Deep understanding of the structure–property relationships of polysaccharide derivatives
depends on the ability to control the position of the substituents around the monosaccharide …

The most frequent polymer on nature is cellulose that is present together with lignin and
hemicellulose in vegetal biomass. Cellulose can be, in the future, sustainable raw matter for …

The growing interest in biomass as a renewable feedstock drives research toward
innovative processes and performance-advantaged bioproducts. Homogeneous metal salt …

Chemical modification of wood cellulose fibers is important for tailored wood–polymer
interfaces, reduced moisture sorption, and novel grades of chemical wood pulp. The present …

Despite the advantages of membrane processes, their high energy requirement remains a
major challenge. Fabrication of nanocomposite membranes by incorporating various …

In this study, we report on a new strategy using low-concentration acetic acid (LCAA) to
promote cellulose dissolution. High-molecular-weight (HMW) cotton cellulose (DP> 5000) …

In this review, we describe the use of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) in several cellulose
applications. The focus is on different technologies that either exist or are expected to …

Currently-used mechanical and biological heart valve prostheses have a satisfactory short-
term performance, but may exhibit several major drawbacks on the long-term. Mechanical …

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)-esters were prepared by a homogeneous reaction of HPC
with fatty acid chlorides. The effects of different solvent systems and reaction additives were …

To explore further potential applications of acetic acid pulp, an investigation was conducted
to develop a direct method for producing cellulose acetate from wood in combination with …
