Adsorption Studies of Amino Cellulose on Cellulosics
Adsorption of a typical example of a new class of amino cellulose, namely 6‐deoxy‐6‐(2‐aminoethyl)amino cellulose at different pH‐values and in the presence of electrolytes, onto cellulose model substrates is studied with surface plasmon resonance and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring.

Sodium Chloride interaction with solvated and crystalline cellulose : sodium ion affects the tetramer and fibril in aqueous solution [PDF]
Inorganic salts are a natural component of biomass which have a significant effect on the product yields from a variety of biomass conversion processes. Understanding their effect on biomass at the microscopic level can help discover their mechanistic role.

Anion specific adsorption of carboxymethyl cellulose on cellulose
Integration of fiber modification step with modern pulp mill is a resource efficient way to produce functional fibers. Motivated by the need to integrate polymer adsorption with the current pulping system, anion-specific effects in Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) adsorption have been studied.

AbstractWhen pursuing sustainable approaches to fabricate photonic structures, nature can be used as a source of inspiration for both the nanoarchitecture and the constituent materials. Although several biomaterials have been promised as suitable candidates for photonic materials and pigments, their fabrication processes have been limited to the small ...

Disassembling of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose fibers: intersheet and interchain interactions in the isolation of nanofibers and unitary chains [PDF]
Cellulose disassembly is an important issue in designing nanostructures using cellulose-based materials. In this work, we present a joint of experimental and theoretical study addressing the disassembly of cellulose nanofibrils. Through 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) mediated oxidation processes, combined with atomic force microscopy ...

Conceptualizing flexible papers using cellulose model surfaces and polymer particles [PDF]
Cellulose, as a naturally abundant and biocompatible material, is still gaining interest due to its high potential for functionalization. This makes cellulose a promising candidate for replacing plastics. Understanding how cellulose interacts with various additives is crucial for creating composite materials with diverse properties, as it is the case ...

Studies on the Cellulose-Binding Domains Adsorption to Cellulose [PDF]
Cellulose-binding domains (CBD) are modular peptides, present in many glycanases, which anchor these enzymes to the substrate. In this work, the effect of CBD adsorption on the surface properties of a model cellulose, Whatman CF11, was studied. The methods applied include inverse gas chromatography (IGC), ESCA, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron ...

The Oxidative Pretreatments of Cellulose for Cellulosic Superabsorbents
Cellulosic superabsorbents (SAP) are produced by using cellulose and cellulose derivative blends with different binding methods, generally. But cellulose in SAP leads decrease in water absorption and water bonding ability because of nonreactive character of cellulose based on its chemical structure.

Dynamics of Moisture Transport in Plant Cuticles: The Role of Cellulose [PDF]
Food production needs to increase significantly in 30 years, and water loss from plants may hold one key, especially relevant in a time of climate change. The plant leaf cuticle is the final defence of leaves in drought and at night, and so by understanding water movement in the leaf with mathematical modelling techniques, we can move towards future ...

Computational study of the effects of density, fuel content, and moisture content on smoldering propagation of cellulose and hemicellulose mixtures [PDF]
Smoldering combustion plays an important role in forest and wildland fires. Fires from smoldering combustion can last for long periods of time, emit more pollutants, and be difficult to extinguish. This makes the study of smoldering in woody fuels and forest duff important.
