Abstract Development of new sources and isolation processes has recently enhanced the
production of cellulose in many different colloidal states. Even though cellulose is widely …

Proteins are among the most important molecules on Earth. Their structure and aggregation
behavior are key to their functionality in living organisms and in protein-rich products …

Replacing the current mainly fossil-based, disposable, and non-biodegradable sanitary
products with sustainable, functional alternatives is an industry priority. Suggested biobased …

In the last decades, many studies have been conducted on new materials to meet a growing
industrial demand and to move scientific research forward. Superabsorbents are good …

Since last decades, nanocellulose has gained much attention in nanocomposite foams
owing to high stiffness and strength, renewability, sustainability and biodegradability …

Functionalized wheat gluten (WG) protein particles with the ability to absorb fluids within the
superabsorbent range are presented. Ethyleneditetraacetic dianhydride (EDTAD), a …

Protein-based porous absorbent structures can be processed and assembled into
configurations suitable for single-use, biodegradable sanitary materials. In this work, a …

Glycerol-plasticized wheat gluten was explored for producing soft high-density biofoams
using dry upscalable extrusion (avoiding purposely added water). The largest pore size was …

Natural, high-performance fibers generally have hierarchically organized nanosized
building blocks. Inspired by this, whey protein nanofibrils (PNFs) are assembled into …

Synthesis of superabsorbent particles from nontoxic wheat gluten (WG) protein, as an
industrial co‐product, is presented. A natural molecular cross‐linker named genipin (a …
