going research and applications of natural fiber-based composites have gained increasing …

Reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impacts have been significant
factors in expanding the applicability of plant fiber-reinforced composites across a variety of …

This work describes the preparation of new eco-friendly adsorbents with a simple method.
Gel beads of coffee grounds cellulose (CGC) and sodium alginate (SA) were prepared for …

The deployment of lignin, one of the most naturally occurring biopolymers and sources of
aromatics with plenty of reactive functional sites, in discovering and developing catalysts …

Cellulose is a naturally occurring organic polymer extracted mainly from lignocellulosic
biomass of terrestrial origin. However, the increasing production of seaweeds for growing …

Nanocellulose of different morphologies was extracted from Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria Juncea)
using acid hydrolysis. The work focused on two objectives: first, to valorize the Sunn Hemp …

Cellulose is a linear biopolymer which is composed of nanofibrils, thus having a large
surface area. This low-cost, low-density, high-specific-surface-area, easily processable …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have been extensively used in various fields due to their
renewability, excellent biocompatibility, large specific surface area, and high tensile …

Areca nut husk fibers are easily available and they are abundant agricultural waste, whose
utilization to high value products needs more attention. The present study aims at the …

Cellulose was extracted from rice husk (RH) using an integrated delignification process
using alkaline treatment and acid hydrolysis (concentrated HNO 3) for lignocellulosic …
