This paper addresses two fundamental issues in the peak deconvolution method of
cellulose XRD data analysis: there is no standard model for amorphous cellulose and …

Nanocellulose materials have emerged as a new family of nanomaterials of great interest.
That is due to their environmental advantages, including their production from renewable …

Although measurements of crystallinity index (CI) have a long history, it has been found that
CI varies significantly depending on the choice of measurement method. In this study, four …

The degradation mechanisms of natural fiber in the alkaline and mineral-rich environment of
cement matrix are investigated. Cement hydration is presented to be a crucial factor in …
