Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 16, Page 3364-3381, 15 August 2026.
Industrial hemp is emerging as a promising renewable source for next‐generation textile fibers. This study evaluates whether acid sulfite pulping can produce hemp‐based dissolving pulp suitable for lyocell manufacturing. While the process is historically linked to increased cellulose accessibility, it did not achieve the low lignin content and ...

Hydrothermal Pretreatment of Hardwood Chips Prior to Alkaline Pulping and D0(EP)D1 Bleaching

BioResources, 2014
In this study, mixed southern hardwood was pretreated via a hydrothermal process at 160 °C for 1 h. Alkaline pulping was then conducted on both the pretreated and original chips to prepare pulp with Kappa 17 and 30.

Fabrication, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of PLA/Chitosan Composites Reinforced With Sugarcane Bagasse–Derived Fillers

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Fiber treatment improved sugarcane bagasse by increasing cellulose content to 71.7% and crystallinity to 91.36%. Among composites, PLA–CS–UASCB showed the best overall performance, maintaining tensile strength and modulus close to pure PLA while delivering the highest antimicrobial activity, reducing E. coli by 20.28% and S. aureus by 28.33%.
