Isolation and characterization of cellulose nanofibers from bamboo using microwave liquefaction combined with chemical treatment and ultrasonication

The Effect of Cellulose Nanofibers on the Properties of Starch Biopolymer

“…The extraction of cellulose nanofiber from natural fibers and their applications as reinforcement in starch‐based biocomposites have been studied in the literature. During last few years, the cellulose nanofiber extracted from hemp, Helicteres isora plant, banana peels, wheat straw, sisal, Aloe Vera rind, bamboo, cassava bagasse have been used to improve the mechanical properties and water sensitivity of thermoplastic starch matrix. Actually, nanofibrillation and pretreatment are required procedures for the extraction of cellulose nanofibers from natural fibers.…”

Catalytic Conversion of Bamboo Meal to High‐Yield Furfural With Solid Acid Catalyst FePO4⋅2H2O

“…The FT‐IR spectra of bamboo meal (a), solid residues with H 2 SO 4 catalytic (b), solid residues with FePO 4 catalytic (c) and FePO 4 (d) were shown in Figure . The bands at 832, 1048, 1110, 1250, 1332, 1374, 1510, 1600, 1738 cm −1 were observed in the FT‐IR spectrum of bamboo meal (Figure , a) . Among them, the band at 1738 cm −1 (attributed to the acetyl and uronic ester groups or the ester linkage of the carboxylic group of ferulic and p‐coumaricacid of hemicellulose), 1600 cm −1 and 1510 cm −1 (arising from the aromatic skeletal vibration), 1460 cm −1 (assigned to C−H deformation combined with aromatic ring vibration), and 1250 cm −1 (corresponding to methoxyl groups of lignin) .…”

The bands (Figure , d) between 1150 and 920 cm −1 are due to the P−O stretching vibrations, while the two bands at around 625 and 550 cm −1 are related to the O−P‐O bending vibrations ,,…”

Fabrication of Cellulose Nanofiber/AlOOH Aerogel for Flame Retardant and Thermal Insulation

“…Purified cellulose extracted from bamboo was referred to Xie et al [22]. Typically, 2 g of purified cellulose was soaked in 1000 mL deionized water and split into thinner fibrils through ultrasonic treatment.…”
