Based on publications related to the use of micro-and nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) in
papermaking applications, three sets of parameters (intrinsic and extrinsic variables, furnish …

Paper degradation on a macroscopic scale is characterised primarily by yellowing, an
increase in brittleness, and other destructive changes caused by the hydrolysis of glycoside …

This study focused on preparation of microfibers from bamboo culms using steam explosion
with and without chemical treatments, and utilization of the isolated fibers in formation of …

Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase
their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have been proposed as reinforcement for thermoplastic
polymers due to their potentially superior mechanical properties. However, it seems still …

The deconstruction and valorization of chitinous biomass from crustaceans is a promising
route for sustainable bioproduct development alternative to petroleum-based materials …

In the drive towards sustainable development, the growing application of renewable,
biodegradable, green materials to substitute non-renewable resources has roused …

An innovative approach for preparing hemp fibers from hemp hurds for use in tissue and
towel grades of paper is described. Hemp hurds are a low value by-product of industrial …

Surging interest in finding sustainable alternatives for single-use plastics has galvanized
research into cellulosic fiber-based paper and packaging materials. This investigation …

This study investigates the use of papermaking fines as a reinforcement fibre for fully bio-
based highly densified paperboards. Paperboards were prepared in a wet process followed …
