Porous graphene oxide/carboxymethyl cellulose monoliths, with high metal ion adsorption

Effect of the oxygen-containing functional group of graphene oxide on the aqueous cadmium ions removal

“…3), the absorption bands at 1620 cm −1 (C C) [6] and 1363 cm −1 (C OH) [14] could be both seen before and after Cd(II) adsorption. The absorption band at 1730 cm −1 on the GO surfaces attributed to the C O stretching modes of carboxyl groups became shifted and weaker after Cd(II) adsorption suggesting some carboxyl groups on the GO consumed by sorption [15].…”

Cellulose nanocrystals reinforced environmentally-friendly waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites

“…Thereby, waterborne polyurethanes (WBPU) have gained attention due to their ability to assemble in stable particles in water dispersions by the addition of a covalently bonded internal emulsifier (Chattopadhyay & Raju, 2007;Nelson & Long, 2014). In this way, besides obtaining environmentally-friendly polyurethanes, water dispersible reinforcement incorporation such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is facilitated (Gopiraman et al, 2016;Kushwaha, Avadhani, & Singh, 2015;Mariano, El Kissi, & Dufresne, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014;Zhou et al, 2016). Cellulose is one of the most abundant polymers in nature, which can be obtained from different sources like plants, bacteria or tunicates that, attending to the applied treatments lead to diverse forms like fibers or crystals, from the macro to the nanoscale (Eichhorn et al, 2010;Hribernik et al, 2016;Kunaver, Anzlovar, & Zagar, 2016;Tuzzin, Godinho, Dettmer, & Zattera, 2016;Xiang, Mohammed, & Baharuddin, 2016).…”
