TL;DR: In this review, recent advances in the preparation, modification, and emerging application of nanocellulose, especially cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are described and discussed based on the analysis of the latest investigations.

TL;DR: Ethanol organosolv lignin extracted from Miscanthus giganteus (using the following conditions: T ǫ= −190 à −C, t à = 60 à à min, sulfuric acid à 1.2% w/w, EtOH/H 2 OÞ= 0.65) and milled wood Lignin from MISGAPTEUS were subjected to a comprehensive structural characterization by 13 C, 31 P NMR, FTIR, UV spectroscopies and size exclusion chromatography as discussed by the authors

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the technology for biofuel production from Miscanthus within a biorefinery context is reviewed, where various pre-treatment technologies have been developed in the literature to break down the lignin structure and disrupt the crystalline structure of cellulose.

TL;DR: In this paper, microcrystalline cellulose (Alfa-MCC) was extracted from Alfa fibres using acid hydrolysis method and the molecular weight of the cellulose samples was determined by gel permeation chromatography.

TL;DR: Ethanol organosolv lignin extracted from Miscanthus × giganteus with differing levels of severity (1.75 − 13 C, 31 P NMR, FTIR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography) was compared to those from milled wood lignins from the same feedstock as discussed by the authors.
