Environmental awareness across the world has motivated researchers to focus their
attention on the use of cellulosic fiber as reinforcement in polymer matrices. Lignocellulosic …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the few biodegradable synthetic resins from petroleum-
based sources that can alleviate white pollution in the environment. PVA film materials have …

Antimicrobial packaging is an area of emerging interest and is rapidly expanding with
application of nanotechnology. The present work investigates the effect of nanocellulose …

Majority of materials employed for food packaging are non-biodegradable materials which
do not meet increasing demands in society for sustainability and environmental safety. Thus …

Porous structures with sizes between the submicrometer and nanometer scales can be
produced using efficient and adaptable electrospinning technology. However, to …

In this work, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) were successfully
incorporated separately into the poly (vinyl) alcohol (PVA) crosslinked composite films …

Physical properties of scaffolds such as nanofibers and aligned structures have been
reported to exert profound effects on the growth and differentiation of stem cells due to their …

This article reviews the tensile properties of various plant fibre-reinforced polymers reported
in literature. We critically discuss the use of plant fibres as reinforcement for the production of …

Regenerated cellulose membranes (RCMs) were prepared from cellulose sufficiently
dissolved in [TMGH] 2+[OOCOCH2CH2OCOO] 2–/DMSO (XILS= 0.2, XILs is the mole …

The cross-linking of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)/chitosan composite films with
