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

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 14, Page 12992-13011, 20 July 2026.
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 ...

Deciphering the molecular functions of sterols in cellulose biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Sterols play vital roles in plant growth and development, as components of membranes and as precursors to steroid hormones. Analysis of Arabidopsis mutants indicates that sterol composition is crucial for cellulose biosynthesis. Sterols are widespread in

Multiscale structure of cellulose microfibrils in regenerated cellulose fibers

Carbohydrate Polymers
Cellulose in solution can be assembled into textile fibers by wet-spinning (Viscose etc.) or dry-jet wet spinning (Lyocell, Ioncell etc.), which leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of fibers. We use scanning X-ray microdiffraction (SXM) to reveal regenerated fibers having a "skin-core" morphology.

Glucose Modulates Marine Xylanase Activity: Insights From Caulerpa lentillifera and Synthetic β‐1,3‐glucoxylans

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Two recombinant xylanases from marine bacteria, β‐1,3‐xylanase Xyl4 and mixed‐linkage xylanase AlXyn26A, were used to digest glucoxylan structures extracted from the green alga Caulerpa lentillifera and synthesized by automated glycan assembly. High‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS) analysis of the reaction ...

Tunable Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents‐Driven Fractionation of Olive Pomace in an Integrated Biorefinery: Linking Lignin Structural Tailoring to Carbohydrate Valorization and Biopolymer Production

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Microwave‐conditioned olive pomace was fractionated with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) spanning acidic, neutral, alkaline, and chemo‐enzymatic regimes. The alkaline DES provided the best balance between delignification and carbohydrate preservation, yielding a fermentable glucose/xylose stream suitable for Haloferax mediterranei fermentation and poly(3‐

Processing of Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced with Polysaccharide Nanocrystals

Molecules, 2010
Aqueous suspensions of polysaccharide (cellulose, chitin or starch) nanocrystals can be prepared by acid hydrolysis of biomass. The main problem with their practical use is related to the homogeneous dispersion of these nanoparticles within a polymeric ...

A computational model for three-phase fluid-structure interaction and its application to cellulose microfibril dynamics

Computational and Mathematical Biophysics
Three-phase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems couple the motion of solid structures and two different fluids, often exhibiting complex dynamics and posing challenges for computational investigation. The main objective of this paper is to present
