Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 The structure of cellulose microfibrils in wood is not known in detail, despite the abundance of cellulose in woody biomass and its importance for biology, energy, and engineering. The structure of the microfibrils of spruce wood cellulose was investigated using a range of spectroscopic methods coupled to small-angle neutron and wide-angle X-ray ...

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rationale Hemicelluloses are abundant carbohydrate components in plant cell walls. They play a crucial structural role in binding cellulose microfibrils, in addition to other biological functions. Their high structural variability directly influences their biological properties, making it important to establish a structure–function ...

Ethylene Signaling Is Required for Fully Functional Tension Wood in Hybrid Aspen
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Tension wood (TW) in hybrid aspen trees forms on the upper side of displaced stems to generate a strain that leads to uplifting of the stem. TW is characterized by increased cambial growth, reduced vessel frequency and diameter, and the presence of ...
