Composition analysis, mechanical properties, and water absorption kinetics of extracted cellulosic fibers from Calamus deerratus cane as biodegradable reinforcement alternatives

Next Materials
This study aims to fill a research gap on the genus Calamus by providing a detailed elucidation on one of the insufficiently explored species, namely Calamus (C.) deerratus fiber. This investigation encompasses the chemical composition, fiber extraction,

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Homogenization of a system of elastic and reaction-diffusion equations modelling plant cell wall biomechanics [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper we present a derivation and multiscale analysis of a mathematical model for plant cell wall biomechanics that takes into account both the microscopic structure of a cell wall coming from the cellulose microfibrils and the chemical reactions

Enhancing Plateau Capacity of Binder‐Free and Self‐Supported Napkin‐Based Hard Carbon Anodes for Sodium‐Ion Batteries Via a Pre‐Oxidation Modulation Strategy

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Precise regulation of preoxidation time and carbonization temperature in biomass napkin‐derived hard carbon generates abundant closed pores and ultramicropores, significantly enhancing the capacity in the low‐potential plateau region (the high plateau capacity of 266 mAh g−1) and thereby achieving highly reversible sodium‐ion storage (395 mAh g−1 at 30

Comparison of the structure and flexural properties of Moso, Guadua and Tre Gai bamboo [PDF]

, 2015
Bamboo is an underutilized resource widely available in countries with rapidly developing economies. Structural bamboo products, analogous to wood products, allow flexibility in the shape and dimensions of bamboo structural members.

Optimization of Microfibrillated and Nanofibrillated Cellulose Coating to Improve Performance of Paperboard Intended for Food Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This study aims to optimise the application methods of a biobased suspension of micro/nano cellulose fibrils from agro‐biomass subjected to high‐pressure homogenisation. Two methods were selected, bar coating (BC) and spray coating (SC), and were tested using an LF factorial design with 3 levels and 2 factors.

Investigating the Three‐Dimensional Forming of Microfibrillated Cellulose‐Coated Paperboard With Full and Localised Coatings in Thermoforming, Hydroforming and Deep Drawing

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
The 3D formability of paperboard was examined using full and localised microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) coatings in thermoforming, hydroforming and deep drawing, and the results were linked to bulge‐test strain behaviour. Full‐surface fluidised MFC coatings consistently improved strain capacity and 3D formability, achieving performance comparable to ...
