Article Abstract
Motivated by the quest for biocompatibility, we report on oil-in-water (O/W), high-internal-phase Pickering emulsions stabilized via complexes of mechanical cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and food-grade cationic surfactant ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE). The complexation of oppositely charged CNF and LAE can be held together by electrostatic interaction. Their effect on suspensions electrostatic stabilization, heteroaggregation state, and emulsifying ability was studied and related to properties of resultant interfacial tension between oil and water and 3D printing of emulsions. The Pickering system with adjustable droplet diameter and stability against creaming and oiling-off during storage was achieved resting with LAE loading. Complexes formed by LAE adjustment act as Pickering stabilizers and three-dimensional networks in emulsion system, forming a scaffold with elastoplastic rheological properties that flows above critical stress while, without any additional treatment, exhibiting the required self-standing properties for 3D printing. By understanding the properties of CNF/LAE behavior in bulk and on interfaces, printing edible functional foods of CNF/LAE-based emulgel inks has been demonstrated to enable regulation of oil release.

In the modern era, polymyrcene, a sustainable polymer made from renewable resources, offers a potential path towards the advancement of green products. Here, we successfully created and characterized the first-ever all-bio-based composite films using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) made from agricultural waste, polylactic acid (PLA), and polymyrcene. Environmentally acceptable substitutes for traditional polymer composites have been made possible by incorporating CNCs into the PLA-Polymyrcene matrix, which produced materials with improved structural and functional qualities.

The development of effective hemostatic and antibacterial dressings remains a critical challenge in wound management. We report the design and fabrication of novel porous composite hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), silica (SiO), and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) . The incorporation of SiO and ZnO NPs into the CMC hydrogel matrix resulted in a unique multi-scale porous structure, characterized by interconnected holes of various sizes, which significantly enhanced the hydrogel's liquid absorption capacity and mechanical strength.

Ionic conductive hydrogels show promise for flexible sensors in wearables and e-skins, but balancing mechanical strength with high conductivity remains challenging. Herein, a triple-network ionic conductive hydrogel based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was developed, synergistically reinforced by dissolved cellulose (dCel) and aramid nanofibers (ANF), with Al/Zn bimetallic ions serving as the conductive medium. Intriguingly, dCel was in-situ generated using the concentrated Al/Zn bimetallic salt solutions as the cellulose solvent, following the complete dissolution of the pulp fibers driven by the intensive ionic hydration of Al/Zn ions.

Biofouling often occurs simultaneously with fogging, presenting significant challenges to visibility, safety, and operational efficiency. The development of biocompatible coatings that offer both antifouling performance and stability under fogging conditions is highly sought after. A method to form multifunctional coatings is presented, utilizing a zwitterionic nanocellulose composite material that demonstrates both antifogging and antifouling properties, suitable for application on various surfaces.

In order to be able to administer efficient probiotic formulations, it is necessary to process the respective microorganisms gently into suitable dosage forms such as tablets maintaining their viability. In previous studies, the process chain consisting of fluidized bed granulation for life-sustaining drying of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as subsequent processing into tablets was investigated. Granules based on dicalcium phosphate (DCP), lactose (LAC) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as carrier materials were produced and tableted, and physical-mechanical as well as microbiological tablet properties were evaluated.
