摘要

Due to the inherent stability of plant cell wall structure, the utilization of various fiber raw materials is limited in terms of diversification. Therefore, it is crucial to explore a simple, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective strategy for the high-value utilization of fiber raw materials. Herein, lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) were prepared from wheat straw by a combination of high-yield pulp production technology and mechanical methods. By using the mild biochemical mechanical pulp pretreatment technology, the whole process avoids the use of other organic solvents; only recycled sodium hydroxide chemical reagents are needed. The prepared LCNFs exhibited small particle size range (< 10 nm) and high thermal stability (TMax up to 350.8 °C). Moreover, by adjusting the front-end conditions during preparation, the properties of LCNFs films such as crystallinity, hydrophobicity, and water absorption can be controlled. Overall, this study provides a simple and efficient way for valorizing agricultural waste as well as a feasible alternative to incineration.
