Mild acid hydrolysis of various plant residues has been proposed in recent years as a novel
way of transforming biomass into bioplastics. However, the alkaline hydrolysis of such …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) isolation based on a catalyst-free maleic anhydride esterification
has proven to be effective, however, the effects of pulp hornification on CNF isolation by this …

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is an emerging cellulosic material that has shown enormous
potential in various industrial sectors such as food packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals …

Paper coating with cellulose micro/nanofibrils (MFC/NFC) can improve the performance of
paper packaging. However, the process cost is high due to the significant energy …

One of the bottlenecks in the industrial production of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) is its high
energy cost. Several pretreatments have been researched in an attempt to reduce costs. A …

The characteristics of cellulose micro/nanofibrils (MFC/CNF) can be improved with pre-
treatments of the original fibers. The present work is proposed to study pre-treatment with …

Energy expenditure is a limiting factor for the production of cellulose micro/nanofibrils in
mechanical processing. This study evaluated the effect of novel alkaline pretreatments on …

Based on the reduction of environmental pollution, a biological enzyme assisted alkali-
oxygen pulping method was explored to improve the delignification efficiency and fiber …

Pre-treatments reduce energy consumption for the production of cellulose micro/nanofibrils
(MFC/CNF). The objective of this work was to study sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solutions as …

Cellulose micro/nanofibril (MNFC) films are an interesting alternative to plastic-based films
for application in biodegradable packaging. In this study, we aimed to produce and …
