Production of nanocrystalline cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass: technology and applications. (2013, background): “The hydrolysis parameters applied, though building on previous investigations of extraction starting from microcrystalline material, proved also sufficiently suitable for hydrolysis from a macrofibre, such as okra, while the results from morphological, thermal and mechanical analyses showed some pot”

On the use of plant cellulose nanowhiskers to enhance the barrier properties of polylactic acid (2010, background): “ Roohani et al. (2008) attributed this behaviour to positive interactions between the cellulosic surface and polymeric matrix for the latter.”
Properties and ageing behaviour of pea starch films as affected by blend with poly(vinyl alcohol) (2015, unknown): “The crystallinity of PVA was obtained 381 from the ∆Hm values (J.g-1 PVA), taking the ∆Hm reported (Roohani et al., 2008) for 382 100 % crystallized PVA (161.6 J.g-1 PVA) into account.”
