Colorimetric films were prepared by incorporating curcumin into a sodium cellulose sulfate/chitosan composite. The morphology mechanical, and water vapor properties of the films were investigated, and their practical use in pork preservation was evaluated. The formula with the same charge ratio of sodium cellulose sulfate and chitosan had the highest tensile strength (TS). After the addition of curcumin, the tensile strength increased, whereas the water vapor permeability (WVP) decreased. The colorimetric film showed distinguishable color changes between the pH ranges of 3-10. The colorimetric film packaging extended the shelf life of the pork samples by 4 days. Moreover, the composite films were able to effectively monitor pork freshness. In conclusion, curcumin incorporated into sodium cellulose sulfate/chitosan composite films may have great potential in food packaging.

Grapes are prone to softening, which limits their shelf life and suitability for long-distance transport. This study explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of the chemical preservatives gibberellin (GA) and the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on grape firmness. Enhancing grape quality, prolonging shelf life, and extending market supply were key objectives.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite hydrogels have recently emerged as promising candidates for soft hydrogel actuators. However, developing a facile and fast method to obtain multifunctional PNIPAM hydrogel actuators with simulating biological versatility remains a major challenge. Herein, we developed a fast-redox initiation system to prepare PNIPAM/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/TCT MXene nanocomposite hydrogel with multidirectional actuating behaviors and improved mechanical properties.

This study investigates the negative impact of climate change on water resources, specifically water for agricultural irrigation. It describes how to optimize swelling, gel properties and long-term water retention capacities of Na-CMC/PAAm hydrogels for managing drought stress of Sugar beet plants through techniques such as changing the composition, synthetic conditions and chemical modification. Gamma radiation-induced free radical copolymerization was used to synthesize superabsorbent hydrogels using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) and acrylamide (AAm).

The growing market for sodium-ion batteries has stimulated interest in research on Prussian blue-type cathode materials. Iron hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF) is considered a desirable Prussian blue-type cathode, but the incomplete electrochemical property of its low-spin iron sites hinders its further practical application. In this paper, carboxymethyl cellulose is demonstrated to have an appropriate binding energy through DFT calculations, synthesize Prussian blue in situ, balance Fe and water in FeHCF, and introduce Fe vacancies to activate low-spin Fe sites.

Mercury contamination of the environment is extremely hazardous to human health because of its significant toxicity, especially in water. Biomass-derived fluorophores such as carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative sensors that provide comparable efficacy while mitigating the environmental and economic drawbacks of conventional methods. In this work, we report the fabrication of a selective fluorescence-enhancing sensor based on sulfur-doped carbon dots (SCDs) using waste bamboo-derived cellulose and sodium thiosulfate as the soft base dopant, which actively complexes with mercury ions for detection.
