The thin-layer wicking technique was used to determine the surface free energy components
and the surface character of three celluloses (Sigmaccll 101, Sigmacell 20, and Avicel 101) …

The forces acting between cellulose surfaces have been studied using the interferometric
surface force apparatus. The cellulose surfaces were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett …

The objective of this study was to determine the surface free energy components of aqueous-
based cellulose ether films and compare these values with those of other cellulose …

Different treatment processes such as alkaline washing, bleaching, and slack-mercer ization
are used to improve the sorption characteristics of cellulose fibers. The differences between …

In addition to recently Luner and Oh used method for characterizing of the surface free
energy for cellulose ether films, this paper shows the same values however using the …

Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer, and has been used by mankind for
centuries. It is the main structural component of plant cell walls, as has been shown by the …

Molecular mechanics modelling is used to calculate the energies of interaction, hence the
molecular level energy of adhesion at the interface with crystalline cellulose I of three …

The correlations between the surface properties of the modified cellulose papers with their
toner compatibility were investigated. The surface tension components of the cellulosic films …

The wetting properties of wood polysaccharides were characterized by Zisman's empirical
parameter, the critical surface tension of wetting, γc. Cellulose was tested in the form of …

The reactivity and adsorption properties of cellulose fibres are critical for successful
treatment because behavior during the finishing process is determined by both structure and …
