Quantifying Effects of OM–Cation Interactions on Mid‐Infrared FTIR Absorption Spectra of Polygalacturonic Acid

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The composition of organic matter (OM) was explained by effects of OM–cation interactions using polygalacturonic acid (PGA) as model substance. These effects were analyzed by COO− absorption bands in mid‐FTIR spectra. The change in intensity and wavenumber ranges of COO− bands in FTIR was quantified.

Determination of Uronic Acids in Cellulosic Materials

open access: yesTextile Research, 1940
Naturally-occurring cellulosic fibres appear to be a more or less intimate association of cellulose with other constituents, generally referred to as incrusting substances. A portion of these extraneous materials appears to be com posed of uronic acids, presumably contained in the pectic substance of the fibres.

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

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
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 ...

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

open access: yesPolymer 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 ...
