Glycerol assisted pretreatment of lignocellulose wheat straw materials as a promising approach for fabrication of sustainable fibrous filler for biocomposites

Glycerol pretreatment is a promising method for the environmentally-friendly transformation of lignocellulosic materials into sustainable cellulose-rich raw materials (i.e., biopolymer) to fabricate biocomposites. Here, a comparison of aqueous acidified glycerol (AAG) pretreatment of wheat straw (WS) with alkaline, hot water, and dilute acid...
