“…To improve the interaction between the binder and fiber, chemical modifications (Dányádi et al, 2010;Guo et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2019) (i.e., ionic, electrostatic, polar, and van der Waals forces exerted on the fiber and adhesive) and physical modifications of the fiber surfaces (Song et al, 2010), which increase the roughness and specific surface area of the fibers, have been widely used (Adekunle, 2015). However, these modifications lead to the physicochemical damage of the fibers and thus the mechanical weakness of the product if the modification time is extensive (Baiardo et al, 2004;Carvalho et al, 2010;Favaro et al, 2010;Das et al, 2015;Pandey et al, 2015). Another approach to increasing the interaction between the fibers is to fabricate hairy and fuzzy fibers based on the adhesion of finely sized nanomaterials to the surface of the fibers (Juntaro et al, 2008;Pommet et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2012;Arévalo and Peijs, 2016;Fortea-Verdejo et al, 2016).…”

Because of the crisis of the petrochemical era, environmentally friendly natural polymers and related material processes are receiving great attention. Cellulose and silk are typical fibrous materials that consist of polysaccharides and proteins, respectively, and have excellent mechanical properties and high physicochemical stabilities due to their unique self-assembly-based hierarchical structures. In this study, highly stable high-strength silk fiber (SF)-cellulose nanofibril (CNF) composites were prepared by the hierarchical fusion of micrometer-scale SFs and nanometer-scale CNFs. This manufacturing process is cost-effective because the raw materials (SFs and CNFs) are used as is. It is an eco-friendly process because it does not require the use of organic solvents or toxic reagents. In addition, it is an energy-efficient process because heat fusion (120 • C) takes only 10 min. The results of the Direct Red 80 staining experiments confirm that up to 15 wt.% CNFs were added to the SF nonwoven. With the increase in the CNF amount, the nanometer-scale CNFs form a coating on the micro-scale SFs. At the same time, the CNFs form bonds with the SFs and increase the interfibrillar bonding strength of the CNF-coated SFs. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the SF/CNF composite and its stability in the water environment rapidly increase with increasing CNF concentration. In the case of SF/CNF15, the mechanical and impact strengths increase by 110 and 228%, respectively, compared with SF nonwoven without CNF. In addition, as CNFs are introduced, hydrophobicity of the surface and bulk of the SF/CNF composite can be imparted, thereby maintaining its structural stability in the water environment. This eco-friendly SF/CNF composite can be widely used as reinforcement preform of fiberreinforced plastics as well as for other applications in the fibrous composite industry.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most important chronic liver disorders worldwide. Adipokines are polypeptide hormones that participate in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Adiponectin is an adipokine that stimulates fatty acid oxidation in muscle and plays a role in the development of insulin sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the association between plasma adiponectin and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Materials and methods: This case and control study was conducted on 80 non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients and 80 participants as control group. Plasma levels of adiponectin and insulin were measured by ELISA kit (Mercodia Company, Sweden) and other variables were determined by standard methods. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 19. Results: Plasma adiponectin was significantly lower in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients than control (p-value<0.001). Whereas, subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease had significantly higher levels of body mass index, serum transaminases, serum triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, serum insulin and insulin resistance compared to control group (p<0.01). An inverse correlation was observed between adiponectin with serum transaminases, triglycerides and insulin resistance (P<0.05), while it did not correlate with lipoproteins. Conclusion:The results indicate that adiponectin levels are reduced in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Adiponectin levels are inversely correlated with liver transaminases and insulin resistance.
