RESUMEN
The toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), especially formaldehyde (FA), released from decoration materials pose a great threat to human health. In this study, formaldehyde adsorption performance of the specially formulated nanocellulose/chitosan aerogel (CNFCA) was investigated in simulated atmosphere. The physicochemical property of the composite aerogel was characterized, which had a large specific surface area (153.67 m2/g), a rough surface and an ultra-thin and porous structure. The composite aerogel showed excellent adsorption capacity for the formaldehyde, its theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was as high as 83.89 mg/g, and the adsorption process was more in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The chromogenic reaction between the 4-amino-3-benzo-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazolium (AHMT) and CNFCA was found that the color of the composite aerogel was depended on the free formaldehyde concentration. Based on this phenomenon, a colorimetric card was proposed and built to detection the formaldehyde in the atmosphere. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism research was found that the CNFCA with a multilayer structure belonged to physicochemical complex adsorption.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a novel approach to manufacture repeatable personalized structures for mass customization in medical fields. Considering the resemblance of materials in composition and microstructure to biological tissues, polysaccharide-based hydrogel is a promising printing material. However, its long-term stability of structure has always been a problem. In this work, we showed a green nanocomposite printing ink based on 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized bacterial cellulose (TOBC), sodium alginate (SA) and laponite nanoclay (Xls). The TOBC/SA/Xls hydrogel prepared by the 3D printing ink not only exhibited structural stability, but also performed a long-term release behavior of protein which could be attractive in medical application of drug release, biomedical devices and tissue engineering.
