Acetylation of Holocellulose in Fibrous State [PDF]

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1955
Abstract Acetylation in fibrous state of holocellulose, its alkali-refined product, rayon pulp and Bemberg rayon was undertaken to disclose the effect of pentosan and the structure of holocellulose. 1) Acetylation of air-dried holocellulose is roughly controlled by surface resistance regardless of various ratios depending ...

Thermal Characterisation of Millet to Develop Sustainable Intumescent Passive Fire Protection Systems

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 204-215, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Intumescent paints, coatings, or sealants are a popular form of passive protection in the fire industry. However, the impact of their toxicity and constituent synthetic chemical ingredients is an important consideration for sustainability. This research experimentally studied an agricultural grain, known as millet, quantifying its unusual ...

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic wheat straw in ethanolwater co-solvents [PDF]

, 2017
Pretreatment is the key process for lignocellulosic biomass conversion, which is necessary to alter the structure of biomass to make cellulose and hemicellulose more accessible to the enzymes that convert the carbohydrate polymers into fermentable sugars.

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1398-1413, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Artichoke Bracts and Stems Residues as Active Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) (PBSA) Composites: From Agro‐Waste to a New Sustainable Material

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 2376-2392, 10 February 2026.
PBSA‐based biocomposites made from artichoke bract and stem powders have been characterised and formulated for agricultural and food applications, such as active mulching films. ABSTRACT In the context of a growing bioeconomy and the drive for sustainable materials, new biocomposites were formulated by incorporating poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate) (

Effect of pretreatment process on bioconversion of kenaf (hibiscus cannabinus l.) core to glucose. [PDF]

, 2013
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a renewable carbon-rich lignocellulosic resource for fermentable sugars. In this study, kenaf cores cultivar V36 from four-month-old stems were pretreated by i) physical, ii) physical and thermal, and iii) physical and ...
