TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of dispersion IR spectroscopy for natural fibres studies is discussed and a review by Annette, Sudhakar, Ursula and Andrea also demonstrates the application of this technique for natural fiber analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the compatibility between the heterogeneous constituents of plant fibre composite, various modification approaches aiming at overcoming the incompatibility and refining the interfacial adhesion of the composite, interfacial bonding mechanisms, and the assessment of interface structure and bonding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural analysis of lignin is divided into qualitative and quantitative analyses, and different analytical methods could provide significantly different results that are even sometimes not directly comparable, and the magnetic resonance techniques have proved to be efficient analytical tools for the structural elucidation of these complex biopolymers.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical structural and composition of lignin in the straw, and its modification and uses as an adhesive are discussed. But, the lack of optimising or processing technologies is significant when it comes to using technical lignins.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the latest advances in the preparation, properties and applications of graphene oxide (GO) and GO-based materials is provided in this article, which provides a comprehensive and most useful database for further innovations and understanding of GObased materials for potential applications, including the need for a better understanding of the GO structure and for high catalyst loading in oxidative reactions and limitations of GO in supporting electrocatalysts due to a high density of defects.
