Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of cellulose and preparation of nanocellulose from sisal fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of extracting cellulose from sisal fiber, by means of two different procedures was carried out, including usual chemical procedures such as acid hydrolysis, chlorination, alkaline extraction, and bleaching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA): Review of synthesis, characteristics, processing and potential applications in packaging
TL;DR: A review of different classes of polyhydroxyalkanoates, their main properties, processing aspects, commercially available ones, as well as limitations and related improvements being researched, with specific focus on potential applications of PHAs in packag- ing is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal degradation of cellulose derivatives/starch blends and sisal fibre biocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed thermal analysis of cellulose derivatives/starch blends with different sisal short fiber content under dynamic conditions and found that the addition of the sisal fibres has not produced a high effect on the thermal degradation of the composites materials in comparison with the matrix alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose from rice husk following alkaline treatment to remove silica
TL;DR: In this article, the use of multiple-step procedures to obtain valuable sub-products, including nanocellulose, from rice husk was discussed, which can be used as additives and fillers in a very wide range of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
