The Sustainable Applications of Nanocellulose-Based 3D Printing Technologies Eapen Philip, P. H. Vaisakh, Sneha Sara Varghese, Tressia Alias Princy Paulose, Linda E. Jacob, H. Akhina Green Sustainable Agriculture and Farming Practices Eco Technological Approaches, 2025 The fabrication of nanomaterials from renewable and sustainable sources has grown significantly over the past decade as an outcome of growing demand to take advantage of readily available resources. Nanocellulose (NC) materials made from renewable biomasses show considerable potential for improving the sustainability of traditional materials in a variety of uses because of their high prosperity, physical features, simplicity of modification, and biocompatibility. It can be employed to enhance mechanical durability, improve antibacterial activity, create photochromic and electrochromic devices, and be a simple, biodegradable, and more resilient material for packaging. The techniques for additive fabrication, like 3D printing, can speed up production while lowering material waste and enhancing product customization and functionality. The innovative NC materials are 114being produced using additive manufacturing processes, which can assist in further lowering environmental impacts and resource waste. In this chapter discussed, the NC characteristics and the technological applications of 3D-printed NC in the fields of biomedical, electronics, environmental, food packaging, energy and electrochemical assessed for prospective future applications.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of chitosan-derived carbon dots for advanced glioblastoma imaging and therapeutics Linda E. Jacob, Manohar D. Mullassery, Noeline B. Fernandez, Eapen Philip Analytical Chemistry Letters, 2025 Glioblastoma represents one of the most aggressive and difficult neurological malignancies due to its rapid proliferation and resistance to standard therapeutic approaches. To combat this challenge, novel and effective strategies are essential, including the design of innovative therapeutic agents and advanced imaging materials. In this context, the present study investigates chitosan-derived carbon dots (CDs) synthesized through a microwave-assisted, eco-friendly method as a potential solution for glioblastoma-related applications. The synthesized carbon dots were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to verify their structural and optical characteristics. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images confirmed that the particles possess sizes below 10 nm. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements demonstrated strong emission intensity, high quantum yield, and microsecond-level fluorescence lifetime, indicating their suitability and stability for bioimaging purposes. The influence of pH on fluorescence intensity was also studied. Additionally, the antioxidant capability of the CDs was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging method. <i>In vitro</i> bioimaging experiments with U87 MG glioblastoma cells showed green fluorescence, while MTT assays revealed excellent cell viability and non-cytotoxic behavior, confirming the biocompatibility of the carbon dots. Collectively, these findings highlight chitosan-derived carbon dots as a promising platform for advanced imaging and potential biomedical applications against glioblastoma.
