Abstract

Value-added materials from naturally abundant polymers such as cellulose are of significant importance. In particular, cellulosic open-framework structures with controlled chemical functionality of the internal surface have great potential in many biosensor applications. Although various cellulose derivatives can form porous honeycomb structured materials, solubility issues and problems with film formation exist. To address this, we have ...
