The growing interest in bioplastics is largely attributed to their environmental benefits and their potential to remediate petrochemical polymers[1]. Among biobased polymers, cellulose has gained considerable attention due to its …
There has been a growing demand for natural cellulose fibers for different applications. The production of insulation boards from cattail biomass offers a viable substitute for conventional insulation materials, addressing …
Cellulose based plastics are gaining global interest for their numerous applications. Softwood and hardwood logs are used to produce cellulose fibres. Thermoplastic cellulose esters are promising materials for bioplastic packing. …
Although the world has come to the realization that exploitation of non-renewable materials are not sustainable, (Petrillo et al, 2018) there has been a limited interest in fully utilizing natural, …
Plywood is one of the most widely used wood-based product in the world and mainly produced from silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) tree. It is constructed by combining layers of …
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer in the world. Small diameter softwood and hardwood logs are used for pulping process to produce cellulose fibres for paper production. Thermoplastic cellulose esters …
Plywood has high structural strength, dimensional stability and other sought-after mechanical properties and as a result, the production of plywood has increased significantly over previous decades (FAO of the UN, …
