However, its high volatility limits its application as a wood preservative. To resolve this problem, FeCl₃ was employed as a Lewis acid catalyst to initiate the cationic polymerization of α-pinene, forming a self-encapsulated poly-α-pinene system. The research results demonstrated that the water contact angle of poly-turpentine oil (Poly-TO) modified rubberwood increased from 82.34° to 117.41°. The rubberwood Poly-TO treated achieved an acceptable decay resistance rating and could satisfy the requirements on class I defined in Chinese standard GB/T 13942.1 (2009). Compared with the untreated wood, the mass loss reduced from 47.23 to 9.13% and from 37.40 to 8.34%, respectively, after 12 weeks’ exposure to white and brown rot fungi under 28 °C and 85% relative humidity storage conditions. Microstructure analysis proved Poly-TO treatment can protect internal structure of wood. The Poly-TO treated rubberwood also showed significantly improvement on termite resistance. Compared with the wood untreated, the mass loss reduced from 8.73 to 0.94%. The results indicate that Poly-TO as a wood preservative showed promise.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"33 11","pages":"6867 - 6883"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we demonstrate that unmodified cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiber membranes can serve as effective CO₂ sorbents at room temperature, offering a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to chemically modified polymeric systems. The distinct wrinkled morphology of the CA nanofibers achieved through targeted electrospinning conditions (solvent selection and high humidity) enhances the surface area and contributes to a CO₂ sorption capacity of up to 2.14 mmol/g, comparable to that of more complex porous materials. Beyond single-material systems, we emphasize the often-overlooked role of matrix–additive compatibility in composite membranes. Using a CA/β-zeolite system as a case study, we show that specific interactions between the polymer matrix and active phase–β- ammonium zeolite can entirely suppress CO₂ sorption instead of the assumed synergy of sorption properties for both components. The cellulose-based support was chosen for its biodegradability and biocompatibility, further supporting its use in sustainable technologies. To address the stability of modifying agents, we introduce a sandwich-type nanofiber membrane architecture (CA/Zeolite/CA) in which active nanocrystals–β-zeolites are embedded and fixed within layered structures. However, the sandwich structure of the membrane in this case indicated a negative effect of the mutual interaction of the CA carrier and β-ammonium zeolites on the sorption capacity of the composite membrane. Overall, the combination of simplicity, performance, and green chemistry makes CA nanofiber membranes a promising candidate for scalable and sustainable CO₂ capture.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"33 11","pages":"6783 - 6799"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10570-026-07182-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149027682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploiting species’ natural salinity tolerance and optimizing the culture medium with NaCl and CaCl₂ considerably enhanced shoot proliferation and elongation, leading to a 25.1% cellulose content. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses confirmed the presence of well-defined cellulose peaks and cellulose-specific functional bands.

These bands serve as fingerprints of pure cellulose components. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed the highest thermal stability in JT4, with the highest mass loss (72.73%) and lowest char residue (1.34%), indicating high cellulose purity and crystallinity. Derivative thermogravimetry and Differential scanning calorimetry of JT4 developed peak at 342 °C, and exothermic peak at 389.4 °C, indicating high crystallinity and thermal stability.

This study investigates the effects of further mechanical treatment, salt concentration, and temperature on the rheological and filtration properties of L-CNF/BT-WBDFs. Further mechanical treatment, including wet grinding and high-pressure homogenization, was applied to obtain mechanically treated L-CNFs (ML-CNFs). The results show that mechanical treatment significantly improves the dispersion and individualization of L-CNFs, thereby enhancing fluid rheology and reducing filtration loss in BT-WBDFs. Salt and hot rolling influence the rheology and filtration performance of L-CNF/BT- and ML-CNF/BT-WBDFs differently. ML-CNF/BT-WBDFs exhibit greater resistance to salt contamination due to increased fibrillation and dispersed fibrils forming a more cohesive network in solution. In contrast, L-CNF/BT-WBDFs performed better under hot rolling due to reduced surface area and fewer exposed hydroxy groups. Nevertheless, the combined effects of salinity and elevated temperature strongly impact the rheological properties and filtration-control efficiency of both systems. Under the combined effects of salinity and elevated temperature conditions, ML-CNFs display superior resistance compared with L-CNFs. This improved performance is attributed to the more stable network structure of ML-CNFs, which promotes better dispersion of bentonite platelets under saline and high-temperature conditions, thereby enhancing system stability.
