Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic liquids--promising but challenging solvents for homogeneous derivatization of cellulose.
TL;DR: A critical analysis reveals that promising features of ionic liquids are combined with serious drawbacks that need to be addressed in order to utilize ILs for the efficient synthesis of cellulose derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Cellulose Beads: Preparation, Characterization, and Applications
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of fibre surfaces during pulping and refining as analysed by SEM, XPS and ToF-SIMS
Pedro Fardim,Nelson Durán +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of laboratory pulping and refining on the surface properties of eucalyptus kraft pulp fibres were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysaccharides for tissue engineering: Current landscape and future prospects.
TL;DR: A perspective of the recent approaches in developing polysaccharide scaffolds is provided, with a focus on their chemical modification, structural versatility, and biological applicability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topochemistry of alkaline, alkaline-peroxide and hydrotropic pretreatments of common reed to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.
TL;DR: The topochemical modification of the fiber wall by hydrotropic pretreatment could improve the fiber digestibility, and thus the maximum glucan and xylan yields with the cellulase dosage of 20 FPU/g raised to 93.1% and 25.5%, respectively.
