Microbial Corrosion01:24

Microbial Corrosion

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant form of material degradation caused by the metabolic activities of microorganisms. This phenomenon poses substantial challenges across various industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and water treatment sectors.MIC occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and fungi, colonize metal surfaces, forming biofilms that alter the local electrochemical environment. These biofilms can lead to the production of corrosive...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Nanocelluloses, including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), are emerging biomaterials with unique properties.
  • Their integration into dental materials is a growing area of research due to potential benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in nanocellulose applications within dental materials.
  • To identify structure-property relationships and explore future opportunities for nanocellulose in dentistry.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major scientific databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed) from 2000 to 2025.
  • Keywords focused on nanocellulose and dental materials, excluding specific cellulose derivatives and bacterial cellulose.
  • Citation screening of relevant papers supplemented the search.

Main Results:

  • Nanocelluloses (CNCs and CNFs) have been explored in dental composites, cements, coatings, drug delivery, remineralization, and tissue engineering scaffolds.
  • They primarily act as mechanical reinforcing agents, with CNCs providing stiffness and CNFs offering toughness.
  • Hydrophilicity-induced aggregation and poor matrix compatibility are key challenges, hindering uniform dispersion.

Conclusions:

  • Surface functionalization and aqueous processing are key strategies to overcome current limitations.
  • Future applications include multifunctional materials like adhesives, 3D-printable resins, and bioactive composites.
  • This review provides a foundation for future research on nanocellulose integration in diverse dental materials.
