Abstract This paper explores the effect of nanoclay for improving interfacial properties starch bioplastic material filled with cellulose-nanoparticles (CNPs). The CNPs were prepared through acid-hydrolysis process by using acid concentration to break amorphous region chopped fiber produce nano-cellulose. Various (0.5 – 2.5 wt.%) dispersed in cornstarch biopolymer matrix form films solution cas...

Cellulose hydrogels were prepared from commercial cellulose using NaOH/urea and LiCl/DMAc methods. For method, alkali hydrates (OH-(H2O)x), urea (urea(H2O)y), water adsorbed into fiber to break hydrogen bonds between molecules yielding HG_Urea. the Lithium-DMAc complexes, [Li(DMAc)n]+Cl-, seeped fibers substituted by O-H…Cl-[Li(DMAc)n]+ produce transparent gel, HGL. Both freeze-dried show chara...

The parameters of the alkaline fractionation process were investigated and optimized using a statistical analysis method to simultaneously remove hemicellulose ash from rice husk (RH) concomitantly. After process, residual solid contained high cellulose, recovery yield was enhanced in fractionated liquid hydrolyzate. hemicellulosic sugar (71.6%), de-ashing (>99%), lignin removal (>80%) ob...
