Abstract If optical probes with different sensitivity could be performed simultaneously in their hard states (e.g., film), soft gel), and solution states, sensing accuracy enhanced due to the highly mutual calibration. The biomass of cellulose nanocrystals is less compatible commonly used organo‐fluorescent dyes require chemical modification improve application performance, but this leads less‐effective material cost. In work, depending on electrostatic attractions between negatively charged polymer matrix cationic dyes, (CNCs)‐based emissive membranes were prepared by vacuum filtration method. Then, resulting materials transformed into hydrogels, or dispersed water solutions, further absorbed commercially available spheres filter papers, devices states. It worth mentioning that preparation process does not addition organic dispersants, thus greatly reducing Finally, behaviors toward several important stimuli, such as temperature, pollutants like Cr (VI) pH changes, successfully carried out. Overall, our research works highlighted a processable way fabricate fluorescent, water‐dispersible, portable, long‐time‐storable, cost‐effective sensors meet versatile requirements.

Abstract In nature, the ability to regulate and transmit color signals is fundamental adaptive survival of many organisms. A key aspect this adaptability autonomous detection chromatic changes in color‐displaying structures, facilitating precise matching with environmental stimuli. However, conventional mechanochromic materials rely on a single mechanical force feedback channel, lacking continuously monitor their state real‐time. work, novel approach presented that integrates ZnS@SiO 2 photonic crystals LiCl into TEMPO‐Oxidized cellulose nanofibers‐polyacrylamide hydrogel matrix (PAM‐TOCNF hydrogel), which successfully endow conductivity variation hydrogel. This system mimics chameleonic mechanism by coupling ion conduction achieve responsive real‐time process monitoring. These findings establish new paradigm for optoelectronic systems stimulus‐responsive capabilities, paving way future advancements bio‐inspired, technologies.

Stretchable Laminates with Tunable Structural Colors from Layered Stacks of Elastomeric, Ionic, and Natural Polymers

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 31, 2025

Natural polymers such as plant-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are renowned for color iridescence due to their internal helical organization, but they show modest stretchability and bending abilities, because of the brittle nature highly crystalline needlelike nanocrystals. Herein, we report stretchable composite materials built from these branched ionic (bIPs) with terminal amine-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) stacked between elastomeric layers. These layered composites preserve high mechanical polyurethane outer layers up 150%. Furthermore, toughness increased manyfold, sequential initiation arresting concurrent transversal cracks within reinforcing central nanocomposite layer. Moreover, vivid structural colors CNC organization preserved laminated ability respond humidity temperature. We suggest that laminates nanocellulose can be considered promising candidates demanding applications robust wearable sensors, flexible optical labels, photonic devices.

Cellulose Nanocrystals are a Renewable and Biocompatible Nanocarrier of Agrochemicals Directly to Plant Cells

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 8(5)

Published: Dec. 19, 2023

Abstract More sustainable agricultural practices are critical to meeting humanity's food needs while minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Engineered nanomaterials used as nanocarriers promise reduce the volume of agrochemicals required for crop production but concerns about nanocontamination products necessitate discovery naturally occurring alternatives. Here, plant‐derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) a “green” alternative man‐made economical delivery plants suggested. Using confocal microscopy and fluorescently labeled CNC, it is demonstrated that CNC can successfully penetrate plant cell wall enter cells without causing any negative effects on overall phenotype, genome, metabolome. The efficiency deliver chemicals through in vitro tests involving covalently conjugated with 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D). Plant culture experiments confirmed be 2,4‐D nanocarrier reduces growth regulators needed cultivate cells. This work creates new platform cyclical where extracted from waste direct crops, thereby reducing burden created by both excess herbicides.
