Surface fluorinated nanocellulose crystals (FNC) were incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and electrospun into composite nanofibers. Incorporation of only 2 wt % FNC in PVDF resulted in a significant enhancement in pressure sensitivity with a very low detectable pressure limit of 10 Pa and a sensitivity of up to 18 mV/kPa. The composite PENGs also demonstrated very high sensitivity for forced continuous vibrations. 2FNC/PVDF composites resulted in an order of magnitude higher voltage response over neat PVDF for a given strain. When PENGs were mounted on a vacuum pump for transduction of mechanical vibrations into electrical energy, 2FNC/PVDF composite devices manifested similar to 3.8 times enhanced voltage output over neat PVDF and faster charging of a capacitor. The enhanced piezoelectric properties of PVDF/FNC nanocomposites could be attributed to the tailored interface between PVDF and nanocellulose and enhanced polarizability.&lt;/p&gt;

	Melanins, a class of brown-black pigments present in many natural sources, exhibit unique physical and chemical properties such as photoprotection, photoconductivity, metal ion chelation, free radical quenching, proton conductivity, and significant antimicrobial properties. These properties could be leveraged in various environmental and energy applications. However, their limited solubility makes them less amenable to processing. Over the last decade, there has been tremendous interest in developing synthetic analogs of melanin that are easy to dissolve and process. Nonetheless, melanins or their synthetic analogs cannot form mechanically robust free-standing films and fibers. This drawback could be partly circumvented by creating composites of melanin with nanocellulose, a nanomaterial derived from cellulosic biomass. Composites of melanins and nanocellulose offer an opportunity to utilize the functional aspects of melanin-like polymers in a mechanically stable nanocellulose network. This review attempts to capture the recent developments on this topic with special emphasis on technologically relevant applications.&lt;/p&gt;
