Crystallinity analysis is important for practical reasons and related research can offer
information on the nature of amorphous cellulose. Two papers in this issue mark a transition …

Cellulose is often described as a mixture of crystalline and amorphous material. A large part
of the general understanding of the chemical, biochemical and physical properties of …

Phase change materials (PCMs) enable passive thermal management by minimizing energy
waste. However, a limitation of organic PCMs is their low thermal conductivity, which leads …

Cellulose, the main constituent of plant biomass, is a unique stereoregular, chiral,
biocompatible and reactive polymer that finds many applications. Despite the novel features …

The valorization study of the largely available corn stover waste biomass after pretreatment
with deep eutectic solvent (DES) for biomethane production in one-liter glass bioreactors by …

Prior to the bioconversion of low cost, renewable lignocellulosic residues such as rice straw
into value added bio-products, their recalcitrant structure needs to be fractionated by using …

Brazil is the second-largest world producer of pineapple and generates almost 45% of its
initial mass in wastes after industrialization, mainly due to the inappropriate deposition of …

A simple in-situ one-step silver mirror reaction (SMR) was utilized for the growth of silver
nanostructures (AgNS) on filter paper (P1, 0.01; P2, 0.1; and P3, 0.2 M AgNO 3) for SERS …

The effect of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating on the
hydrophobic, oleophobic, and strength properties of paper were investigated. The results …

Pineapple crown is generally discarded as waste but constitutes an important source of
lignocellulosic fibres. In this work, the effect of alkaline treatment on the chemical …
