Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the application of intrinsically conductive polymer (ICP)-biowaste cellulose nanocomposites in the field of advanced sensors. Biowaste cellulose is known for its sustainability, while ICPs offer distinctive electrical and optical characteristics. Their combination presents considerable potential in sensor technology. This review explores the innovative use of biowaste cellulose derived from agricultural residue, forestry waste, and industrial by-products, presenting it as a sustainable substitute for petroleum-based polymers. Conversely, materials like polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) exhibit remarkable conductive characteristics, rendering them particularly attractive for use in sensor applications. The review provides new insights into synthesis methodologies and characterization techniques, highlighting the structural, chemical, and electrical properties of these composites. Particular focus is directed towards innovative sensor applications, including gas, humidity, strain, and pressure sensors, which have not been thoroughly explored in earlier studies. This review emphasizes the potential of ICP-biowaste cellulose nanocomposites to revolutionize sensor technologies by tackling the challenges of scalability and material optimization. Additionally, it highlights their applicability across various domains, such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and smart devices.
期刊介绍:
Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
