Confined oil in beaded polymeric fibers with advanced thermoregulating properties
RPI ID: 2019-033-201, 2019-033-601 Innovation Summary: A coaxial wet-wet electrospinning process enables the creation of core-shell microfibers, where the core contains a phase-change material (PCM) like coconut oil and the shell is composed of cellulose. The fibers are extruded into an ethanol-water coagulation bath, forming a beaded morphology with...

Novel nanocomposite fibers with a dramatic reduction in human plasma coagulation time
RPI ID: 2019-034-401 Innovation Summary: This invention describes a method for producing cellulose-nanoclay hemostatic nanocomposite fibers. The process involves dissolving cellulose in a room-temperature ionic liquid and integrating nanoclay particles to form a homogenous solution. The resulting fibers exhibit dramatically reduced human plasma coagulation...

Increase Of Cellulose Biosynthesis
IntroductionCellulose is a complex carbohydrate that serves as the basic structural component of plant cell walls. It accounts for roughly one-third of all vegetal matter, making it the most common organic compound on earth. Due to its ubiquitous nature, cellulose and its derivatives are key resources for the agriculture, forestry, textile, and paper...
