Predicting microfibril angle in Eucalyptus wood from different wood faces and surface qualities using near infrared spectra [PDF]

, 2010
International audienceThe microfibril angle (MFA) of crystalline cellulose in the wood cell wall along the stem axis has major effects on stiffness and longitudinal shrinkage of wood and is of key importance to timber quality. The aims of this study were:

Pipe rheology of microfibrillated cellulose suspensions [PDF]

Cellulose, 2019
In this paper, we analyse the shear rheology of suspensions of two MFC grades in the consistency ranges of 0.2% to 1.5% and 0.5% to 2.0% with a pipe rheometer combined with ultrasound velocity profiling. In addition to yield stress and shear viscosity, we study the slip behaviour of the MFC suspensions, as this topic has so far been mostly neglected in

Sculpting the Future of Bone: The Evolution of Absorbable Materials in Orthopedics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the current status of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic absorbable materials in orthopedic applications, and highlights several innovative strategies designed to enhance mechanical performance, control degradation, and promote bioactivity. We also discuss the progress and translational potential of absorbable materials in treating

Real-time imaging reveals that lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase promotes cellulase activity by increasing cellulose accessibility

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background The high cost of enzymes is one of the key technical barriers that must be overcome to realize the economical production of biofuels and biomaterials from biomass.

A Kinetic Model for the Enzymatic Action of Cellulase [PDF]

, 2009
We develop a mechanochemical model for the dynamics of cellulase, a two-domain enzyme connected by a peptide linker, as it extracts and hydrolyzes a cellulose polymer from a crystalline substrate.

Mistletoe‐ and Mussel‐Inspired Fabrication of Hierarchically Structured Protein‐Cellulose Scaffolds From Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

Transcriptome profiling of Pinus radiata juvenile wood with contrasting stiffness identifies putative candidate genes involved in microfibril orientation and cell wall mechanics

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background The mechanical properties of wood are largely determined by the orientation of cellulose microfibrils in secondary cell walls. Several genes and their allelic variants have previously been found to affect microfibril angle (MFA) and wood ...
