Preparation And Characterization Of Cellulose Microfibrils From The Selected Agricultural By- Products [PDF]

, 2006
In this study, corn cobs and sugarcane bagasse were the agricultural by-products being used for preparing cellulose microfibrils. Cellulose microfibrils were extracted from these agricultural by-products by a combination of chemical and mechanical ...

Origin of chiral interactions in cellulose supra-molecular microfibrils

, 2014
The formation of a chiral-nematic phase from cellulose nanowhiskers has been frequently reported in the literature. The most popular theory used to explain the chiral interactions is that of twisted morphology of cellulose nanowhiskers.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Cellulose–water system’s state analysis by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and sorption measurements

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2020
Most cellulose-based materials’ manufacturing processes include processing this biopolymer in an aqueous medium. Sorption properties depend on cellulose supramolecular structure and nature of its change during moistening.

Deciphering Branched Galactomannan Structures via Multistage Ion Mobility MS and MSn Fragmentation (Multistage IMSn)

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 ...

The Social Amoeba Polysphondylium pallidum Loses Encystation and Sporulation, but Can Still Erect Fruiting Bodies in the Absence of Cellulose [PDF]

, 2014
Amoebas and other freely moving protists differentiate into walled cysts when exposed to stress. As cysts, amoeba pathogens are resistant to biocides, preventing treatment and eradication.

Electrical Breakdown Analysis of Emerging Oil–Paper Insulation Systems

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This investigation addresses the effect of particulate additives on the electrical breakdown strength of the oil impregnated insulation paper system. The morphological complexity is addressed by converting data from scanning electron microscope images to a data set suitable for numerical simulation analysis. Then, by using the conventional oil‐

Swelling of Valonia Cellulose Microfibrils in Amine Oxide Systems

, 2008
in pressCellulose microfibrils from Valonia ventricosa cell-wall fragments were immersed into molten N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMO. H2O), stabilized with n-propyl gallate and kept at 80°C. The resulting ultrastructural modifications, which
