Functionalized sawdust-derived cellulose nanocrystalline adsorbent for efficient removal of vanadium from aqueous solution

Author: Zulu, B ; Oyewo, OA ; Leswifi, TY ; Onyango, MS ; Bishop, BB Date: Jul 2020 Water quality degradation due to noxious heavy metals has become a serious concern because of its impact on human health and the ecosystem. In this study, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) derived from sawdust as a green renewable and sustainable ... Read more
Incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from sawdust into polyamide thin-film composite membranes for enhanced water recovery

Author: Adeniyi, A ; Gonzalez-Ortiz, d ; Pochat-Bohatier, B ; Oyewo, O ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Onyango, M Date: Dec 2020 In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from sawdust were successfully incorporated into a thin film composite membrane made from polyamide. The characteristics of unmodified and modified membranes were investigated using FT-IR, ... Read more
Mechanical and shape memory properties of 3D-Printed Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC)-reinforced polylactic acid bionanocomposites for Potential 4D applications

Author: Agbakoba, Victor C ; Hlangothi, P ; Andrew, Jerome E ; Mathew, Maya J Date: Sep 2022 There is a growing need for diversified material feedstock for 3D printing technologies such as fused deposition modelling (FDM) techniques. This has resulted in an increased drive in the research and development of eco-friendly biopolymer-based ... Read more
Sawdust-based cellulose nanocrystals incorporated with ZnO nanoparticles as efficient adsorption media in the removal of methylene blue dye

Author: Oyewo, OA ; Adeniyi, A ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Onyango, MS Date: Jul 2020 The continuous increase in the wastes generated from forestry, timber, and paper industries has engendered the need for their transformation into economically viable materials for the benefit of mankind. This study reports the preparation and ... Read more
Using a systematic review to develop a cellulose nanocrystals production framework for use as a design baseline and optimization tool

Author: Roopchund, R ; Andrew, Jerome E ; Sithole, B Date: Apr 2023 Various cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) production processes are not systematically reviewed. Therefore, there lacks a basis for future CNC process designs and optimizations. To solve this problem, the objective of this study was to perform a ... Read more
Using cellulose nanocrystals to improve the mechanical properties of fly ash-based geopolymer construction materials

Author: Roopchund, R ; Andrew, Jerome E ; Sithole, Bishop B Date: Jan 2022 Ordinary Portland cement production is one of the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide. Consequently, there is a strong need for construction materials with lower environmental footprints. However, the development of alternative green construction ... Read more
