Herein for the rst time, lignocellulose nano brils (LCNF) were prepared from pine-wood powder using microwave (MW)-assisted deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment coupled with high-pressure homogenization. A DES based on choline chloride and lactic acid was employed, and LCNFs prepared by conventional DES pretreatment at 110°C (LCNF-110) and 130°C (LCNF-130) were used for comparison.Although MW treatment offered a high removal of lignin (70%) and hemicellulose (90%) within a short time (110 s), the morphological observations by scanning and transmission electron microscopies revealed excellent de brillation of the conventionally heat-treated samples. Likewise, LCNF-110 and LCNF-130 exhibited high tensile strengths of 154.6 ± 5.0 and 136.8 ± 1.2 MPa, respectively, whereas that of LCNF-MW was only 75.6 ± 1.4 MPa. Interestingly, LCNF-MW with a lignin content between that of LCNF-110 and LCNF-130 exhibited high thermal stability (T max 309.6°C) and potent antioxidant properties.However, the lignin contents of the LCNFs determined their UV-radiation blocking e ciency, where LCNF-110 > LCNF-MW > LCNF-130. Furthermore, all LCNF lms exhibited good visible-light transparency, exibility, and water contact angles (> 87°), indicating their promising potential for packaging applications.
