Plant cell walls form an organic complex composite material that fulfils various functions. The
hierarchical structure of this material is generated from the integration of its elementary …

Hemicelluloses, a family of heterogeneous polysaccharides with complex molecular
structures, constitute a fundamental component of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the …

The mass production and disposal of non‐degradable fossil‐based plastics is responsible
for alarming environmental and social issues when not managed responsibly. Towards …

Exploitation of plant lignocellulosic biomass is hampered by our ignorance of the molecular
basis for its properties such as strength and digestibility. Xylan, the most prevalent non …

The interaction between cellulose and xylan is important for the load-bearing secondary cell
wall of flowering plants. Based on the precise, evenly spaced pattern of acetyl and …

Xylan is a fundamental structural polysaccharide in plant secondary cell walls and a
valuable resource for biorefinery applications. Deciphering the molecular motifs of xylans …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has several current and potential future uses in the food industry
because of its ability to form hydrogels with distinctive properties. The texture of BC …

Selected polyphenols exhibited binding selectivity to different cellulose-based composites
and apple cell walls. For catechin, cellulose is the dominant binding component, whereas …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising material for use as an artificial skin in wound healing
application, however, its applications are limited due to its poor malleability. Incorporating …

Sugarcane bagasse and straw are generated in large volumes as by-products of agro-
industrial production. They are an emerging valuable resource for the generation of …
