofibrous chitosan microspheres (NCM) and poly (allylamine hydrochloride)-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAH-ACP), which is thereafter referred to as NCMP. NCM is synthesized through the thermal induction of chitosan molecular chains, serving as the carrier, while PAH-ACP functions as the mineralization precursor.

Industrial wastewater containing heavy metal ions presents serious economic risk to the environment. In this study, a novel compound of aminated cellulose with jeffamine EDR148 was prepared to improve cellulose's adsorptive behavior towards metal ions. This study undertook a straightforward and efficient cellulose modification through homogeneous chlorination in N,N'-butylmethylimidazolium chloride to produce 6-deoxychlorocellulose (Cell-Cl), followed by a reaction with jeffamine EDR148 and ultimately resulting in the formation of aminated cellulose (Cell-Jef148).
