This study aims to extract and characterize cellulose microfibers from cornhusk, an
agricultural by-product. The extracted fibers will then be used as a reinforcing agent in a …

The cellulose microfibers (CMF) from water hyacinth (WH) fiber as a filler in sago starch (SS)
biocomposites was investigated. The CMF was isolated by pulping, bleaching and acid …

In this paper, lignocellulosic fibers and cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) were extracted from
palmyra fruit peduncle waste and investigated as naturally derived cellulosic materials for …

This article reports on the extraction and characterization of novel natural cellulose fibers
obtained from the maize (tassel) plant. Cellulose was extracted from the agricultural residue …

Cellulose fibers are used in polymeric matrices due to their thermal and mechanical
capabilities. These biopolymers can be isolated from different natural sources. In this study …

The high demand for plastic and polymeric materials which keeps rising every year makes
them important industries, for which sustainability is a crucial aspect to be taken into …

Timoho fiber (TF) is a biodegradable bio-fiber rich in cellulose and a renewable agro textile
fiber rich in cellulose polysaccharides. Isolation of micro cellulose from TF is an alternative …

In the early 1990's, researchers at Toyota revolutionized nanocomposite technology by
showing that adding clay nanoparticles to polymers increased their stiffness, impact …

Agricultural residues are suitable to make useful products that can potentially replace the
non-biodegradable polymeric materials. In the present work, corn cob and rice S= straw is …

Rice straw (Oryza sativa Linn.) was subjected to steam treatment in an alkali solution to
solubilize hemicelluloses and lignin seal surrounding the cellulose bundles. After …
