Cellulose Nanocrystals Meet Next-Gen Hydrogels: Prof. Shenmin Zhu’s Breakthrough Talk at MNano 2025

 


About the Speaker
Prof. Shenmin Zhu, a tenured professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and former JSPS Fellow in Japan, has authored over 190 journal papers on polymer composites and biomedical gels. Her latest work pushes cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) far beyond their traditional uses.

What She’ll Unveil
Functionalization of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Their Biomedical Applications will showcase:

  • Magnetically responsive CNC hydrogels built with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles—perfect for smart sensors, optical devices and nano-templating.

  • Stretchable, near-infrared–triggered hydrogels produced via in-situ polymerisation, delivering ultra-high drug loads on demand.

  • Injectable “all-in-one” hydrogel that combines photothermal, photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy under a single 660 nm light source—opening new horizons for minimally invasive cancer treatment.

These advances demonstrate how abundant, sustainable cellulose can be transformed into high-performance biomaterials with multi-functional punch.

Why It Matters
CNCs are renewable, biocompatible and naturally abundant. Prof. Zhu’s functionalised versions add magnetic, optical and therapeutic abilities—creating low-cost platforms for drug delivery, tissue engineering and responsive medical devices.
