Biocomposites of different lignocellulosic wastes for sustainable food packaging applications (2018, background): “The band present in the absorbance region of 1700-1750 cm-1 is ascribed in the literature to either acetyl and carbonyl groups from carboxylic ester linkages in hemicelluloses and lignin [20,39], or to pectin, wax and natural fats [40,41].”
Comparison of Polylactic Acid/Kenaf and Polylactic Acid/Rise Husk Composites: The Influence of the Natural Fibers on the Mechanical, Thermal and Biodegradability Properties (2010, background): “... cellulose content of the rice husk as shown in Table 1. Furthermore, the higher amount of silica in the rice husk, which is partially responsible for insufficient adhesion between rice husk and matrix, is likely to be an essential factor in determining the properties of PLA-RH composite as it af”
NANOCELLULOSE FROM RICE HUSK FOLLOWING ALKALINE TREATMENT TO REMOVE SILICA (2011, background): “In addition, untreated or treated RH has been proposed as a possible substitute for wood in the production of panels (Ajiwe et al. 1998; Ciannamea et al. 2010; Gerardi et al. 1998; Lee et al. 2003; Leiva et al. 2007; Ndazi et al. 2007).”
