Sustainable hydrophobic cellulose shows potential to replace petroleum-related products

Schematic diagram of a hybrid network based on CNF and DFNKF. Residues utilized for functionalization and interaction with CNFs are highlighted. The halogenated derivatives DF(1)NKF and DF(F5)NKF were obtained by replacing Phe at position 2 with the corresponding halogenated amino acid. Credit: Journal of Materials Chemistry B (2024).
