Lignocellulose in the form of forestry, agricultural, and agro-industrial wastes is accumulated
in large quantities every year. These materials are mainly composed of three groups of …

Cellulose derivatives in aqueous solutions are mainly used in applications that exploit their
specific solution properties as thickeners, binding agents, emulsifiers and stabilisers. They …

Cellulose is a major constituent of papers made from plant fibers and combustible
component of non-food energy crops. An ideal reference for scientists in natural and …

Agricultural waste can be exploited for the adsorption of dyes, due to their low cost,
availability, cost‐effectiveness, and efficiency. In this study, we were interested in the …

Methylcellulose (MC) is an attractive material used to produce thermo-responsive hydrogels.
They undergo sol-gel transition when a critical temperature is reached, thus modifying their …

In this paper cellulose nanocrystals were prepared by treating microcrystalline cellulose with
1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate ionic liquid. Cellulose nanocrystals, after …

“The Tao begets the One. One begets all things of the world.” This quote from Tao Te Ching
is still inspiring for scientists in chemistry and materials science: The “One” can refer to a …

Polysaccharide esters (eg cellulose and starch) are among the first polymeric materials
applied commercially. The way of producing these technically relevant derivatives, mainly …

Abstract Development of bio-nanoreinforcement is gaining momentum worldwide nowadays
since it contributes much to the green materials era. This paper presents a proposal for …
