The Effect of Varying Drying Temperatures on the Recyclability of Thermomechanical Pulps [PDF]
, 1997 There has been conflicting data regarding the effects of recycling on pulps. Strength properties go down for chemical pulps after being recycled, but the strength properties go up for mechanical pulps after recycling.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Bleached and unbleached nanocelluloses were produced from the exhausted grape pomace and applied as coatings on PLA substrates for sustainable food packaging. Unbleached nanocelluloses were more hydrophobic and amorphous than bleached ones. The resulting bio‐based bleached nanocellulose‐coated PLA films showed a 68% reduction in O2 permeability ...

Using Thermophilic Bacteria to Produce Enzymes for Wood Pulping [PDF]
, 1993 The objective of this Senior Thesis Project was to determine if thermophilic (heat loving) bacteria are capable of producing enzymes to break down lignin.

From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating

First report on the termiticidal activity of extracts of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) seeds and on its active constituent squamocins [PDF]
, 2012 Termites inflict severe damage on wood and impede usage of several forest species. The biological metabolites could potentially replace synthetic termiticidal products which are becoming more restricted to use.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Potential of Acacia melanoxylon for Pulping [PDF]
, 2018 Most of the fibre raw materials used by the pulp and paper industry are from a small number of tree species. For instance, Eucalyptus and Pinus species are the major industrial pulpwood sources obtained from forests characterized by a relatively low ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Effects of washing method on the bagasse pulping characteristics by Sulfur Dioxide- Ethanol-Water (SEW) process [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Wood and Paper Industries, 2017 SO2-ethanol-water (SEW) pulping can be considered a hybrid between solvent and acid sulfite pulping processes. Recently this process in order to separation the principal components (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) have been considered.
