Stretchable composite hydrogels incorporating modified cellulose nanofiber with dispersibility and polymerizability: Mechanical property control and nanofiber orientation

Using Cellulose Nanofibers and Its Palm Oil Pickering Emulsion as Fat Substitutes in Emulsified Sausage

“…In fact, as a nanoscale reinforcer, due to its high Young's modulus, CNF provides good mechanical reinforcement to a variety of hydrogels. For example, an increase in the tensile strength of N-isopropylacrylamide hydrogels with the addition of CNF as a multifunctional crosslinker was reported in the literature (Kobe, Iwamoto, Endo, Yoshitani, & Teramoto, 2016). In addition, the nanoscale of CNF and a mass of carboxyl groups on its surface endow it with excellent hydration, which provides commendable thickening and emulsify effect (Gómez et al, 2016).…”

Synthesis, characterization, LCST-type behavior and unprecedented heating-cooling hysteresis of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) copolymers

“…The integral ratios of the signals at 3.6 ppm (−Si−(OCH3)3 and at 4.0 ppm (overlapping -CH− and -CH2− proton signals from the NIPAAm and TMSPMA monomer units, respectively) [15,16] were used for the determination of the compositions of the copolymers. It should be noted that the 1 H NMR signal of -CH2− next to the ester group in TMSPMA was not taken into account in several cases in the literature [17][18][19][20][21]. As shown in Table 1 and in Fig.…”

“…NIPAAm copolymers possessing functional groups capable to result in PNIPAAm containing thermoresponsive organic-inorganic hybrid materials have gained especially significant interest in recent years [1,2,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. One of the most versatile functional material platforms relies on alkoxysilane functionalities which can be utilized for either surface functionalization or as functional groups in polymers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The laters can be applied as building blocks for a variety of bi-or multicomponent polymeric or hybrid materials via suitable reactions, e.g.…”

“…The laters can be applied as building blocks for a variety of bi-or multicomponent polymeric or hybrid materials via suitable reactions, e.g. sol- Several attempts have been reported on the synthesis of copolymers of NIPAAm with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) and on their subsequent utilization mainly by sol-gel chemistry to prepare PNIPAAm containing hybrid materials [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Because the thermoresponsive property of such copolymers is critical in the light of their chemistry and applications, the correlation between copolymer composition, the applied conditions and their critical solution temperature (CST) are crucial aspects of the P(NIPAAm-co-TMSPMA) copolymers.…”

Preparation and applications of wettability-controlled fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomer/cellulose nanofiber composites

“…1–4,9 Especially, there has been considerable interest in CNFs owing to their great applications, such as high-strength lightweight materials, device substrates, textile, food packaging films, cosmetic, and medical materials. 10–21 From this point of view, it is of particular important to develop the CNF derivatives possessing a superhydrophobic characteristic. In fact, there have been some reports on the preparation of superhydrophobic CNF derivatives.…”
