Hydrogels are polymer networks infiltrated with water. Many biological hydrogels in animal
bodies such as muscles, heart valves, cartilages, and tendons possess extreme mechanical …

Electrically conducting polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and their
derivatives (mainly aniline oligomer and poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) with good …

Bacterial cellulose (BC), with non-toxicity, high purity, and biocompatibility, has been
considered as a versatile candidate for various biomedical applications. Recently, the …

Nanocellulose has generated a great deal of interest as a source of nanometer-sized
reinforcement, because of its good mechanical properties. In the last few years …

It is a challenging task to realize the vision of hierarchically structured nanomaterials for
large‐scale applications. Herein, the biomaterial wood as a large‐scale biotemplate for …

Nanocelluloses are anisotropic nanoparticles of semicrystalline assemblies of glucan
polymers. They have great potential as renewable building blocks in the materials platform …

There is an emerging quest for lightweight materials with excellent mechanical properties
and economic production, while still being sustainable and functionalizable. They could form …

This review article was prompted by a remarkable growth in the number of scientific
publications dealing with the use of nanocellulose (especially nanofibrillated cellulose …

Membrane technology remains the most energy‐efficient process for removing contaminants
(micrometer‐size particles to angstrom‐size hydrated ions) from water. However, the current …

Brittleness has hindered commercialization of cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films. The use of
synthetic polymers and plasticizers is a known detour that impairs biodegradability and …
