A classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities.
TL;DR: With the steady increase in sequence and structural data, it is suggested that the enzyme classification system should perhaps be revised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneous suspensions of individualized microfibrils from TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation of native cellulose.
TL;DR: Never-dried native celluloses (bleached sulfite wood pulp, cotton, tunicin, and bacterial cellulose) were disintegrated into individual microfibrils after oxidation mediated by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radical followed by a homogenizing mechanical treatment.
Microfibrillated cellulose, a new cellulose product: properties, uses, and commercial potential
TL;DR: A 2% suspension of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) in water has thixotropic viscosity properties and is a stable gel on storage, or when subjected to freeze-thaw cycles as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental determination of the elastic modulus of crystalline regions in oriented polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic modulus of oriented polymers was determined using an x-ray diffractometer specially constructed for this purpose, and the lattice extension in the direction of the fiber axis was measured under application of a direct load.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of morphological changes from pulp fiber towards nano-scale fibrillated cellulose on the mechanical properties of high-strength plant fiber based composites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated how the degree of fibrillation of pulp fiber affects the mechanical properties of the final composites, using kraft pulp subjected to various levels of refining and high pressure homogenization treatments was used as raw material with different phenolic resin contents.
