How do trees support their upright massive bodies? The support comes from the incredibly
strong and stiff, and highly crystalline nanoscale fibrils of extended cellulose chains, called …

Periodate oxidation of polysaccharides has transitioned from structural analysis into a
modification method for engineered materials. This review summarizes the research on this …

Lignocellulosic biomass is abundantly available in nature and is contemplated as the largest
renewable resource on earth. Cellulose is a preliminary portion of the tough cell wall that …

Nanocellulose has been subjected to a wide range of chemical modifications towards
increasing its potential in certain fields of interest. These modifications either modulated the …

Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) materials are candidates for the sustainable development of high
mechanical performance nanomaterials. Due to inherent hydrophilicity and limited …

Abstract A novel cationic surfactant 2-[2-(Tetradecylamino) ethoxy] ethanol (14-2G) was
designed and synthesized by introducing the–CH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OH group to …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are potential green systems that can be used as reagents,
extraction agents and reaction media. DESs are often biodegradable, easy to prepare and …

The transition of the mineral processing sectors, which depend mainly on various petroleum-
origin chemicals, to the green industry based on the production of greener materials and the …

Wolframite, as the main mineral for extracting tungsten, is usually separated and enriched by
flotation in mineral processing, thus the construction of efficient flotation collector is of great …

The low-grade ores invariably liberate in finer sizes and the fines contain good amount of
iron values in it. Flotation is the most established solution, both technologically and …
