How to tailor flow-induced nanostructures of nanomaterials of cellulose nanofibrils?

Cellulose nanofibrils (NFCs) are the elementary reinforcing constituents of plant cell walls. They are isolated from cellulose fibers in the form of slender semi-crystalline nanofibers (Fig. 1) with outstanding intrinsic mechanical properties, e.g. a longitudinal elastic modulus

From Biomass to Medicines: a cellulose derived product as building block in the synthesis of bioactive compounds

The bio-refinery concept is based on replacing fossil fuel with biomass, having the advantage to use renewable natural raw materials. This topic is currently of interest in academic studies, industrial applications and political strategies, both for the

Generation of a microbial factory for direct biofuel production from plant cellulose waste

Biofuels have attracted increasing interest due to economic, geopolitical and environmental concerns caused by fossil fuels. It has been proposed as a renewable, sustainable and environmental-friendly fuel to replace fossil fuel or be used as fuel additive.
