Nanocellulose hydrogels are highly hydrated porous cellulosic soft materials with good
mechanical properties. These cellulose-based gels can be produced from bacterial or plant …

Aerogels are nanostructured materials with low density, high surface area (> 150 m 2/g) and
open porosity (typically 95–99.99%). They are obtained by solvent removal from gels while …

The present review deals with recent advances in the rapidly growing field of aerogel
research and technology. The major focus of the review lies in approaches that allow …

Cellulose aerogels were obtained from purified rice straw cellulose fibres (CF) by applying
different extraction methods: the conventional alkaline treatment (ALK) and alternative …

Transportation and storage of vegetables and fruits, including berries, is increasing to meet
growing consumer demand for fresh foods. Ripening and softening of plant tissues may be …

Plant-based polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicellulose) are a very interesting option for
the preparation of sustainable composite materials to replace fossil plastics, but the optimum …

Cellulose based foams and aerogels are gaining interest as an alternative to petroleum
derived materials. The characterization of the internal void fraction, or porosity, of these …

Galactoglucomannans (GGM) recovered from abundant forest industry side-streams has
been widely recognized as a renewable hydrocolloid. The low molar mass and presence of …

Food packaging is one of the most important parts of the food industry, and polyethylene‐
based polymers have been widely used as food packaging films. In this study, corona …

Wood-based materials have attracted increasing interests due to the progress of wood
nanotechnology. In such cases, wood hydrogels fabricated by a top-down approach …
