Many polysaccharides such as cellulose are known to have significant hydrogen bond networks joining the molecular chains, and yet they are recalcitrant to aqueous solvents. This review charts the interaction of cellulose with water but with emphasis on the formation of both natural and synthetic fiber composites.

2015年4月2日 · In this review, we gather evidence of cellulose nanomaterials’ beneficial role in environmental remediation and membranes for water filtration, including their high surface area-to-volume ratio, low environmental impact, high strength, functionalizability, and sustainability.

2021年2月1日 · Based on the application form of cellulose in water treatment, cellulose-based materials can be approximately divided into one-dimensional fibers, two-dimensional membranes and three-dimensional gels in terms of macroscopic dimension.

2022年12月1日 · Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are biocompatible and have excellent physical and chemical properties. Membrane technology should ensure the safety of aquatic organisms in promising water treatment processes, but the existing treatment capacities and efficiencies must be greatly improved due to the requirements of social development.

2016年12月1日 · Cellulose has a strong affinity for other hydroxyl-bearing systems, specifically for small molecules like water. In addition, it has a complex supramolecular organization with anisotropic microfibrils – stabilized by van der Waals interactions and by a network of intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds – joined into larger microfibril aggregates.

2017年9月19日 · Interactions of water with cellulose are of both fundamental and technological importance. Here, we characterize the properties of water associated with cellulose using deuterium labeling,...

2023年1月9日 · Cellulose is known to interact well with water, but is insoluble in it. Many polysaccharides such as cellulose are known to have significant hydrogen bond networks joining the molecular...

2025年3月1日 · Cellulose-based materials demonstrate significant efficacy in eliminating heavy metals, oil, microorganisms, dyes and other pollutants from wastewater. This review article provides valuable insights into the promising possibilities of cellulose-based materials as effective and sustainable alternatives for water treatment.

2013年6月19日 · In this paper, we studied the behavior of amorphous and nanocrystalline I α regions of cellulose when these two regions interact with water molecules. Further more, we highlighted the mechanism that governs their interactions.
