Sustainable Isotropic Meta‐Wood‐Materials by Topological Reconstruction of Plant Fibers

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Meta‐wood, a novel dense and hard sustainable material, is reconstructed by pure plant fibers without adhesive. It has a 3D network with fibers mechanically interlocked together. This unique structure gives it unique properties that are very different from traditional wood and paper.

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

Alteration of oriented deposition of cellulose microfibrils by mutation of a katanin-like microtubule-severing protein [PDF]

, 2002
It has long been hypothesized that cortical microtubules (MTs) control the orientation of cellulose microfibril deposition, but no mutants with alterations of MT orientation have been shown to affect this process.

Role of Polysaccharides on Mechanical and Adhesion Properties of Flax Fibres in Flax/PLA Biocomposite

International Journal of Polymer Science, 2011
The effect of alkali and enzymatic treatments on flax fibre morphology, mechanical, and adhesion properties was investigated. The multilength scale analysis allows for the correlation of the fibre's morphological changes induced by the treatments with ...

Morphology and Crystallization of Polypropylene/Microfibrillated Cellulose Composites [PDF]

KMUTNB International Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2014
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was prepared by controlling the re-precipitation of cellulose prepared in the mixture form of NaOH/Urea solubilized microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and starch. The cellulose re-precipitation was carried-out in an HCl bath, resulting in a MFC form having relatively lower crystallinity than MCC.

Canola Fiber as Reinforcement for Composites: Effect of Fiber Extraction and Processing Method on Fiber Properties, Nonwoven Manufacturing, and Composite Properties

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of canola fiber reinforced composites manufactured using water‐retted, field‐retted, and enzyme‐treated fibers. ABSTRACT Canola fibers obtained from discarded stalks through various processing methods, including water‐retting and field‐retting followed by mechanical decortication and enzymatic degradation, were utilized as discontinuous ...

Fabrication of Ionic Cellulose Nanofiber Composites by Electrospinning Cellulose Microfibril-Gel-Dispersions in Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Solution

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this study, we propose a fabrication method to obtain composites of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ionic cellulose nanofibers, in which a fiber structure is manipulated through a reconstruction of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO ...

Structural characterization and optimum machining parameters of jute/carbon fibre hybrid reinforced epoxy composite laminates

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Hybrid jute/carbon epoxy laminates have better mechanical performance and less drilling damage by the use of optimized stacking sequence and machining parameters. Abstract Three composite laminate systems were produced using the standard hand lay‐up method: jute‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (JFRP), carbon‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a hybrid of the
