Development of colorless wood via two-step delignification involving alcoholysis and bleaching with maintaining natural hierarchical structure

Journal of Wood Science, 2020
Lignin-free wood has been successfully developed via a two-step chemical treatment while maintaining its inherent hierarchical structure. The first step was alcoholysis which was conducted using ethylene glycol, and whose condition was optimized by ...

A Structurally Specialized Uniform Wall Layer is Essential for Constructing Wall Ingrowth Papillae in Transfer Cells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Transfer cells are characterized by wall labyrinths with either a flange or reticulate architecture. A literature survey established that reticulate wall ingrowth papillae ubiquitously arise from a modified component of their wall labyrinth, termed the ...

Combined analysis of microstructures within an annual ring of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) by dynamic mechanical analysis and small angle X-ray scattering

Journal of Wood Science, 2022
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements of water-saturated wood of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in the temperature range of 0 ℃ to 100 ℃ were focused to clarify microstructural changes within an ...

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]

Polymers, 2019
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...

X-Ray Diffraction Methods for Microfibril Angle Measurement in Maize and Sorghum Stalks

Agronomy
Stalk lodging (the structural failure of plant stems prior to harvest) remains a major constraint to global cereal crop production, reducing yields, impairing grain quality, and increasing harvest losses. Since cellulose microfibrils are the primary load-

Production of Cellulose Microfibrils by Rhizobium [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1975
Electron microscope examination of Rhizobium spp. revealed microfibrils produced by flocculating strains but not by nonflocculating strains. The microfibrils from R. trifolii (NA30) were isolated and identified as cellulose by enzymatic, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectral analyses. Both

Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.
