This study investigated the impact of cellulose polymorphs on nanocrystals (CNCs) preparation. Cellulose samples with different types (cellulose I, II, and III) were prepared. Subsequently, CNCs obtained from above by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The initial characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) particle size distribution (PSD). A comparative showed that properties closely related to cellulose. original I II retained,...
Highly efficient preparation and carboxylation of nanocelluloses were achieved simultaneously using innocuous recyclable citric acid with the assistance ultrasonication.
In this work, we studied intermolecular aqueous clusters of biuret, an important urea derivative. FTIR showed increase in the intensity absorption bands when water molecules are introduced into biuret. X-ray diffraction analysis that introduction biuret structure significantly increases on patterns range from 14 to 65 2˚⊖. Aqueous have also been gas phase by theoretical methods: density functional theory and Atoms Molecules (AIM) using DFT level B3LYP/6–31 + G (d, p). The nature molecular...
Environmentally friendly cellulose/GO/TiO2 hydrogel photocatalyst has been successfully fabricated via a green, simple, and one-step method evaluated as the adsorbent for removal of methylene blue (MB). The XRD FTIR analysis suggested strong interaction among cellulose, GO TiO2, resulting from formation hydrogen bonds. Due to unique porous structure cellulose introduction GO, showed superior (degradation ratio ∼ 93%) reproducible (no significant change during ten consecutive cycles)...
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained attention as a sensitive technique for the detection of pesticide residues. However, constructing homogeneous, stable, and large-volume "hot spots" is challenge. In this study, D-T-CNFs@Ag SERS substrates were fabricated by decorating flexible dialdehyde TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibril (D-T-CNF) film with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Carboxylate groups aldehyde on nanofibrils used growth sites AgNPs main reducing agents forming...
Bacterial cellulose loaded with palladium was fabricated into a sheet-like dip-catalyst through compositing plant fibers.
Cellulose synthase A genes (CesAs) are responsible for cellulose biosynthesis in plant cell walls. In this study, functions of secondary wall synthases PtrCesA4, PtrCesA7-A/B and PtrCesA8-A/B were characterized during wood formation Populus trichocarpa (Torr. & Gray). CesA RNAi knockdown transgenic plants exhibited stunted growth, narrow leaves, early necrosis, reduced stature, collapsed vessels, thinner fiber walls extended lumen diameters. the transgenics, stems mechanical strength, with...
