Contribution of lignin in esterified lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) prepared by deep eutectic solvent treatment to the interface compatibility of LCNF/PLA composites

Shape and Stiffness Switchable Hydroplastic Wood with Programmability and Reproducibility

“…The orientation index was calculated to be 0.88 from the diffraction intensity of the crystal reflection along the equatorial direction of (200). The XRD profiles of the natural wood and the hydroplastic wood both exhibited two broad diffraction peaks at approximately 2θ = 18.3° and 22.2° arising from the scattering of the (110) and (200) planes of cellulose crystals. , Meanwhile, the (200) diffraction peak reflections slightly shifted to larger diffraction angles by approximately 0.18° compared with the natural wood, revealing a decrease in the lattice spacing and a more dense structure of the hydroplastic wood (Figure e) …”

Lignin Containing Cellulose Nanofiber Based Nanopapers with Ultrahigh Optical Transmittance and Haze

“…To measure lignin content, APMP poplar pulp and LCNF sample were dried until constant weight using an oven at 110°C. The lignin contents of the samples were determined according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) standard procedure (Sluiter et al 2008;Zhang et al 2021), with the total lignin contents being the sum of the masses of Klason lignin and acid-soluble lignin. Speci cally, 300 mg of dried sample was mixed with 3 ml of 72% concentrated sulfuric acid and stirred for 1 h at 30°C.…”

Deep eutectic-like solvents: Promising green media for biomass treatment and preparation of nanomaterials

“…As reported by Zhang et al (2021), the DES was prepared, which was composed of ChCl and LA in the molar ratio of 1 to 9. Mechanical colloid milling was used to obtain esterified lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) from lignocelluloses raw material, and then with a direct blending, the LCNF/polylactic acid composites were prepared.…”
