Development of Photocatalytic Reactor Technology for the Production of Fermentable Sugars
… an increase in the need for alternative energy. Cellulose based biofuels, especially bioethanol is a form of alternative energy that has the potential to replace petrol. The first step in cellulosic bioethanol production is the release of fermentable sugars via pre-treatment. Conventionally, …

Crystallisation and crystal forms of carbohydrate derivatives
… could act as putative isostructures for cellulose. Our research displays the presence of isostructural references with 1-deoxycellotriose shown to be similar to cellulose III11, 1-deoxycellotetraose correlates with cellulose IV11 and 1-deoxycellopentose shows isostructurality similar to …

Characterization of Laser Modified Surfaces for Wood Adhesion
… wood morphology, hydrolyzed and vaporized hemicellulose, and enriched the surface with cellulose II and lignin. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR FTIR) was used to analyze the bulk of the laser material. This experiment revealed a change in the hydroxyl …

The effect of acid mixtures on biomass cellulose poly (Furfuryl) alcohol nanocomposites
Recently, extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) via acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid has been intensively studied. Moreover, the use of sulphuric acid requires shorter hydrolysis time, while producing stable suspensions with high yield and crystallinity. However, it results in CNCs with …

Electrospun Nanocellulose: A New Biomaterial
… to serve as scaffolds for cellular integration. Cellulose in many forms has been demonstrated as potential biopolymer for tissue engineering; however, it has not been previously electrospun into a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. The overall goal of this research project was to …

Impact of Oxygen and Pesticides on Microbial Cellulose Degradation in Aerated Agricultural Soils: A Microscaled Analysis of Processes and Prokaryotic Populations
The polysaccharide cellulose is a major component of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems and its mineralization drives carbon fluxes in soil. The degradation of plant-derived saccharides (e.g., cellulose, cellobiose, and glucose) is catalysed by a huge diversity of aerobic and anaerobic …
