AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dodecylamine interacts with reducing end groups in cellulose nanocrystals.
- Using solution-state NMR, researchers demonstrated a specific reaction that leads to the creation of glucosylamines.
- This method offers a sustainable way to functionalize bio-based nanomaterials without needing additional steps to make them more stable.
Article Abstract
The reaction of reducing end groups in cellulose nanocrystals with dodecylamine was examined. Using a direct-dissolution solution-state NMR protocol, the regioselective formation of glucosylamines was shown. This provides an elegant approach to sustainably functionalize these bio-based nanomaterials, that may not require further reduction to more stable secondary amines.

Implant-integrated drug delivery systems that enable the release of biologically active factors can be part of an in situ tissue engineering approach to restore biological function. Implants can be functionalized with drug-loaded nanoparticles through a layer-by-layer assembly. Such coatings can release biologically active levels of growth factors.

In the last few years, cellulose has garnered much interest for its application in drug delivery, especially in cancer therapy. It has special properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, high porosity, and water permeability render it a good candidate for developing efficient carriers for anticancer agents. Cellulose based nanomaterials like cellulose nanofibers, bacterial cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals and microcrystalline cellulose as delivery vehicles for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells are reviewed.

Conductive hydrogels are an appealing class of "smart" materials with great application potential, as they combine the stimuli-responsiveness of hydrogels with the conductivity of magnetic fillers. However, fabricating multifunctional conductive hydrogels that simultaneously exhibit conductivity, self-healing, adhesiveness, and anti-freezing properties remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, we introduce here a freeze-thawing approach to develop versatile, multiresponsive composite cryogels able to preserve their features under low-temperature conditions.

The effectiveness and safety of hemodialysis can be hindered by protein accumulation, mechanical instability of membranes and bacterial infection during the dialytic therapy. Herein, we show that cellulose acetate membranes modified with the low-fouling polymers (namely polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol), followed by the in situ reduction of different densities of silver oxide(I) nanoparticles, can effectively address these limitations. These improvements comprise the enhanced resistance to the protein fouling, improved antimicrobial capabilities against S.
