Most technologies to produce multifunctional paper involved the defect of poor uniformity and stability. Herein, a high stability multi-functional cellulose-based paper was developed via a multiple chemical modification derived from waste bagasse. Firstly, the acetoacetyl groups was anchored on the surface of bagasse cellulose fibers by a heterogeneous transesterification. Then, paper was made based on these modified fibers. The fluorophore and gentamicin sulfate (Gen) were bonded in-situ to the paper through Hantzsch reaction and the form of enamine bond, respectively. The resulting paper exhibited excellent multifunctional properties, such as fluorescence property, antibacterial property and hydrophobic property. These properties are very stable to external environments. In addition, relatively mild surface modification has no obvious effect on fibers and shows similar whiteness and stiffness properties as that of the CAA paper. Thus, these novel functional papers held great potential for many fields such as food packaging, anti-counterfeiting, and other specialty papers.

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.

Stay-green sorghum varieties are known for their drought resistance and ability to retain green biomass during grain filling, making them crucial for sustainable agriculture in arid regions. However, there is limited information on their stover yield (SY) and nutritional quality when both grain and forage are harvested. This study assessed five stay-green sorghum varieties at the Bako Agricultural Research Centre using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

The applicability of cellulose and its derivatives is greatly depends on their attributes such as aspect ratio, morphology, surface chemistry, crystallinity, as well as their thermal and mechanical properties. However, these attributes can alter according to the utilized raw material, size classifications, extraction techniques, or fibrillation methods. Among these, the effect of raw material particle size on cellulose properties has received limited attention in scientific studies.

The discontinuous fiber reinforced hydrogels are easy to fail due to the fracture of the fiber matrix during load-bearing. Here, we propose a novel strategy based on the synergistic reinforcement of interconnected natural fiber networks at multiple scales to fabricate hydrogels with extraordinary mechanical properties. Specifically, the P(AA-AM)/Cel (P(AA-AM), poly(acrylic acid-acrylamide); Cel, cellulose) hydrogel is synthesized by copolymerizing AA and AM on a substrate of paper with an interconnected hollow cellulose microfiber network.
