Cellulose nanofibrils and lignin were simultaneously isolated from waste jute bags using soda cooking pretreatment method. Soda cooking resulted in reduction of recalcitrance of lignocellulose biomass leading to hydrolysis of hemicellulose into sugars, which was subsequently washed, leaving a residue of cellulose and lignin.The chemical composition, yield of lignin and cellulose were assessed using TAPPI method and ASTM standards, respectively. Yields of lignin and cellulose were 58 and 45%, respectively, calculated separately on the basis of their content in the jute bags. FTIR results confirmed the removal of lignin and hemicellulose from raw jute fibers during soda cooking process. NMR results depicted the aromatic structure of lignin which was further confirmed by UV results which clearly indicated the presence of phenolic compounds. The thermal stability of cellulose nanofibrils and lignin was higher than raw jute fibers. SEM showed cylindrical cellulose nanofibrils and agglomerates of amorphous and crystalline region of lignin. Size of jute fibers decreased to 12-18nm whereas the crystallinity increased after chemical and mechanical treatments studied using TEM and XRD, respectively. The study confirmed the isolation of cellulose nanofibrils and lignin extraction discarding the hemicellulose using single pot treatment.

Paper-based cultural relics experience aging and deterioration during their long-term preservation, which poses a serious threat to their lifetime. The development of conservation materials with high compatibility and low intervention has been expected to extend the lifetime of paper artifacts. As a new type of biological macromolecule, nanocellulose has been extensively utilized in paper conservation, attributed to its excellent paper compatibility, high optical transparency, outstanding mechanical strength, and large specific surface area with abundant hydroxyl groups.

In recent years, conductive gel materials have attracted extensive attention in the field of flexible electronics because of their excellent elasticity. When constructed as gel fibers, they can adapt to greater deformation, be woven, and be assembled with fabrics to make wearable smart devices without compromising comfort. However, gel fibers reported often exhibit insufficient mechanical properties and poor adaptability to different environment.

Quaternized cellulose fibers and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are attractive candidates for the development of new renewable and biodegradable materials. However, the etherification reaction, through which functionalization is commonly achieved, provides low efficiencies, limiting industrial interest in the modification. This work primarily aims to increase the efficiency for the quaternization of cellulosic fibers while keeping the fiber-structure intact.
