Lignin-Rich PHWE Hemicellulose Extracts Responsible for Extended Emulsion Stabilization
Maarit Lahtinen,Fabio Valoppi,Venla Juntti,Sami Heikkinen,Petri Kilpeläinen,Ndegwa Henry Maina,Kirsi S. Mikkonen +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to characterize the structure of the phenolic residues in both GGM- and GX-rich wood extracts and their role in the stabilization of emulsion stability, indicating that phenolic structures improve the long-term physical stability of emulsions.
Journal ArticleDOI
From aviation to automotive - a study on material selection and its implication on cost and weight efficient structural composite and sandwich designs.
TL;DR: The case study demonstrates the importance of early structural design trade-off studies and material selection and justifies introducing novel fibre systems in low-cost applications of moderate stiffness levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC): pullulan bionanocomposite films
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and characterized microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)/pullulan bionanocomposites, showing that the affinity between the two polymers resulted in new hydrogen bonding of the nanocomposite materials compared to pristine pullulan.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
