The pretreatment of lignocelluloses results in changes in the different properties of these
materials. In a recent review (Karimi and Taherzadeh, 2016), the details of compositional …

We elucidate the effect of residual lignin on the interfacial, physical and mechanical
properties of lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNF) and respective nanopapers. Fibers …

Lignocellulosic biomass, a potentially important renewable organic source of energy and
chemical feedstock, resists degradation to glucose in industrial hydrolysis processes and …

A significant amount of waste is annually generated worldwide by the supply chain of the
food industry. Considering the population growth, the environmental concerns, and the …

To further investigate the effect of dilute acid pretreatment (DAP) and steam explosion
pretreatment (SE) on the change in cellulose accessibility, several techniques were applied …

The degree with which wood shrinks and swells with changing moisture content is an
important property which determines its suitability for different applications. This property …

This review summarizes the proposed mechanisms for irreversible coalescence of cellulose
microfibrils within fibers during various common industrial treatments for chemical pulp fibers …

The objective of this paper was to investigate size distribution of micropores and mesopores
within the wood cell walls between sapwood and heartwood by using nitrogen adsorption …

In the industry of cement-based products, various lignocellulosic materials are used as
reinforcing elements. These cellulosic materials are presented as potential alternatives …
