Progress in Green Polymer Composites from Lignin for Multifunctional Applications: A Review
TL;DR: Lignin is one of the three major components found in the cell walls of natural lignocellulosic materials and is widely available as a major byproduct of a number of industries involved in retrieving the polysaccharide components of plants for industrial applications, such as in paper making, ethanol production from biomass, etc.

A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the most appropriate and widely used natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) and their applications is presented in this paper. But, the results of the review are limited due to the high water absorption, inferior fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties of NFPCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on modification methods to cellulose-based adsorbents to improve adsorption capacity
TL;DR: It is evident from the literature survey presented herein that modified cellulose-based adsorbents exhibit good potential for the removal of various aquatic pollutants, however, still there is a need to find out the practical utility of these adsorbent on a commercial scale, leading to the improvement of pollution control.

Isolation and characterization of nanofibers from agricultural residues: wheat straw and soy hulls.
Ayse Alemdar,Mohini Sain +1 more
TL;DR: After mechanical treatments of cryocrushing, disintegration and defibrillation, the thermal properties of the nanofibers were studied by the TGA technique and found to increase dramatically and is reasonably promising for the use of these nanofiber types in reinforced-polymer manufacturing.
