Cellulose has attracted much interest, particularly in medical applications such as advanced
biosensing devices. Cellulose could provide biosensors with enhanced biocompatibility …

Superhydrophobic materials have been the subject of extensive research over the last
decade. The extreme water repellence of superhydrophobic surfaces derived from a highly …

Photochromic and photoluminescent clothes can be described as smart textiles that alter
their color and emission spectra upon exposure to a light stimulus. Recycled nonwoven …

Linen fibres were coated with a glow‐in‐the‐dark photoluminescence, flame‐retarding, and
hydrophobic smart nanocomposite using the pad‐dry‐curing process. Ecologically friendly …

Organic reactions generally involve a variety of catalysts and solvents, which may be
inflammable, toxic, and/or corrosive. Consequently, most of these reactions highly influence …

Nano/micro-scaled surface roughness has been broadly applied for the development of
water repellent merchandise. However, the sophisticated procedures, costly and harmful …

In-situ preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into plasma-pretreated cotton substrates
adds novel functional properties and expands their potential applications. Herein, we report …

In this study, insect waxes (Beeswax and Shellac wax) were spray-coated onto paper, cups,
and bowls to achieve surface hydrophobicity for packaging applications. The thin coatings of …

Functionalized cellulose nanofiber (CNF) was enhanced with multi-walled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNTs) and tin oxide (SnO 2) forming hybrid CNF/MWCNTs/SnO 2 …

Cotton fabrics have been known as one of the most common fibers due to its high absorption
ability to chemicals, cheapness and high strength. The functionalization of natural fabrics …
