Following a Nanomaterial's Journey from Wheat to Plastics - AZoNano

Researchers investigate the production process of lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNF) using wheat straw (WS) feedstock and its subsequent applications for bioplastics.

Rigorous chemical treatments of pure bleached pulp are the most common approaches used to obtain cellulose nanofibrils. These processes incur significant expenses and are a detriment to the environme… [+7170 chars]
