Strong PP/PTFE microfibril reinforced composites achieved by enhanced crystallization under CO2 environment

Polymer Testing, 2022
In-situ polypropylene/polytetrafluoroethylene (PP/PTFE) composites are amazing and promising materials because continuous PTFE fibrils can be dispersed in polymer matrix randomly and uniformly, and meanwhile, PTFE microfibrils can greatly enhance the ...

Intra-annual fluctuation in morphology and microfibril angle of tracheids revealed by novel microscopy-based imaging.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Woody cells, such as tracheids, fibers, vessels, rays etc., have unique structural characteristics such as nano-scale ultrastructure represented by multilayers, microfibril angle (MFA), micro-scale anatomical properties and spatial arrangement ...

Integrating genomic information and productivity and climate-adaptability traits into a regional white spruce breeding program.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Tree improvement programs often focus on improving productivity-related traits; however, under present climate change scenarios, climate change-related (adaptive) traits should also be incorporated into such programs.

Suppression of xylan endotransglycosylase PtxtXyn10A affects cellulose microfibril angle in secondary wall in aspen wood.

New Phytologist, 2015
Certain xylanases from family GH10 are highly expressed during secondary wall deposition, but their function is unknown. We carried out functional analyses of the secondary-wall specific PtxtXyn10A in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula × tremuloides ...

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]

Polymers, 2019
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...

Wood density and microfibril angle from pith to bark of a sugi cultivar (Cryptomeria japonica, Japanese cedar, Tosaaka) grown in a Nelder plot

Journal of Wood Science, 2022
The current stumpage price in harvesting of a 50-year-old sugi (Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica) plantation is not enough to motivate forest owners to reforest. Therefore, it is vital to reduce the cost for reforestation after logging as well as for

Development of colorless wood via two-step delignification involving alcoholysis and bleaching with maintaining natural hierarchical structure

Journal of Wood Science, 2020
Lignin-free wood has been successfully developed via a two-step chemical treatment while maintaining its inherent hierarchical structure. The first step was alcoholysis which was conducted using ethylene glycol, and whose condition was optimized by ...

The microfibril hypothesis of glaucoma: implications for treatment of elevated intraocular pressure.

Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014
Microfibrils are macromolecular aggregates located in the extracellular matrix of both elastic and nonelastic tissues that have essential functions in formation of elastic fibers and control of signaling through the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)
