Fully bio-based cellulose nanofiber/epoxy composites with both sustainable production and selective matrix deconstruction towards infinite fiber recycling systems

Microemulsion systems for fiber deconstruction into cellulose nanofibrils.

A new method to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) is proposed to reduce the energy demand during deconstruction of precursor fibers suspended in aqueous media. Microemulsions were formulated with aqueous solutions of urea or ethylenediamine and applied to disrupt interfibril hydrogen bonding. Compared to typical fibrillation of lignin-containing and lignin-free fibers, pretreatment with micro...

Towards a carbon-negative sustainable bio-based economy

The bio-based economy relies on sustainable, plant-derived resources for fuels, chemicals, materials, food and feed rather than on the evanescent usage of fossil resources. The cornerstone of this economy is the biorefinery, in which renewable resources are intelligently converted to a plethora of products, maximizing the valorization of the feedstocks. Innovation is a prerequisite to move a fo...
