Facing increasing social, environmental, and economic pressure to substitute non-
renewable fossil resources with renewable ones, hemicellulose has received attention as a …

The intrinsic hygroscopic nature of lignocellulosic materials allows water molecules to
interact with cell wall polymers, and thus affects their performances. The presences of nano …

There are limited methods available for measurement of the porosity of cellulose fibers, even
more so for obtaining a pore size distribution. Conventional pore analysis methods require …

One of the critical challenges in the fiber-based packaging industry is to produce low-density
paperboards with high functionality and attractive cost structure. In this study, we examine …

Dehydration often causes severe aggregation of biomacromolecules, leading to the loss of
their physicochemical and biological properties. Given that cellulose is a useful biomass, we …
