In this work cassava bagasse, a by-product of cassava starch industrialization was investigated as a new raw material to extract cellulose whiskers. This by-product is basically constituted of cellulose fibers (17.5wt%) and residual starch (82wt%). Therefore, this residue contains both natural fibers and a considerable quantity of starch and this composition suggests the possibility of using cassava...
Banana plant waste, as lignocellulosic fiber, was treated with alkaline pulping and steam explosion to produce banana fibers and banana microfibrils. The chemical composition of the ensuing fibers and microfibrils was determined. The chemical modification, with maleic anhydride, of the produced particles was further carried out. The FT-IR analysis and scanning electron microscopy observations of the...
The chemical composition and morphology of Syngonanthus nitens (Capim Dourado) fibers were investigated. An unusual low lignin content and high holocellulose content have been observed. High aspect ratio cellulose whiskers were prepared from these lignocellulosic fibers by an acid hydrolysis treatment. The average diameter and length were 4.5 nm and 300 nm, respectively, giving rise to an aspect ratio...
