Cellulose, a linear biopolymer, is present naturally in all plants. Apart from being the planet's
predominant natural polymer, it also offers a variety of features including excellent …

This review exclusively addresses material systems primarily based on poly (vinyl
alcohol)(PVA), one of the most popular water-soluble biopolymers, for their use in packaging …

Acid hydrolysis using concentrated mineral acids is currently the most applied method to
prepare nanocellulose, specifically cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). However, the method …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were prepared from waste cotton cloth and degreasing
cotton was used as a comparison. The cellulose was first extracted by alkali and bleaching …

Wet foam can be used as a carrier in the manufacturing of lightweight materials based on
natural and man-made fibers and specific additives. Using a foam forming method and …

Nanocelluloses in recent years have garnered a lot of attention for their use as stabilizers of
liquid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces. Both cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose …

Exploitation of petrochemicals has reflected its negative impact environment. Quest for
