Humidity control is necessary for many areas of modern human life, including agriculture, food and automotive industries, electronics manufacturing, medicine and everyday life. A new trend in medical sensors is the use of flexible wearable sensors that can be attached to a person's body or the clothing adjacent to it. Such sensors are able to repeat the shape of the body and deform as needed, without breaking or causing discomfort to the patient. Today, nanocellulose (NC) is a rather promising humidity-sensitive material, which is characterized by high hydrophilicity and sufficient flexibility, and at the same time it is a biodegradable material. The purpose of the work. Development and research of flexible humidity sensors based on nanocellulose as a moisture-sensitive film, depending on the nature of the raw material and the method of NC manufacturing, as well as the configuration of the device electrodes. Research results. Three groups of humidity sensors were manufa...

Stems of hemp and kenaf compared with wood at approximately the same cellulose content have lesser lignin content, ash content and a much larger number of substances that dissolve in water and NaOH. It is shown that the water preliminary hydrolysis of bast plants compared with acid preliminary hydrolysis leads to less extraction of herbal minerals, hemicelluloses and cellulose fractions of low molecular weight. Increasing liquid to solid ratio in acid preliminary hydrolysis reduces mineral content in fibers and stems of plants, resulting in decreased yield and increased content of residual lignin in pulps. Cellulose was obtained by alkaline-sulfite alcohol method of bast plants delignification. Different schemes of bleaching organosolvent pulp using various charge...

Most often, synthetic polymers are used for the manufacture of humidity sensors, which after the end of their operation are accumulated in the form of electronic waste, polluting the environment. Currently, biodegradable polymers are in great demand. Such materials include nanocellulose, which can be made from both wood and plant raw materials. It has already been proven that nanocellulose is a promising material for use in humidity-sensitive devices. However, it was not clear the effect of sensitive film’s thickness on the characteristics of humidity sensors. In this work, capacitive humidity sensors based on nanocellulose were fabricated. Nanocellulose (NC) was obtained from reeds by the TEMPO method. The moisture-sensitive layer of NC was applied by dripping. Static (sensitivity, response, hysteresis) and dynamic (response time, recovery tim...

NWPM have the necessary reserves and properties to make up for a possible shortage of wood fiber for pulp production. The methodology for evaluating the efficiency of the delignification processes of plant raw materials is presented. A two-stage technology for producing pulp for the preparation of NC by environmentally friendly organosolvent methods of NWPM delignification is proposed. Methods for preparing nanocellulose are described. The technological parameters of the extraction of NC from pulp are discussed. The influence of NC on the properties of composite materials is analyzed. Areas of use for NC from NWPM are shown.

An expression is presented for calculating the equilibrium constants of the process of formation of addition products under universal solvation conditions, where the change in all of the thermodynamic characteristics of the process is determined by only a change in the dielectric constant of the medium.

OHP was obtained from renewable plant materials hemp fibers by extraction with NaOH solution and cooking using a mixture of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. A stable transparent nanocellulose gel was extracted from OHP by acid hydrolysis followed by ultrasonic treatment. It was found that an increase in the consumption of sulfuric acid, temperature and duration of the OHP hydrolysis process improves the quality indicators of hemp nanocellulose. A linear dependence of the tensile strength and transparency of nanocellulose films on their density has been established. Morphological (SEM), structural (FTIR and XRD) and thermal analysis (TGA) of hemp fibers, OHP and nanocellulose were carried out. Nanocellulose films had a density of up to 1.56 g/cm3, a tensile strength of up to 66.7 ...

The influence of technological factors on the properties of nanocellulose films was determined. The obtained nanocellulose films had density up to 1.46 g/cm3, transparency up to 80%, crystallinity degree up to 77% and tensile strength up to 70 MPa. The properties of nanocellulose films studied by means of electron absorption spectra, XRD and AFM methods. The bag paper with consumption of nanocellulose of 5 g/m2 has mechanical properties of 12–68% higher and the elongation increases 2.9 times than paper without the use of surface treatment.

The effect of deposition temperature and annealing on surface morphology, electrical and optical parameters of molybdenum oxide thin films and heterojunctions based on them were determined. In particular, obtained thin films exhibit photosensitive properties (photo-sensitivity coefficient is about 200 μA/1mV), heterojunctions based on them are characterized by the rectifying properties (rectification coefficient is almost 300 at applied voltage of 0.5V) and photovoltaic properties (open-circuit voltage is 215 mV and short-circuit current with one point contact is up to 2.4 mA).

The microscopic structure and chemical composition of the stalks of non-traditional annual plants for pulp and paper industry, such as wheat, rape, amaranth, lavatery, sverbiga and schavnat, were studied. It was established that their microscopic structure and chemical composition are similar to those of other kinds of non-wood plants, but are, nevertheless, different from those of softwoods and hardwoods. The effect of the duration of oxidative-organosolvent delignification of these plants on the quality of peracetic acid pulp was investigated. It was shown that oxidation of lignin and its transfer into solution occurs with varying intensity for different annual plants. It was also evidenced that the peracetic acid pulps obtained from the investigated plants may be arranged in the following o...
