Lignocellulosic Nano-materials: Preparation, characterization and applications

Ing. Pawan Kumar Mishra

Disertační práce

Anotace:

In this thesis, Brewers Spent Grains (BSG), which is commonly available by-product from brewing industry was used to prepare CNF and characterized for morphological, chemical and thermal characteristics and Kraft lignin was used to synthesize lignin-based solid and hollow colloids and characterized, an application in UV protection was studied. In application, applications in drug delivery and nanobiocomposites were studied. To study application in drug delivery review of metal and ceramic nanoparticles were made and the anticancer drug was loaded on CNF aerogel and tested for drug release studies (our contribution was to prepare Nanocellulose based scaffold and help in the morphological evaluation, rest of the work was done by a collaborating group). In nanocomposites, a book chapter was written enlisting biopolymers including nanocellulose with title smart nanocomposites in food packaging
