Benchmarking of nano-fibrillated lignocellulose based on rheological behavior

Lignocellulosic biomass plays a vital role in the global shift away from the utilization of non-renewable petrochemical resources. the market demand for lignocellulose nanofibrils has increased dramatically as they are attractive as a bio-based material due to their high strength, low density, high aspect ratio, functional ability, and biodegradability. Therefore, the sharing of scientific knowledge in the field of the production of lignocellulose nanofibrils, and knowledge about the science of rheological behavior, fosters a collaborative network among participating institutions in this field.
In addition, writing and submitting an ISI article based on the obtained results, taking advantage of valuable expertise and experience, and establishing a scientific relationship to expand cooperation in the future for two specialized groups can be useful for the two universities.
