Journal ArticleDOI

Cellulose nanocrystals: chemistry, self-assembly, and applications.

TL;DR: Dr. Youssef Habibi’s research interests include the sustainable production of materials from biomass, development of high performance nanocomposites from lignocellulosic materials, biomass conversion technologies, and the application of novel analytical tools in biomass research.
Journal Article

Cellulosic nanocomposites: a review

TL;DR: A review of recent work shows that considerable progress has been achieved in addressing these issues and that there is potential to use cellulosic nano-components in a wide range of high-tech applications as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-pot polymerization, surface grafting, and processing of waterborne polyurethane-cellulose nanocrystal nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of new waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/cellulose nanocrystal (CN) composites have been successfully synthesized viain situpolymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a better understanding of the lignin isolation process from wood.

TL;DR: The recently developed protocol for isolating enzymatic mild acidolysis lignins (EMAL) coupled with the novel combination of derivatization followed by reductive cleavage (DFRC) and quantitative (31)P NMR spectroscopy were used to better understand the lignin isolation process from wood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative evaluation of three lignin isolation protocols for various wood species.

TL;DR: Molecular weight analyses showed that the EMAL protocol isolates lignin fractions that are not accessed by the other procedures evaluated, while 31P NMR spectroscopy revealed that MWL is more condensed and bears more phenolic hydroxyl groups than EMAL and CEL.
