Abstract: The cellulose solvent N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMO) reacts violently with carbodiimide coupling agents, such as the widely used DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide), which can cause explosions, heavy smoke generation and complete charring of the reaction… read more here.

Abstract: Grafting beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with the formation of well-dispersed nanoparticles (CNC-CD) and understanding their physicochemical properties are appealing but still challenging in controlled-release applications. Two immobilization methods were proposed and examined in… read more here.
