• Preparation of cellulose nanocrystals and carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals from borer powder of bamboo (2014, background): “On the other hand, the strong combination between cellulose and hemicelluloses was believed to decrease the crystallinity of cellulose and accelerate the beginning of the thermal degradation process (Sheltami et al. 2012; Deepa et al. 2011).”
• Production of Nanocellulose from Pineapple Leaf Fibers via High-Shear Homogenization and Ultrasonication (2018, background): “Its cellulose content is higher than that of OPEFB [22], water hyacinth and mengkuang (screw pine) leaves [23].”
• Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr) cellulosic fibre hierarchy: a comprehensive approach from macro to nano scale (2019, background): “This was caused by the cleavage of the ester-linked substances of hemicellulose [46].”
• Eco-Friendly Extraction and Characterization of Cellulose from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (2013, methodology): “…effectively removed the lignin and the hemicelluloses fraction, and produced a total cellulose yield of 64% (w/w) on a dry weight basis, which was higher than the previously reported yield at 44.4% (Sun et al. 1999) and 60.6% (Wanrosli et al. 2004) using chlorite and sodium hydroxide, respectively.”
• Different preparation methods and properties of nanostructured cellulose from various natural resources and residues: a review (2015, background): “…c bacterial cellulose (Grunert and Winter 2002), d rice straw (Lu and Hsieh 2012), e soy hulls (Flauzino Neto et al. 2013), f mengkuang leaves (Sheltami et al. 2012), g sugarcane bagasse (Teixeira et al. 2011), h bamboo (Brito et al. 2012), i eucalyptus pulp (Tonoli et al. 2012), j coconut…”
• Effect of hydrolysis time on the morphological, physical, chemical, and thermal behavior of sugar palm nanocrystalline cellulose (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr) (2020, background): “In fact, removing the amorphous region would affect the crystallinity index, surface morphological structure, and thermal stability of the subjected fibers.(40) The critical components responsible for natural fiber stiffness are nanocrystalline celluloses (NCCs).”
