Recent studies on the application of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) in cellulose
chemistry have made great progresses. This has been providing a new and versatile …

The potential of a lignocellulosic fibre, jute, was assessed for adsorption of heavy metal ions
like Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) from their aqueous solutions. The fibre was also used as …

Composites of an aliphatic polyester (Bionolle) with natural flax fibres are prepared by batch
mixing. The effect of processing conditions on fibre length distribution and the dependence …

The reaction mechanism of the hydrolysis of cellulose by a carbon-based solid acid,
amorphous carbon containing graphene sheets bearing SO3H, COOH, and phenolic OH …

The availability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and ease of chemical modification make
cellulose a promising natural polymer for the production of biomedical materials …

Cellulose with a degree of polymerization up to 650 can be dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide
containing 10 to 20%(w/v) tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate without any pretreatment …

This paper reports the preparation and characterization of nanocomposite films based on
different chitosan matrices and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) for the purpose of improving …

The introduction of phosphate groups into cellulosic fibers allows for the tuning of their fire
resistance, chelating and metal-adhesion properties, enabling the development of flame …

Highly pure cellulosic polymers obtained from waste lignocellulose offer great potential for
designing novel materials in the concept of biorefinery. In this work, alpha-cellulose and …

The main objective of this work was to extract microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) particles from
different cellulosic resources like cotton, jute, newsprint, filter paper and investigate their …
