Monolithic cellulose nanofibrils (CNF)-silica composite aerogels were successfully prepared
by immersing CNF aerogels into a silica solution in a two-step sol-gel process (initial …

This research study reports the formation of flexible and multifunctional organic-inorganic
hybrid membranes (BC-SiO 2-TiO 2/Ag) based on bacterial cellulose (BC) that contain …

Polysaccharides/silica hybrids prepared through sol-gel reaction have been studied as a
model for new generation of hybrid materials for a virtually unlimited number of applications …

Injuries and diseases of the skin require accurate treatment using nontoxic and noninvasive
biomaterials, which aim to mimic the natural structures of the body. There is a strong need to …

Many microbes attach to surfaces and produce a complex matrix of polymers surrounding
their cells, forming a biofilm. In biofilms, microbes are much better protected against hostile …

Noise pollution, which has become a major environmental issue in urban areas, can be
minimized using acoustic insulation derived from cellulose–silica aerogel. The raw materials …

Nanocapsules and nanoparticles play an essential role in the delivery of pharmaceutical
agents in modern era, since they can be delivered in specific tissues and cells. Natural …

A thermally stable and hydrophobic cellulose nanofibril (CNF)–silica composite aerogel was
prepared by simply immersing the CNF aerogel into the silica sol with different tetraethyl …

The goal of this paper was to synthesize a new family of composites starting from mineral
binder powders and biocellulose membranes, with applications in endodontics. An …

The envelope structure with high light transmittance accounts for an increasing proportion of
building energy consumption, which is one of the shortcomings of energy conservation and …
