Nanofibrillated cellulose: surface modification and potential applications (2013, methodology): “A wide variety of non-woody plant have been studied for the extraction of NFC, including cotton [27], ramie [28], sisal [29], flax [30], abaca [26], wheat straw [31, 32], potato tubers [33], sugar beet pulp [34], banana rachis [35], bagasse [36], palm tree [37] etc.”
From paper to nanopaper: evolution of mechanical and physical properties (2014, methodology): “The TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose fibres was carried out at neutral pH conditions according to methodology reported elsewhere (Besbes et al. 2011; Alila et al. 2013).”
Key role of the hemicellulose content and the cell morphology on the nanofibrillation effectiveness of cellulose pulps (2013, background): “…consisting of alternating crystalline and amorphous domains, mostly composed of individualized cellulose microfibrils with lateral dimensions of the order of 10–100 nm and length generally in the micrometer scale, depending on the fibers origine and the pretreatment implemented (Alila et al. 2013).”
