Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have potential applications in the development of innovative materials and enhancement of conventional materials properties. This paper focused on the mixed cellulase hydrolysis with major activity of exoglucanase and endoglucanase on the cellulose length shearing. By the cooperation of two-step production route, including (1) enzymatic pretreatment using cellulase fromTrichoderma virideand (2) mechanical grinding twice, a shorter cellulose nanofiber was fabricated. The influence of enzymatic charge and hydrolysis time on cellulose fibers was analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). SEM images revealed that the surface morphology change, effective diameter sharpening, and length shearing of cellulose fibers are as a result of cellulase hydrolysis. The XRD suggested that the cellulase acted on the amorphous regions more strongly than the crystalline domains during layer-by-layer hydrolysis. The enzymatic charge and hydrolysis time significantly affected the yields and hydrolysis products concentration. The enzymatic pretreatment assisted mechanical grinding could improve the uniformity of CNF and helped to obtain CNF with exact length according to the requirement for special applications.

In this research, it was proposed to use carrot cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF) isolated from carrot pomace modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a filler of polylactic acid (PLA) composites matrix. The new procedure was based on two steps: first, the preparation of nanocellulose modified with metal nanoparticles, and then the combination with PLA. Two concentrations—0.25 mM and 2 mM—of AgNO3 were used to modify CCNF. Then, PLA was mixed with the filler (CCNF/AgNPs) in two proportions 99:1 and 96:4. The influence of CCNF/AgNPs on mechanical, hydrophilic, thermal, and antibacterial properties of obtained nanocomposites was evaluated. The greatest improvement of mechanical properties was observed for composite containing CCNF with 2 mM of AgNPs, which obtained the lowest Young modulus and highest strain at break. The degradation temperature was lower for PLA with CCNF/AgNPs, but crystallization temperature wasn’t influenced. The addition of CCNF/AgNPs also increased hydrophilicity. The transmission rates of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide also increased after the addition of CCNF/AgNPs to PLA. The antibacterial function against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus was obtained after the addition of AgNPs but only at the contact surface with the material made, suggesting the lack of migration of nanoparticles from the composite.

Silver nanoparticles were deposited on glass slides and surgical suture as antibacterial agent. The silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride and using a synthetic polyelectrolyte as capping agent. Poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt PSSMA was used to stabilize the silver nanoparticles and provide an anionic surface charge which then allowed the layer-by-layer deposition method with poly (dially dimethyl ammonium chloride) PDADMAC. Various concentration of capping agent were used to prepare the silver nanoparticles which were then deposited on glass slide and surgical suture. The layer-by-layer deposition of the nanoparticles was studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy by monitoring the intensity of the characteristic Plasmon band of the nanoparticles at 400nm. The leaching of the silver nanoparticles in buffered solutions of pH 3,7 and 9 was monitored by recording the decrease in absorbance of silver nanoparticles film as a function of time for each pH solutions and each capping concentrations. Finally, suture material coated with silver nanoparticles were tested for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and results showed that all coated sutures had more than 99% bacterial reduction. So these suture material could be applied to use in medical products for promoted wound healing and decreased bacterial colony leading to relieve inflammation of patient.
