Nano-emulsions and nano-latexes comprising functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a surfactant that impacts the stability and size of the emulsion droplets of oil-in water emulsions. Stable emulsions can be accessed by adding a desired organic, non-water soluble molecule as the oil phase to an aqueous CNC suspension followed by agitation. Depending on the functionalization of the CNCs, their hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance can be modified, which allows the ability to control the stability and droplet size of the emulsion. Methods for producing nano-emulsions and nano-latexes, when the oil phase contains a polymerizable monomer, are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a superabsorbent polymer gel derived from renewable and biodegradable materials such as carboxyalkyl cellulose (CAC). The CAC had a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.5<DS<1. The carboxyalkyl cellulose was partially or fully solubilized in alkaline solution and crosslinked with a crosslinker to yield a crosslinked polycarboxy-material with high Water Retention Value (WRV) of at least 118 g/g saline water (0.9% sodium chloride solution) and Centrifuge Retention Capacity (CRC) of at least 90 g saline water/g superabsorbent material.
