Cellulosic surfaces endowed with chemical reactivity by physical adsorption of functionalized polysaccharides Open
A strategy to functionalize cellulosic surfaces through physical adsorption of xyloglucan (XG) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derivatives bearing allyl or alkyne groups is reported. A set of functional polymer derivatives with degrees o…

Multifunctionalization of cellulose microfibrils through a cascade pathway entailing the sustainable Passerini multi-component reaction Open
Through a cascade of chemical derivatizations involving the green Passerini three-component reaction (P-3CR), we describe herein the multifunctionnalization of cellulose microfibrils (MFC) previously subjected to a periodate oxidation step.

Solvent-Free Synthesis of Amidated Carboxymethyl Cellulose Derivatives: Effect on the Thermal Properties Open
The present work explores the possibility of chemically modifying carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), a widely diffused commercial cellulose ether, by grafting of hydrophobic moieties. Amidation of CMC, at high temperature and in heterogeneous …

Keratin Protein-Catalyzed Nitroaldol (Henry) Reaction and Comparison with Other Biopolymers Open
Here we describe a preliminary investigation on the ability of natural keratin to catalyze the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction between aldehydes and nitroalkanes. Both aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes bearing strong or moderate electron-w…
