Bioethanol Production from Unpretreated Cellulose under Neutral Selfsustainable Hydrolysis/Hydrogenolysis Conditions Promoted by the Heterogeneous Pd/Fe3O4 Catalyst.

TL;DR: The synergistic effect played by water (which aids in the chemical pretreatment means of cellulose through the hydrolysis process) and the Pd/Fe3O4 catalyst (which catalyzes the hydrogenolysis reaction driving the pattern of obtained products) is elucidated.

Atomic force microscopy reveals how relative humidity impacts the Young's modulus of lignocellulosic polymers and their adhesion with cellulose nanocrystals at the nanoscale.

TL;DR: Evaluating how the relative humidity affects the reduced Young's modulus of lignocellulosic films prepared with crystalline cellulose, glucomannan, xylan and lignin and how relative humidity changes their nanoscale adhesion properties with CNCs allows to better understand the lignosic film properties at the nanoscales.
