Summary: In this study, a cellulose nanofiber-based functional film with poor strength and flame retardancy was improved by adding ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) as flame-retardant additives. The resulting composite film showed excellent mechanical strength and enhanced flame retardant-performance. It has great potential for future applications.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the photochemical stability of indomethacin-beta-cyclodextrin systems with different stoichiometries in the solid state, in order to find the best correlation between IND stability and the amount of CD. Comparative analysis of physicochemical degradation is performed using various analytical methods to determine the effects of different stoichiometries on the systems.

Summary: Supramolecular hydrogels have attracted significant attention due to their versatile approaches for preparation and new facile characterization strategies. In this study, we successfully formed a biocompatible and low-cost supramolecular hydrogel by binding modified cellulose nanowhiskers with gallic acid pendant groups (CNW-GA) with CNW grafted with beta-Cyclodextrin (CNW-g-beta-CD) through HG interaction. We also developed a simple colorimetric characterization method using phenolphthalein (PP) as a visual indicator for confirming HG complexation.

Summary: Cyclodextrin-based fluorescent probes have shown great potential in chemical or biological sensing. In this study, a new probe was developed by linking DASP and B-cyclodextrin. It was found that the intermolecular inclusion complex formed by the probe would disassemble in the presence of amantadine, leading to a decrease in fluorescence intensity. This discovery provides a rapid and selective method for the detection of amantadine and suggests the potential for designing other cyclodextrin-based sensing strategies.

Summary: In this study, the chaotropic effect of reduced molybdate ions in acidified aqueous solution was shown to significantly amplify weak supramolecular interactions, leading to the formation of large aggregates of molybdenum-blue oligomeric species and gamma-cyclodextrin. Time-resolved Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) analysis revealed the rapid formation of nanoscopic {Mo-154}-based host-guest species, while X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of an unprecedented three-component well-ordered core-shell-like motif. This work provides insights into self-assembly processes and offers new opportunities for designing complex multicomponent materials through non-covalent chemistry simplicity.

Summary: In this study, millimeter-scale hollow spheres made from cationic chitosan, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride, and anionic carboxymethyl cellulose were prepared. The cationic hollow sphere showed excellent adsorption capacity towards anionic dyes, especially reactive black-5. The hollow sphere not only provides a new approach for the preparation of large size hollow spheres but also has broad applications in selective pollutant removal.
