Individual and hybrid pre-treatments, including hot water, steam and microwave were used
on wheat straw to mitigate the surface quality deficiencies for an intimate interfacial bond …

Concerns on environmental issues are motivating the development of biodegradable
materials and the use of sustainable processes. Among the most abundant biodegradable …

The paper deals with the possibility of using post-harvest crop residues, namely winter
wheat straw and winter rapeseed straw for the purpose of producing particleboards. In order …

We developed value-added, high-strength lignocellulosic biopolymers by exploiting high-
lignin biomass waste of palms. Lignocellulosic biopolymers were prepared by hot-pressing …
