Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Water-Resistant Hemicellulose-Based Materials: Processing and Applications.
Wissam Farhat,Wissam Farhat,Richard A. Venditti,Martin A. Hubbe,Mohamed Taha,Frédéric Becquart,Ali Ayoub +6 more
TL;DR: The most useful pathways to change the hydrophilic character of hemicelluloses to hydrophobic are reviewed so that the water resistance can be increased and applications of targeted water-resistant hemICEllulose developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemicellulose extraction and characterization for applications in paper coatings and adhesives
Wissam Farhat,Wissam Farhat,Richard A. Venditti,Ashley Quick,Mohamed Taha,Nathalie Mignard,Frédéric Becquart,Ali Ayoub +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an alkaline treatment was optimized for extraction of polymeric hemicellulose from fully bleached hardwood pulp (B-HWP) and partially delignified switchgrass (SWG).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysaccharides and lignin based hydrogels with potential pharmaceutical use as a drug delivery system produced by a reactive extrusion process.
TL;DR: The characteristics and potential of natural polymers as a drug release system show a strong swelling ability dependent on pH which may be used to control diffusion rates of water and small molecules in and out of the gel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards thermoplastic hemicellulose: Chemistry and characteristics of poly-(ε-caprolactone) grafting onto hemicellulose backbones
Wissam Farhat,Wissam Farhat,Richard A. Venditti,Ali Ayoub,Frédéric Prochazka,Carlos Fernández-de-Alba,Nathalie Mignard,Mohamed Taha,Frédéric Becquart +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a ring-opening graft polymerization of e-caprolactone (CL) was applied to hemicellulose to improve its processability for value-added applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels for Advanced Stem Cell Therapies: A Biomimetic Materials Approach for Enhancing Natural Tissue Function
TL;DR: The capability of hydrogels to either enhance the function of the transplanted stem cells by promoting their controlled differentiation or enhance the recruitment of endogenous adult stem cells to the injury site for repair is reviewed.
