Systematic Study of Aromatic-Ring-Targeted Cycloadditions of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Platform Chemicals.

TL;DR: In this article, a structure-activity relationship was established in furan-yne cycloaddition for a number of different HMF derivatives, and the activation energy of the cycloadding stage and the structure of the substrates were established by molecular modeling methods.

Extraction and Characterization of Hemicelluloses from a Softwood Acid Sulfite Pulp.

TL;DR: Alkali-soluble hemicelluloses displayed relatively narrow size distributions and low molar masses, Mw varying between 18,900 and 30,000 g/mol after acid sulfite pulping, and it was found that two types of hemicelling were isolated, glucomannans, predominant at 67%, and methylglucuronoxylans.

Cellulose: Fascinating Biopolymer and Sustainable Raw Material

TL;DR: The current knowledge in the structure and chemistry of cellulose, and in the development of innovative cellulose esters and ethers for coatings, films, membranes, building materials, drilling techniques, pharmaceuticals, and foodstuffs are assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
